X-mas Alert:
Designed by Michel CRUCIANI an EDF corporate guy, Kyogami is a Boardgame Helping you to understand the Kyoto protocol in a playful way!

“The exciting aspects of the Kyoto Protocol have been translated into a board game, Kyogami.

The game is based on the use of tradable quotas as a new kind of money, enabling players to reduce progressively green-house gas emissions. Kyogami combines fun and practice!

Fighting climate change will remain a major issue all along the 21st century. An approach through a game complements other tools to make adults and children more aware of this issue.”

Today film tip: a documentary about the web, new technologies, social networks and their effects on politics and governments.

“New technologies and a closely related culture of collaboration present radical new models of social organization. This project brings together leading practitioners and thinkers in this field and asks them to determine the opportunity for government.

My tip for watching long films like this: bookmark them in a folder or with a tag like “to watch”, and come back to it when you start thinking of watching tv.

1. Do some research about funky technologies. Best find some scientific PDF documents.
2. Find the most funky formula.
3. Select it.
4. Make a screenhot.
5. Call it “graphic design” (most important point!)
