• Iceland: freedom, calamity, creatvity.

    Someone (thx Tad), on FriendFeed just posted a link to this older Bjork video. It is mesmerizing; she breaks everything apart, (images, sounds, stereotypes, eggs 😉 ),  into new “words”. Iceland has been on my mind lately, because of the news of the demise of their economy. The thought that no one would help them… Continue Reading

  • EyePet: More Virtual Object Interaction

    This was posted yesterday on Twitter, by @rebang: "Note the 2D-to-3D modeling in the Eyepet video. Everyday people being introduced to CAD.” “Eyepet: augmented reality for the masses" http://tinyurl.com/6brceg (specifically, the PS3-owning masses)

  • Funding Innovation Without the Non-profit

    I wrote this as a comment within a fascinating discussion on funding in the film and software industries, which can be found here. Is it possible to invest in something that does not have a comparable, that may be breaking new ground in terms of creating new markets? In biotech this might fit into the… Continue Reading

  • The Future of Retail, (Or What I call a Shopping Dig(g))

    I think of the future of retail as a Shopping  Dig(g), because I believe that our experience of buying stuff will soon become much more akin to an archeological dig, where unearthing meaning and culture are more actively part of the experience. I think shopping curating, (another variation of the privately directed retail experience), and… Continue Reading

  • Simple Thoughts on Paris.

    I fell asleep for just 30 seconds, as I waited for my screen to refresh, (troubles these days with my technology…). In those moments, I had a thought/image about how good it would feel to pack it all in, and move to Paris. When I began WRLDs, I researched Paris, because of their interesting approach… Continue Reading

  • 136 Years Old

      This man was said to be 136 YO. Something is interesting about a technique (here it is a form of stereoscopy using 2 GIF images), which implies 3D imagery applied to an image of a human whose life has become fragile. From CursiveBuildings, a Tumblr site by Joshua Heineman. I like the loop images, (I am looking… Continue Reading

  • Is an Online Identity the Next Form of Corporation?

    After looking further into blogging aggregators like Disqus and also services like Rapleaf, I am getting a glimpse into the future of the online identity, (id-entity..;0).  For those that do not know, this is the username you use when you login or post on a blog. There is a movement towards consolidating it with shifts towards things… Continue Reading

  • More Brillaint Towers: Again Dubai

    These towers are perhaps the most stunning towers of business I have ever observed, either in design or through experience. Every month, I read about the expansion of Dubai as a global cultural mecca. A few months ago, CNBC’s Erin Burnett, discussed the increased magnetism of Dubai as a center for experimental art. They are building towers under the… Continue Reading

  • Yes, Women are Geeks and Do Develop Social Media

    I have been asking for weeks, for a list of women who are developing Social Media, (Web 2.0) or Web 3.0, (The Semantic Web), applications. After hitting nothing but dead ends, I was starting to lose faith. Today, I had commented to Robert Scoble on FriendFeed after seeing his great interview on Sliderocket: Me: BTW Scoble,… Continue Reading
