Japan Trip
We spent three weeks touring around Japan, building-up a network of connections and scouting some suppliers. The trip was amazing and eye-opening.

Little Printer Hackday
Back in May we hosted a Little Printer Hack Day here in Iceland. A handful of us got together to program some interesting publications.
A big thanks to the Berg London team for loaning us a Little Printer for the week to test and demonstrate an example of an actual Internet Of Things thing.
Hopefully we can release some of the interesting publications soon, pending client approval. Stay tuned!
