As if my thesis needed more conceptual evidence of the fickle relationships we have with high tech devices, here’s the the seven stages of owning an iPod or rather being between iPods. via Valleywag.
The curse of advertising to me
One of the many problems that you face when you travel is the language barrier of course. I speak and understand 3 (french, english and italian), but now I’m back in Amsterdam, I’m being bombarded by Dutch again (or Holish as Tod puts it). That”s only fair in a way and just pushes me to… Continue reading The curse of advertising to me
Music sharing in Zune
Zune (coming out in stores on the 14th of November) just came out with some really interesting features that replicate a number of my thesis ideas around music sharing between devices.

Hopefully I’ll find a cozy place of my own, I’m getting a bit tired of… Continue reading On the road again

post-Touch
Reader-less wall Originally uploaded by alexandra666. I was thinking about the Near-field workshop when I saw the remains of the RFID reader at the Milan location of former idii. It’s interesting to think of post-touch in a way. How will our environments react to stable versus mobile touch interactions? How will they be defaced or… Continue reading post-Touch
Some say it better (more Tagteam)
