About the Big Bangs!

The one and only real **[whurley](http://www.chaoticmoon.com/company/people/whurley/)** visited [the factory](http://www.creativefactory.nl) the week before the previous week for an interview by [OMT](http://www.onemorething.nl). Obviously having such a guru in the office building we refer to as "home" couldn't go unnoticed which urged a Suprnovaen to feel free to "pick the genius brain" prior to the interview. Truth be told... The [fellow](http://www.chaoticmoon.com/company/people/whurley/) is awesome, his [company](http://chaoticmoon.com) is crazy and his products are "beyond". [He](http://www.chaoticmoon.com/company/people/whurley/) does epitomize innovation and in light of that statement you would understand that Master Inventor and [International Genius](http://ciaobasta.com/2012/11/23/appsterdam-international-genuis-grant-2012-will-hurley/) accolades, among the many others, are hard earned and well deserved. As for us, we've been honored by his presence, his humility and willingness to teach and inspire. We have also fed of the powers radiated from his aura. Yes! We've seriously drawn some of the awesome he uncontrollably radiates wherever he goes -- awesome overdose!

_Entrepreneur is French for Fool_ was the [Bubbleconf](http://bubbleconf.com) 2012 talk title for the illustrious [Mike Lee](https://twitter.com/bmf). The video is chuck-full of Mike's interesting take on the early 21th century startup universe.

Stimuli from every direction. In any direction you venture from our office, something inspiring awaits...

At last -- we're home! We've been living in our temporary spot for about 1 and a half week and have moved into our real office about a couple of minutes ago. We're popping a couple of brews with our neightbors on friday to get acquainted. On the 7th of october we'll be having our first Suprbash during which we'll be presenting the driving forces, the envisioned goals and the odd ducklings which drive Suprnovae. Check the facebook event. I'd be there if I were you \*wink\*.

One of our Suprnovaens has just earned those electronics engineering stripes and is currently considering taking some Computer Science courses just for the heck of it -- if he's actually going to do it is another thing but "consider it, he does".

We've had our eyes set on this collosus of a building with a intriguing [history](http://www.rotterdam010.nl/104-Overzicht-04/03/S-Graansilo-Brielselaan-13-08-2008-01.html). In the midst of the south district of this inspiring city, a building that once served as a grain silo houses a squad of creative creatures. We've just signed the contract to dwell among these kindred spirits.

A couple of 1 hour mock-up designs for the fictitious fashion designer Eleanne Krauss. The Didot typeface has been used to recreate the classical feel familiar to fashion-related design work. The placement of the elements and the dark background have been as such to keep the layout uncluttered. The botanic touch is purely because Eleanne is that fond of trees and since she's fictitious we can pretty much say anything about her. The images have been pulled from a [Flickr gallery](http://www.flickr.com/photos/86411706@N02/galleries/72157631370751286/) containing some photographs published for use in accordance to the terms stated in the Creative Commons license (read the caption for each image for the proper attributions).

Well we've spend a full day last week to work on the designs for the ApesKilledMars website. Another couple of precious hours have been spend working on a few mock-up designs for other projects but let's focus on the Apes now.

1:45 AM and someone's still whipping code for buki.co -- refactoring and testing the codebase before introducing new features.

Did our first round of officespace scouting. Had a look at the Creative Factory in Rotterdam -- interesting crowd, amazing energy, fascinating history... all-in-all good vibes.

The first glimpse from one of the designs for **buki.co**.

We have just registered our very own shortlink, urlhack, if you will, which should make finding us online much easier for you. It is most likely known to you that a [supernovae](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supernova) is a rather impressive stellar explosion. We're extremely fond of things that cause big bangs and therefore chose this name to suggest that we intend to influence our surroundings in a similar fashion. The word's etymology leads us to the Latin *Super* and *Novae* and our buzzing minds decided that *nu*, pronounced as "new", would be the perfect [TLD](http://www.google.nl/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=3&ved=0CHsQFjAC&url=http%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FTop-level_domain&ei=2FcZUPmrIaSw0QWngIGACQ&usg=AFQjCNFYU4sAWnJaH97RRqBDXOIoZibEtg&sig2=G73yXT1v7z1tAI0uHxSKdg) in our case. Our name is comprised of the latin *super* meaning "above, beyond" and *novae* meaning "new" and now you can find us online by using the [URL](http://www.google.nl/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=2&ved=0CHkQFjAB&url=http%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FUniform_resource_locator&ei=R6IZUJWpKufD0QX6zYGICw&usg=AFQjCNFVKoOa_HlcuDeUu8wYS_g70me4Kw&sig2=JJOoSyQnKSAFVLiIfeOi2w) "supr dot new". **http://supr.nu** -- You have to admit... that is *supr* awesome!
