Generation WE: Video Ethnography
Video is not a new thing for researchers to use as a way to communicate their findings. In fact, video is a fairly common practice to record the quotable moments that help us understand our people better. However, in all honesty, video that comes out of this work, for the most part, is no more [...]
You Were Here
Location awareness back then. Why it is interesting is because physically created things carry more perceived value. They get joy when they see it is still there. Others might become excited to anticipate the next time visit by that person. Is it valuable to make a location aware service not broadcast status?
Buying Time on the Bus

After a healthy update to the admin interface, I am now on my way to unified [...]
Just A Thought on Business Culture and Design
Mobile handset companies are trying to position themselves with “iPhone killers” but it’s hard for me to take them seriously. Why?

Apple Announces New iPods, Commercializing Touch Interfaces
Okay, so the new iPods are out, and they are hot (minus the nano, sorry). Wireless iTunes. Ringtones. 8GB iPhones get a $200 price cut. Starbucks partnership. So while everyone is getting their knickers in a bunch for whatever reason, this announcement brings many compelling questions to mind:
Apple is leveraging the huge iPod user base [...]
