<p>Google may be the top search engine in the world, and it may collect a lot of data about you if you use its email, chat, photo, or video services. Heck, even if you&#8217;ve avoided every Google product, Google probably still knows a few things about you if you&#8217;ve ever done anything that might have possibly left a trail on the web. But America&#8217;s finest news source, <a href="http://www.theonion.com/content/index">The Onion</a>, lets us know that <a href='http://www.theonion.com/content/video/google_opt_out_feature_lets_users">Google has a new service that lets you opt out</a>. All you have to do is click the opt-out button and a van will show up at your door and relocate you to a remote 22 acre village where you&#8217;ll be expected to sever all connections with the outside world.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>girl who dumped me over the phone at 1:30am &#8211; m4w</a>: &#8220;You called me at 1:30 AM to tell me over and over that you dont want to be with me any more.  The problem is, I dont know who you are, and I tried to explain that.<br />
&lt;br&gt;</p>
<p>&lt;br&gt;<br />
In retrospect, it would have been more fun to play along, but I was a bit too groggy to think fast.  Oh well, next time a wrong number breaks up with me, Ill be ready.<br />
&lt;br&gt;</p>
<p>&lt;br&gt;<br />
Give me a call if you want to practice dumping guys, I guess my numbers probably in your phone now.  Try to call before 10 though.</p>
<p>&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;ul&gt;<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A global meetup,  across all disciplines- creative, strategic, user experience based and business-minded.<br />
<a href="http://www.banffcentre.ca/programs/program.aspx?id=888<br />
">The Grounding Open Source Hardware (GOSH!) Summit</a> at <a href="http://www.banffcentre.ca/bnmi/">The Banff Centre</a> serves to bring together the many and disparate makers, producers, theorizers, and promoters of physical objects that come to life under open and distributed models. </p>
<p>(From the website) This <a href="http://www.banffcentre.ca/programs/program.aspx?id=888">Banff New Media Institute (BNMI)</a>summit highlighted and facilitated the emerging dialogue on both artist-driven and socially conscious open source hardware projects. From prosthetic limbs to electronic hardware, the breadth of open source hardware projects and distributed models of manufacturing suggest that it is time for these disparate manufacturers, designers, artists, and engineers to come together to discuss the common issues of their practices.</p>
<h4>Why it’s significant?</h4>
<p>Because it’s one of the first centralized attempts at organizing all the hackers, phd&#8217;s, artists, creatives, interaction designers, experience designers, researchers, teachers, theorists, and studencts that work in open source hardware. While open hardware practices have led to the rapid development of a multitude of varied projects, no central organizing rules or practices exists for open hardware. </p>
<p>Open hardware brings excitement, a potential for real social effects, and a lightning-fast collaborative progress to the development of physical objects, but along with these benefits come a host of complicated issues. A central goal of the conference will be to bring to light these issues, in a multidisciplinary context that encourages exchange and collaboration.</p>
<h4>Why does this matter?</h4>
<p>‘Cause these are the people that are shaping the future of media experiences- for everyone. And we need to know what they are doing. These people are the ones that are inventing the next iphone, for free, for the sheer hell of it. They probably already have. </p>
<h4>Why does this matter from a planning perspective?</h4>
<p>Because good interactive design is social, and often experiential and progressive. And because these people are breaking down barriers and creating new ways to interact with their products, creating new kinds of products and totally re-working hardward as we know it. </p>
<p>Because this conference represents a core sampling of very different people all working in different ways under the framework of open hardware. Because they are not centrally organized, intentionally? and that represents an opportunity/platform for engagement with this audience on many levels- plainly speaking it means that they need help, guidance and support. They are growing communities of makers and they have to be service oriented in the social media space. </p>
<p>Following people and conferences like this that keep me inspired to do great work. The stuff I can learn in two days from a conference like this trumps hours of research. I got a first hand sense of the future of products, and design experiences by the people that are inventing tomorrow&#8230; </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Anselm moved to Banff to work at the <a href="http://www.banffcentre.ca/bnmi/">Banff New Media Center</a>. He is the lead mobile engineer in the <a href="http://www.banffcentre.ca/bnmi/research/mobile_lab/">Advanced Mobile Research Lab</a>. The ART Mobile Lab is a research initiative created in 2005 to enable research into mobile and location-based media design, art, technology and cultures of use. In particular, they focus on media created for outdoor spaces and communities &#8211; innovative technologies, interactions, and experiences designed for remote locations from cultural heritage sites and wilderness areas to urban parks. Their primary activities include technical R&#038;D (mainly software development for mobile devices), content creation, design research, participant ethnography and audience evaluation, and mobile media outreach and training. </p>
<p>He climbed Mt. Rundle and shot this video.</p>
<p>&#8220;this was a total of 6 hours; 4 or more hours up and then 1 to 2 hours down. i found the best place to park was literally at hole #1 on the golf course below; and this is where the trail head is ( you have to walk across the edge of the green near the spray river). the first portion of the hike is easy &#8211; to the big gully &#8211; from there it gets to be quite vertical to the top of the tree line. from the top of the treeline it is bare scree and strenuous although at least you can see your goal so that helps provide a sense of time. &#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Something about this really bothers me and something about it really cracks me up. It reminds me of indie cinema- sorta psychadelic and out there, yet totally banal and cute. Like seventh grade whippets. Yeah, just like that.</p>
<p>I <em>think</em> i&#8217;m scared. But I also feel like I wanna go home and cut holes in a rug, put it on my head and imagine I have my own army.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hey everyone I am going to try hard and pick back up with my life now that <a href="http://www.pnca.edu/">school</a> is done!</p>
<p>I wanted to post some links to images from the final exhibit since I just got them.<br />
I did my final thesis work on interaction design, the cyborgian state of our existence and socio-techno interaction in daily life. I looked particularly at the impact on craft, hacktivism, art and diy movements and discussed the implications on our sense of self and identity.<br />

The abstract:</p>
<p><strong>My thesis Everyday Practical Magic </strong>brings together my research in social media, experience design, and anthropology, <br />
with my experience as a maker of material objects and hence, a facilitator of intimate exchanges <br />
between people, objects and the media. Through the work of Donna Haraway and Clay Shirky I <br />
outline the conditions of our political identity as cyborgs. I highlight the tremendous impact <br />
networked cultures (mobile and internet) have had on our understanding of social ritual. I describe <br />
three projects completed over the last four years that laid the groundwork for this paper and <br />
my thesis exhibit. <br />
Using Wittgenstein’s writings on meaning and use in his Philosophical Investigations, I point to the <br />
political power of language in shaping cultural understanding of different kinds of economies. <br />
I illustrate the work of two other like‐minded collectives; Superflex and The Center for Tactical Magic, <br />
and clarify what happens when art‐making, cultural activism, and communication technologies collide. <br />
Through Henry Jenkins’ work on Participatory Culture, I elucidate the hybridity of social <br />
media and art and describe the difference between interaction and participation. <br />
I rely on Jerry Saltz’ review of The Generational: Younger than Jesus to explain my and other millennial artists work as evidencing a trend towards anthropology, <br />
sociology and ethnography. Then I summarize the simplistic process, yet complicated context of the <br />
work I created for the Practical Everyday Objects exhibit. Finally, I  point out that art itself is a social <br />
media that emerged through use, and shapes the world around us.  </p>
