Vancouver Digital Week is coming up soon (May 11-14), and it's a must-attend for anyone in the New/Social/Mobile Media scenes in the Pacific Northwest. In fact, it's an international must-attend event (even GDC is part of it this year, so it's going to be huge in 2009!). So all you ...

If you haven't seen this already, then go check it out. Terse political opinions fly by with impunity. What to do, what to do...and how does media theory speak to this? I can anticipate hundreds of approaches, from critical political economy to social constructivism to what-have-you ... but then again, ...

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, ...

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 ...

Today we tested our live streaming video and GPS tracked bike commutes, this time using a third bike to pull the wifi mesh/wimax trailer.
I worked for about an hour this morning assembling the mounting clamps for the two phones on two bikes. Both worked very well and withstood many bumps. ...

Today Roland and I mounted our Nokias (running Qik and Nokia Sportstracker Beta) on our bike helmets and rode around False Creek (see this map of our route, and see my Qikstream here). Due to rain, Scott (who was to supply our connectivity on a third bike, pulling a trailer ...

Just two days before I posted at Mobile Muse about social media mashups around health information, Google announced their Health API and Health Data API. So it looks as though some of the pieces are already in place for the development of tools for managing health information on a personal ...

I exercise 5 days a week, and much of this is running. While I can be found in local gyms on occasion, I try to do as much of this running as possible for free. For in using a treadmill, with its diligent, brainless constancy, I subjugate my running activity ...

I had the opportunity last week to present my ongoing research into user-centered technology design (which is what is evolving out of my ethnographic research in the lives of mobile handset users) as part of a panel all about Mobile Muse (where I'm the Program Manager, for those who aren't ...
