pasta + vinegar faq 2006
Quick notes for readers who are puzzled by this blog:
- This blog is about various things that I ran across and that I find relevant with regards to my interests.
- My interests ranges from human-computer interaction/ergonomics/cognitive sciences (psychology mostly)/user-centered design/interaction design to innovation management/research and development issues/intelligence/insight and foresight/Ideas transfer from R&D, but also architecture (be in interactive or not), interactive art, space and place issues, life hacks, curious things, quirkies
- There is a strong weight of posts about technology since my work and my interests are related to how people use technology in various context such as working, playing or learning. That’s why I am dealing with pervasive/tangible/ubiquitous computing, video games, groupware, location-bases services, web2.0, the Internet of things… For of all those, how the technology is or can be used is more important than the techno itself.
- It’s about what I stumble across while working (as a researcher doing a PhD but also a researcher working for video game companies)
- I also post about what I do: paper I published, conference or workshop I attend/organize
- There is a wide load of posts about location-based services/geolocation/mobile devices because my PhD project is about this very topic.
- And last but not least, yes there are weird things in what I post… I am intrigued by weird things
Oh and finally, yes, 2006 will still be about all this stuff.

Absolutely! That curiosity/humor is an essential component for all the other things you do, don’t you think? I identify with the fascination-for-the-weird; I share it myself, but I firmly believe (and I bet this is true for many bloggers) that it ties to an awareness of the other things we’re trying to pay attention to and tell stories about.

I fully agree with you Steve. I really like William Gibson’s quote “The future is already here, it’s just unevenly distributed” for that matter!
