I am happy to share that the folks at Vodafone Receiver decided to mashup some of my blog entries and my AAAS talk for their Issue #18. The piece, called Socializing digitally won’t be new to many of you, but i still find it exciting to see a morphed version of my writings. What’s even cooler is that it’s published alongside some work that i think is uber cool. The other pieces in this issue are:
- Phone Call (interview with The Faint)
- Homecasting – video-sharing as a cultural practice (by José van Dijck)
- Connected strategies for connecting homes (by Mark Newman)
- Keeping things simple (by John Seely Brown)
- Appliances evolve (by Mike Kuniavsky)
- How users take communication technologies home (by Leslie Haddon)
- The new television (by Louise Barkhuus)
- Pleasant, personalized, portable – the future of domotic design (by Fausto Sainz de Salces)
My apologies for everyone for the sound on my piece. This is not my fault. And i agree that it sucks that you can’t turn it off. For those with a sound aversion, here’s a PDF version of my piece
You can turn the sound off it is just a poorly designed interface… there is a hover action in the little flash movie.
Meanwhile another enjoyable piece thanks, I might have a more meaningful comment later but just wanted to note that you could banish the noise in case people were put off
