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 [...]
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 [...]
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. [...]

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 [...]
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 [...]
