getting the conversation going …

Thanks to Wordle, this visualization art looks great and feels good.

Come join the fun:

It is a great feeling to see people coming together to share and to celebrate. Tonight, I attended the iPhone Party in Hong Kong, organized by the HKU Mac User Group and sponsored by 3HK, Beansbox, Headnix, Palava Digital.

We have folks from Anobii, ZenDesk, EditGrid to demo their latest stunts on iPhone … Good job!

Here you go, 2 pictures taken from the ‘old’ iPhone. Pardon for the poor quality, but I want to assure you both the venue (Grappa) and the atmosphere were excellent.

After many days and nights of hard work for the last two months. The second release of AirGini was born last night at Wonderland.

With the new version, you’ll be able to invite friends and to engage into richer conversations by sharing your AirGini messages with each others. There is a revised user interface as well. Go ahead to upgrade your AirGini to the latest version now and have fun in staying in touch with your dearest friends.

For AirGini Team as a whole, we shared our joy and our pain to overcome various obstacles. We are always striving our best to achieve the optimal quality. With every tiny success every single day, we’re making our way towards the public launch. We can tell that AirGini is going to brighten up your life.

As designers and craftsmen, we are proud to be a member of AirGini Team to design and realize this creative mobile platform. Everyone in the team works together in their roles in such a harmony.

Welcome to planet Earth, AirGini M2!
And see you all in the world of AirGini ~

- Be Bright, and Joy… Kevin & the AirGini Team

Today we received a sweet box of surprise from the Fit Associates (www.fitassociates.com) - a brilliant design research & consulting firm based in Pittsburgh.

We worked with Marc Rettig and Jenna Date during the creation of AirGini. They are the one who planted the seed of user-experience design into the minds of our product team. Thanks to them, it’s now our work culture to integrate design process into everything we do.

This box of chocolates from Recchiuti Confections (www.recchiuti.com) immediately earned our admiration: it excels in its look & taste and delivers an amazing experience.

Every piece of chocolate has its unique shape & pattern. If you were not one of those adventurous souls, check out the mini booklet and it’d show you exactly what they have in layer 1, layer 2 and layer 3. The enjoyment starts all the way from:

• ‘Attraction’ - picking your favorite piece
• ‘Engagement’ - consuming it
• ‘Extension’ – wanting to have another piece…

What a great cycle of experience from a nice box of chocolate selected by the team of User Experience guru!

Thanks Marc & Jenna, you guys are so sweet!

Today is the private alpha launch of AirGini! A big round of applause for our supportive friends, remarkable partners and devoted team members, they have all contributed in shaping AirGini in their own special ways.

AirGini is a new, cozy way of communication – It’s about making it easy for you to enjoy your favorite Internet conversations on your phone, bringing you closer to the people you care and the web services you enjoy.

As designers and creators, we have first hand experience on how AirGini is brightening up our lives. And that’s why we are eager to launch AirGini and make it available for you.
