Post-digital media design, our panel at SXSW on Tuesday
A quick note for any readers currently in Austin, myself and an awesome cast of many (Molly, Mike, James, Ben) will be talking about post-digital media design on Tuesday at 3.30pm in Hilton H. I promise – little theory, lots of real examples, prototypes and experiments. Not only that, but...
I should save this for another project, but I love it too much to wait. I came upon a curious little book called In Your Stride by A.B. Austin (1931, Country Life), not so much a walking guide, as a guide to a walking life, with hints about where and...
The ChatRoulette phenomenon is fascinating (seriously NSFW and not for the gentle, if you don’t know what it is) partly because it’s dragged niche and less salubrious corners of the Internet into the glare and use of the mass-market. I personally don’t understand the appeal, either exhibitionism or talking to...
Under the M3: Under the M4: Under the M25: ...
I’ve been playing with Mapumental a bit, as it’s a front end to an awful lot of data, particularly public transport. I’ve been creating maps of how far you can travel in an hour for a few places: 1 hour from EC2: 1 hour from SW11: 1 hour from W9: But the maps only...

I’m hanging out at SXSW this weekend with the winners from the WOM World Nokia video contest. The thousands of people who entered the convention center received a bag of goodies. Among the swag was a card-sized ad for Symbian with a nice little remark against the iPhone. Take a...
Video How to: Use Bookmarklets on the Nokia N900’s Browser
Bookmarklets are bookmarks in the browser designed to add one-click functionality to a web page. On our desktops, we save bookmarklets by dragging a links to to our browser’s toolbar. It’s different on mobile devices. I checked the Nokia N900, Nexus One, iPhone, and the Nokia N97 mini and noticed...
Must-Have App: Maps Booster by Skyhook Wireless
My Nokia phones need to find my position accurately and quickly since I use location services like geotagging photos, checking-in on Foursquare, or navigating with Ovi maps. Fortunately there’s a revolutionary app called Maps Booster that helps your Symbian phone find your location really fast no matter what other applications...

Dear Nokia, Mark should go to SXSW because… #nokiacomp

Skype Excluded from Ovi Store in the US Because of Verizon Deal
When I couldn’t find Skype for Symbian at the Ovi Store here in the US after the announcement, I thought there was probably a temporary delay. However, a Skype representative told Venturebeat that the app was intentionally excluded to drive more attention to a recent deal with Verizon Wireless. Read...

Five Games Actually Worth Playing on the N900
The N900 hasn’t exactly been a gaming powerhouse – just check out the Ovi Store, where there’s a total of ten games for download. That number includes both free and paid, and doesn’t look likely to change any time in the future. Fortunately, there’s some decent games to be had...
Should you use Firefox Mobile or the stock N900 MicroB browser? [A Comparison]
There’s a browser war going on, but it’s not the typical IE vs. Firefox series of battles. No, on the N900 it’s Mozilla vs. Mozilla, brother vs. brother, with the stock MicroB browser on one side and the latest Firefox Mobile 1.0 on the other. Which one is better? It’s...

Nokia: Ovi Maps Now Free, a “Game-changing Move”
