So my new thing is to design or make digital products with a Post-it premise; that is, a simple, single-function device.

The objective has to be written in seven words. Ideally the technology exists… no custom programming for me!

I’ll be the next digital MacGyver. (Gen Y? Google it.)

Kevin Slavin presenting “This Platform Called Everyday Life”… another digital/real integration theme… I like the experience at 26:00 where people are in a real pacman-like game and running away from a virtual baddie… shows the map that helped people discover the cause of cholera… things are easier now to plot now large-scale and real-time…

I love the interplay of real world and web. Real world does seem more magical, even the simplist things, when derived from 1s and 0s.

I also like the element of play, the projects on the side… to make yourself laugh. Figure things out. Give to a friend. The best things are often made this way.
