Yay, it’s Where 2.0 time again, which means heading off inordinately early in the morning. Last year was at Millbrae … … this year San Jose. Where [badum] I’m hoping to catch-up with the many interesting people who make the yearly pilgrimage. Somehow this seems to happen via each of our Profile Pages (only slightly [...]

Single Sentence Synopsis: Buildings could offer WiFi photo uploading service, in return for keeping the photos taken of them. This post is the second part in a trilogy, but also the part that’s been bouncing around in my mind the most. So in Star Wars saga style, I’m writing the middle part first. I’ll get [...]

Regine has part 2 and part 3 of her report from Resistant Maps up on We Make Money Not Art. From now on I’ll call them we make money not art to save space.Those who do not like their politics or political websites to be cutting, pointed, and possibly slightly less clever than they are cynical turn away now….

Which of those did [...]

All the surveillance cameras in the UK should just be wired into the cable TV network and let everyone watch everyone else.
Tim just posted a post about another post over at O’Reilly Radar about the artist Hasan Elahi whose work centers around tracking and photographing his everyday movements.

Here’s a quick throw-away post for the people who came to the “Technology 2.0″ talk last night. Which, what, huh, phones have location based info we can hack around with and use? This is an extract from an IM with Mor Naaman from a couple of days ago. [snip] Mor: Here’s the list: Mor: Any [...]
