I just read an old paper (1992-93) entitled “Why Do Users Like Video? Studies of Multimedia-Supported Collaboration” by John C. Tang and Ellen Isaacs. The paper is long paper and reports on an investigation they did within SUN regarding different video conferencing solutions. They write many good points but one thing really stood out:
“Rather, we should strive to understand how new forms of interaction can be integrated with the existing ones into people’s day-to-day work”
Too much research in this area today is done on the technical details underneath ( that is what I got my PhD in!).

The new Pentax Optio S looks very good. It is the first ultra compact camera to have 3x optical zoom. It is about half the size of an Ixus and weights 115 g (with battery and memory). Links: DPreview, Pentax USA, CyberPhoto.
It seems like we got summer time (daylight savings time) during the night?! Is usually advertised over TV and radio for days before the event but this year I haven’t heard a beep about it. I had to go out on the net and search for confirmation (and found this that convinced me).
I was out riding my bike tonight and twice I was almost run over by a car. It is like the drivers have forgotten that there might be bikes on the bike paths so they just don’t look before crossing them. I hope that 66666-taxi got a permanent dent in the hood when I hit it with my fist!!
I hate car drivers 😉
En dag som du inte lär dig något nytt, är en förlorad dag!
