One thing that’s very interesting to me is using this rapidly-produced thing then becomes a ’social object’: creating conversations, collecting scribbles, instigating adventures - which then get collected and redistributed. A feedback loop made out of paper, in a place.

Commissioning for Attention Part 1 - Read Me! « TEST

Matt curates some defining texts around "commissioning for attention", a lovely notion but one which perhaps nods unwittingly to the ad spam brigade.

Why the Japanese Hate the iPhone | Gadget Lab from Wired.com

Besides cultural opposition, Japanese citizens possess high, complex standards when it comes to cellphones. The country is famous for being ahead of its time when it comes to technology, and the iPhone just doesn't cut it. For example, Japanese handset users are extremely into video and photos — and the iPhone has neither a video camera nor multimedia text messaging. And a highlight feature many in Japan enjoy on their handset is a TV tuner, according to Kuittinen.

YouTube - Bloom, iPhone ambient app by Brian Eno

Chris Heathcote: anti-mega: radio on

New fangled music playing technology: ipods, last.fm make you select music to play, but radios just play. Chris says: "Radios are silence-suckers, not sound-creators". Similarly-ish, Shirky says "publish, then filter". there is something nice about the serendipitous nature of radio.
