What is Ambient Computing?

Perhaps it’s easiest to start by saying what it isn’t. It’s not simply another name for the Internet of Things (IOT) — though there are aspects of IOT that embody Ambient Computing. Nor is it a revolution. Rather, it is guided evolution — making conscious choices about the direction in…

Apple Glass Speculation

[Repost from Fall 2022] With the fall Apple (iPhone) event almost upon us, time to speculate if there’ll be a “One more thing…” moment. Apple does things their own way and speculation around a pair of Apple AR/VR glasses has been rampant, but it’s remained unclear if, when, how and…

Reading Audiobooks

My preferred order for reading books is audio > ebook > paperback > hardback. (Except for art and photography books, in which the order is hardback > ebook > paperback.) Reading an audiobook of course means listening to it and debates abound whether we retain information better or worse if…

Today is an exciting day. Think back to the past 15 years and the things that we take for granted now that didn’t exist then. The ability to have a video call almost anyone, anywhere for free. The most comprehensive encyclopedia in history in your pocket, updated in realtime by…

Web Design — The Evolution of the Digital World 1990-Today

📖 Started to read this book by Taschen today and finished the first chapter which covers the early years of the web from 1990–1997. It gives examples of early sites (Amazon, eBay and Yahoo sure have been around a while) and tech that moved design ahead such as FutureSplash and Flash. Curation also played a significant role in discovery pre search engines, social and network effects. What strikes me so far is how individual each of our early online journeys were, for those of us who have been online since the mid-90s.

Being around…

My Year in Cinema — 2017

Living in NYC again means being able to take full advantage of films that get even the most limited of limited releases (such as Marjorie Prime), while also seeing the biggest films (such as Blade Runner 2049) before they open nationwide. …
