Enter WakeMe.At

N.B.: this post was actually intended for my other blog, but as apparently it’s having hiccups, let’s go for backup :)
Following last week’s exciting news about the launch of FireEagle and the consequent wave of new interest in location base social networks (like brightkite) I think it’s definitely time to come to terms with rough [...]

On the run for digital ground and its value

Plenty of news these days, but not the right time to talk about those.
Just wanted to quickly point out this thing that dawned on me now, sa I was finally having a closer look at Plurk.
Plurk, you may say, is yet another twitter clone. I like to say it’s twitter with added motion sickness, because [...]

post BarCampLondon4

another day, somehow shorter than the first, but equally engaging.
I eventually did my small presentation, with the effect that I realized a good title for it just while presenting it. Here you can find the slides, published on google docs:

Geeky note #1: presenting in google docs is ok… for a barcamp at least. But no [...]

Back from day 1 of BarCampLondon4

The first day of this first barcamplondon of the post-BBC era is over, and here I am to write down a few considerations on the experience.
The overall impression is awesome, and I think the general mood is that this event is definitely up to the standard we were used, although in the morning I saw [...]

Juno made me feel good

Watched Juno last night.
You know what? I loved it.
Well done, better played.
Nice story, maybe a bit on the optimistic side…
…but hey, what’s wrong with that?

wee-e-e-e-e-e-eek

True, I said one week out :)
I’ve been spending a couple of weeks (almost non stop) kindly hosted by a client’s office in order to facilitate the launch of their new project.
Apparently there’ll be more (support, documentation, handover, other than the fun bug-squashing) so until the end of the month you’ll find me in [...]

Hands on experimentation

I decided to start trying to bring some of my culture to London, other than just absorbing its own. First stop: home made pasta :)
Details soon.

A conversation with MattB

Last week I participated in a conversation with Matt Biddulph (Dopplr’s CTO) here in London. Since it was set-up as an interview to allow Feba to gather material for her thesis, I joined in with a few questions and here you’ll find my personal highlights about it (for detailed notes, see Feba’s posts).
Together with us [...]

Human Tetris

The Original Human TETRIS Performance by Guillaume Reymond.
[via Webgol]
Because it’s interesting when computer games take physical space as model and metaphor, but it’s even more interesting when gaming experiences are recreated in physical, everyday environment: think ARGs and mobile augmented reality systems for different approaches to this same concept.
A previous example was PacManhattan by Dennis [...]
