The Dashblog

The Danish Design Center in Copenhagen has commissioned an exhibition of the Dashboard for Danish Design Week next summer. We’re super excited by this and will keep you updated on our progress.

We’ve had a lot of very interesting comments on the Dashboard, so much so that a new iteration is in the offing. Right now we’re trying to work out how to add some more specificity to the concept without being overly prescriptive. So version 1.0.6 is going to turn into the cliched 2.0 at some point in the future with the hope that we can skip to 3.0.1 soon after. Keep the comments coming.

I gave a very informal presentation of the Dashboard over lunch to the delightful Alie Rose from the Copenhagen Institute of Interaction Design. This is a brand new design school in Denmark that starts its pilot year in September. It’s very cool, very exciting and you can read all about it here.

We’ve given the User Guide an update. We encourage you to download it and have a look because that’s where the meat of this project is. There are jokes too. Mostly the changes are writerly things and typos, so, if you’ve already downloaded it, skip it this time.

Ok, so it’s one day after the launch and were already getting some really interesting comments back. There are some really smart people out there and it’s nice when they take the time to write. Perhaps we’ll do a blog post summarizing some of their thinking in the near future. We’re still on Dashboard 1.0.6 but we’re already wondering about a system upgrade. Keep the comments coming!
