urban computing

At last it can be revealed…

I will be a special guest at Adam Greenfield's talk at Cooper Union tonight, The City is Here for You to Use. Adam is a promising young thinker who will be working closely with the Netlab and AUDC on upcoming projects this year. If it's not too late and if you're in the area, I urge you to attend. As Adam writes:

If you’re at all interested in the texture of big city life, the evolution of post-PC computing, and how they might shape and inform each other, you don’t want to miss this.

Video and audio of many of the lectures from the Architecture and Situated Technologies symposium put together by Omar Khan, Mark Shepard, and Trebor Scholz at the Architectural League this fall is now online at the symposium site.

My own talk, "Almost Nothing: Two Ways to Program Things" can be found here.

I am happy with the way the podcast turned out and am thinking about putting together more podcasts on this site this year, including perhaps an entire course or two this spring.
