Well... it happened. I bought myself a smartwatch. It was a long and inner debate between the LG G Watch R and the Moto 360, with the first winning it after quite a struggle. This article represents the first chapter of a two-part in depth review. First I will present the watch and all its ups and downs. Later on, in the second chapter, I will express my opinions regarding Android Wear and the whole experience behind it. But first things first, let's start with the LG G Watch R.
Moleskine Smart Notebook
After presenting at World Information Architecture Day 2015 in Bucharest, I managed to get my hands on the new Moleskine Smart Notebook powered by Adobe's Creative Cloud (thanks to Anda and her surprise kindness). I've been a Moleskine fan ever since I saw Marius wielding one at a conference before I even tried to imagine seeing myself at Grapefruit. Well, now I'm here and ready to present the latest gimmick from the notebook manufacturer.
Design Teaching
Starting with this year (second semester) I'm back once again teaching laboratory classes at the Faculty of Computer Science from Iasi. This time it will during the Human Computer Interaction Course (Master Studies) held by dr. Sabin Corneliu Buraga. After more than six semesters being on the other side (from student to teacher) there are a few lessons I learned the way. So here we go.
