This book looks interesting, a look at what it means to do interaction design for the mobile platform. I’ve read the first chapter. The style is slightly academic and the approach is quite comprehensive.
Random brick writings
An awesome random phenomenon in Woerden, the Netherlands: Just after moving into his new villa, André van Zuilen noticed the word “dick” on the front of his house. An act of vandalism by a disgruntled construction worker or coincidence*?
Original article in Dutch over at AD.nl. Via Edwin.
- We all know there’s no such thing as a coincidence right?

A rather clueless piece by Newsweek on web 2.0. This is a good reminder of the fact that what makes sense to the average technologist is still far from mainstream thinking.
Een internet der dingen (open.info.nl)
“De web 2.0-hype een beetje beu? Moe van het bijhouden van alle start-ups die als paddestoelen uit de grond blijven schieten? Maak je borst maar nat, want er volgt spoedig (weer) iets nieuws. Niet web 3.0 (het web-OS), maar iets écht nieuws: het internet der dingen Parallel aan al het social software-geweld en de semantische web-discussies doen interactieve media al enige tijd moedige pogingen om de sprong van bits naar atomen te maken. Dit veld wordt gedomineerd door een wirwar aan termen, zoals: “tangible computing” (populair gemaakt door Nokia-researcher Chris Heathcote), “ubiquitous computing” (vaak afgekort tot het onooglijke “ubicomp”), “everyware” (een vrij nieuwe term) en lastpakken als “blogjects” en “spimes” (bedankt Bruce Sterling). Mijn voorkeur gaat uit naar “internet of things”, getuige de titel van deze post.”
