The Food Calendar
This Christmas Gro discovered she might be gluten intolerant. That of course presents some new problems, and problems need to be solved. Writing down everything one eats seems like a smart thing to do in a situation like that, but it gets tedious pretty fast. A friend of ours is having great success with his new eating habits (We’re just gonna mention the book “The 4 hr body” and...
Augmented Art
Last weekend Johannes went to the National Art Museum in Oslo. Great art from lots of different artists, but it’s hard to know everything (or anything) about the artwork. This led Johannes’ girlfriend to end up using the iPhone to google the artists so she could learn more from the experience. So the idea of a tailored experience utilizing the artworks, smartphones and knowledge...

Martin Ødegaarden Henriksen is a friend, and a colleague (he works with Gro at Hyper Interaktiv), and he commutes everyday by train. His idea of how to combine train and training is the second to be featured on Feature Friday:

So instead we’d like to hear what you think about the topic we have chosen for the next Pitch Night:
What’s the next...

Today Casper presents an idea that he developed for Pricerunner together with his classmates from Digital Media 11 at Hyper Island; Sebastian Marenius, Stefan...
Feature Fridays
Hi! We enjoyed hosting the Advent Calendar so much we’ve decided to introduce a new concept that we call Feature Friday.
Feature Friday is for you guys to share your own ideas with The Refinement Club community, and we hope this is something that can encourage more interaction. We’d love for The Refinement Club to become a place of inspiration, where ideas can be shared and discussed...
Your Local Community Hub
Our city, Oslo, is made up smaller parts called “bydeler” - local communities. These local communities often have their own local newspapers that you get in the mail. They’re seldom very interesting. We thought about what we would like to know about our local environment, and how we’d like to get that information.
Surprise, surprise: we want everything and we want it...
