Nicolas pointed me to some work that Jamie Lawrence and his colleagues have been doing on the topic of what they refer to as “co-location”. It’s a neologism tied to [w:Stanley Milgram]’s [w:Familiar Stranger], someone who is observed repeatedly over the course of time, but with whom there is no interaction.

In this whimsical blog post, the author shares their excitement over new tech endeavors, including an ADXL203 evaluation kit and a Motorola i415 mobile device. With plans to create a pedometer that blogs, affectionately named flavonoid, the author envisions a future where capturing life’s moments becomes effortless. As they await their new desk for a more comfortable working environment, there's an underlying theme of merging technology with everyday life, exploring how devices can enhance our experiences in a fast-paced world.

Drove up to San Francisco for the weekend, kind of, to see family and stop in at the Stupid Fun Club‘s Christmas party.

I started piling up references, links, papers and so forth — my harvest of material on the topic of mobile social software — in a bid to steel myself for the preparation of a short point-of-view document on the topic and to help pour some concrete into the frame I’ve built around this blogjects topic so as to ad…

Chris Heathcote just dispatched this tasty nugget — the Aibo’s with the new brain? They blog their day. Here’s Pedro chit-chatting and moblogging about what he’s up to. Mostly what’s captured are the things he’s looking up at along with some lilting, aphoristic musings.

As I prepare for the Blogjects workshop at Lift, I'm diving into the concept of a Blogject prototype that captures the essence of our movements in the world. Together with Will, we envision a tool that records our perambulations and connects them with other locative phenomena, allowing our experiences to unfold in a casual, organic way. Rather than stopping to document every detail, the Blogject will replay our journeys, revealing insights from the unseen corners of our digital and physical landscapes. This exploration of presence and dissemination opens up exciting possibilities for how we share and interact with our surroundings.

ISEA2006 Call for Workshop Proposals

Jed Berk, an MFA student over at Art Center College of Design, graciously offered to show us Alavs (Autonomous Lighter Than Air Vehicles) — the flocking blimp project he and his colleague Nikhil Mitter have been working on. The blimps are kitted out with a small SunSpot — a Sun made sensor platform with some pro…

The Sorell NF1 is not just another gadget; it's a portal to a universe of location and media possibilities. Caught by Victor Szilagyi’s keen eye, this little device can do it all—track your whereabouts, play your favorite tunes, and show you videos, all while hinting at a deeper relationship between technology and our everyday movements. As I ponder my first project with the ADXL203 Evaluation Board, the idea of creating a DIY pedometer fills me with excitement. This journey into the world of blogjects offers endless opportunities for exploration and innovation, inviting others to join in on the fun of hacking and creating.
