Internship: Domani Studios


Long time no blogging! I’ve been very bad with updating my blog this summer. Hopefully I will get things rolling again as soon as school starts, which is in a week. One big thing has happened this summer though. I got an internship! I’ll be interning as a developer at Domani Studios in New York City. I’ve been looking in to their work for a long time now and I’m really excited to have the opportunity to work with them.
I’ll be there from late November until June. I’m looking forward to move to New York, and also to feel how it is to work in the U.S.

My Sky Status


Visit the site: http://myskystatus.com

This is a pretty good example of how to market yourself through inviting other companies. Lufthansa wants you to be able to tweet our update your facebook status while you’re in the air. With MySkyStatus that’s possible. It tracks your flight number and creates a tweet about how far above the sea you are and where and when you landed etc.
I think it’s a cool concept and it looks pretty good too!

SpotifyAlarm


SpotifyAlarm

SpotifyAlarm is a small project me and my friend John did.

It started with me working late one night and a dead phone and no alarm clock. I decided to make an own. There is already a bunch of alarm clocks working with iTunes but since I have all my music on Spotify it would be great with a SpotifyAlarm! It’s coded in Actionscript 3 and then exported as a AIR application. John Karlsson did a new design for it the next day and I did some bug fixes. Turned out pretty cool!

We got a lot of publicity for our two night job. We went from 250 hits to 7500 hits on google on the search SpotifyAlarm. We were also featured on many tech-blogs and newspapers. It was a very fun project.

You can read more and download SpotifyAlarm on LVL3.se (Our common site).

The site is live!


Yes! It’s live! This is the first blog i run so I will try very hard to maintain it. This site will also work as my portfolio so at the work page you can see my actual works. In the blog I will post some code examples that I’m trying out and also a lot of nice inspiration. It looks very empty here on the site right now. I will start to post all my work soon.

For those of you who doesn’t know me. My name is Theo Stråhlén and I’m a student at Hyper Island in Karlskrona. I’m a developer in both Flash and HTML. So that’s what I will post here. Flash examples, javascript examples etc.

Hope you will enjoy my blog! And yeah, my domain is pretty bad. I had it since I was around 15 and I’m not a designer anymore.
