Open Mobile, as it happens

Sunday, September 21st, 2008

It was fun setting up to Brian Eno's Music for Films, which cast an alternately serene and ominous shadow over our dry runs with the 3 screens. I think the keynote went over well. The tech worked out supremely, with all 3 screens going, SIFT aggregation, Movino, ...

Open Mobile

Tuesday, September 16th, 2008

I'm presenting a keynote this Sunday for an event called Open Mobile, presented in part by Mobile Muse as part of New Forms Festival 2008. I'm co-presenting with Roland Tanglao and Jesse Scott (artist info here), who will be my visual accompanists. But hopefully their visuals will override and scramble ...

Mobile Videobiking at Car Free Vancouver

Monday, June 16th, 2008

As planned, yesterday, Roland and I strapped N-series phones to our bikes, pulled along a wi-fi/WiMAX equipped trailer, and performed Le Tour Des Car Free Fests. As my Sportstracker data indicates (in two segments), we managed to visit three of the four main sites for Vancouver's Car Free Day. Nokia Sportstracker ...

MUSE3 Showcase Forum :: Fearless City

Tuesday, March 4th, 2008

We had a whirlwind day of great presentations (and challenging deliberations) at the MUSE3 Showcase Forum last Friday, at SFU Harbour Centre. Embedded at right is the first of these presentations, from the Fearless City group. To view the rest of the, go to my blip page. This video was ...

MUSE3, public displays, NV08 & Fusion recap

Wednesday, February 27th, 2008

I'm chin-deep in MUSE3 planning (excuse the outdated site at them thar preceding link - that's part of what I'm working on), gearing up for our Showcase Proposal Forum this Friday (check back on Friday morning with that link for the webcast), adjusting my Web 2 specs after all the ...

panel 2 panel

Tuesday, October 16th, 2007

I'm back from Montréal, having had a good but curt time in la belle province. 4S (image of the plenary at R, more available here) was, to be honest, hit and miss; some panels were dull as television, and some others were painful to watch due to speaker-unpreparedness. Sometimes I ...

AOIR 8 update

Thursday, October 4th, 2007

Here's another update on AOIR 8, happening Oct 17-20 in Vancouver. The Program (cover featured at right) is complete and off to the printers, room assignments have been made, and things are generally getting all keyed up around here. There's quite a range of papers and panels happening - too much ...

Remake/Remodel

Thursday, September 27th, 2007

I hope I haven't used this Roxy Music song as a post title before... While assembling my upcoming conference papers, I've been twiddling with this blog on the side in lieu of regular updates (well, alright, I've also been focused on the dupobs release schedule - you can listen to ...

Ex-Perry Mental Geekery

Saturday, September 8th, 2007

Nice to be back in the swim of things. I just put a final report out the door on a research project that I'd been working on for 14 months. It was a difficult project - one that didn't always go as planned, that got intermittently sidelined by other events ...

Beercamp Vancouver

Friday, August 17th, 2007

Tonight and tomorrow I'll be mind-moshing with local geekerati at Barcamp Vancouver. If you're signed up to be there too, come up and innerdooce yourself (you already know me by sight, or can figure it out via flickr or facebook, can't you?). I always like to meet readers and fellow ...
