About me
My name is Daniel Stødle. I live in Tromsø, Norway, at 69.66° North. By day, I work as a Postdoc at the Department of Computer Science, University of Tromsø, Norway; by night, I run my company SCSC. I do most of my development on and for Mac OS X. My research is geared towards wall-sized, high-resolution displays. Read more on my personal page.
