- Back in 2005 after thinking about “Attention, Recognition & Context” I wrote in 2006 that I was “hung up on the concept of context“ and a bit later “On context and openness” Which lead to the thinking about how I do what I do at Lifekludger, documented in the “Contexts and Clues” section of the About [...] [more]

- In the first 2 minutes of this interview from Supernova, Clay touches on the reason why Lifekludger as a collaborative eco system for good hasn’t yet got traction. So far most of the action on the net has been to organise group activity around STOP actions (eg: protests) not START actions (positive change building). [more [...] [more]

- After my previous post about the “Touch Barrier” as referring to the inherent issues of the pervasive use of touch technologies I had some good responses. @lucychili pointed me to work Peter Hutterer is doing with MPX Laurel wrote a blog post “Disabilities social networks games” pointing to a article DISABLED GAMERS’ COMPRISE 20% OF CASUAL-VIDEOGAME [...] [more]
- I have no idea what Mike’s up to but caught odd fragments via twitter while sitting in a cafe eating my lunch that he was doing some kitchen experingmenting with DNA and fruit. And a reference to Milton the Monster which I couldn’t help but respond to as Milton is a fondly remembered cartoon from [...] [more]
- So, I spent most all of today sorting, cleaning and tossing stuff out me shed. As part of the ruthless cull I packed away in a box over 100 cassette tapes that I hadn’t listened to for over 10 years…no over 15 probably. I’m giving them away. But of them there was some I just couldn’t part [...] [more]

- Was asked to give comment pre-budget on what I wanted from the budget. I’m never good at the one-line message that newspapers seem to want, I have trouble encapsulating all my thoughts in a short space, so I rambled on a bit and they picked something out that I guess they thought relevant. The photographer was great. [...] [more]
- I was awake at 5am the other morning so I could go to a artistic performance in Second Life. The performance was of Pink Floyd’s The Wall concert set to the original music from The Wall. And it was spectacular. It is so popular we had to be there an hour before start to make [...] [more]
