  • Communities, Technologies and Participation: Notes from C&T 2009

    Participation was the overriding theme at the 4th International Conference on Communities and Technologies (C&T 2009) last week. We can design and deploy technology to support a community, but how do we truly engage that community and motivate its members to participate? One way I was personally trying to promote engagement via technology within the C&T…

  • Digital Cities 6

    I finally got a chance to attend a workshop in the Digital Cities series last week at the 4th International Conference on Communities and Technologies (C&T 2009) at Penn State University.

  • Innovating at MyStrands, Seattle

    It’s been a little over a month since I left Nokia and started principally instigating at MyStrands, Seattle.

  • SlideShare: YouTube for Presesentations

    I signed up for an account on SlideShare shortly after Mor Naaman told me about this social networking service for slides (after I’d asked him for his slides from Mobile Persuasion 2007).

  • Working at Nokia on Context, Content and Community

    We recently posted an external web page for the Context, Content and Community project I’m working on (and playing with) in collaboration with some of my new colleagues here at Nokia Research Center, Palo Alto.

  • Almost Famous

    Kristi Heim wrote a nice article about Interrelativity (and me) in The Seattle Times, entitled Using High-Tech to Help Break Ice, that appeared in today’s paper.  As with Kristi’s’ great article about Amal Graafstra and his RFID agenda, she really captured the essence of what Interrelativity — and I — are all about. I felt…

  • “Living Labs” keynote at UCSD

    I’ll be giving the keynote this Friday at the UCSD Jacobs School of Engineering Research Review. The theme is "Living Labs" and while I will, of course, be talking primarily about our experience with proactive displays at UbiComp 2003, I’ll be starting off by emphasizing the committment of Intel Research to the concept of living…
