If you like to visit web pages, check on the weather, get the latest sports scores, listen to music, download podcasts, watch movies, play video games, use a GPS unit to navigate city streets, manage all your passwords, take photographs, share memories with friends, keep a calendar, take notes, read books or magazines…

What’s in your bag, Ellis Hamburger?

Have you heard? Backpacks are back! They’re stylish, functional, and full of things that communicate what kind of person you are. Here’s what kind of person I am based on things in a bag. For the most part, I like to keep things simple, paying next to nothing for things I’ll likely lose.

But this idea that we are trading the offline for the online, though it dominates how we think of the digital and the physical, is myopic. It fails to capture the plain fact that our lived reality is the result of the constant interpenetration of the online and offline. That is, we live in an augmented reality that exists at the intersection of materiality and information, physicality and digitality, bodies and technology, atoms and bits, the off and the online. It is wrong to say “IRL” to mean offline: Facebook is real life.

My animated music video for Jim Guthrie’s track “Monsters” from the soundtrack to Indie Game: The Movie. For best results, watch full screen in HD.

Jim asked a number of people to create videos for the soundtrack’s music, all of which can be seen at Proof of Something: The IGTM Video Project.

Nexus 7: how a budget Asus tablet vanished — and reemerged as Google’s Kindle Fire killer

I’d be willing to bet that most people believe Google’s Nexus 7 tablet is a wholly new design: that Google contracted Asus to produce a $199 Kindle Fire killer in just four months, like Andy Rubin and Asus chairman Jonney Shih told AllThingsD last night. The truth is far more complex. The truth is that the Nexus 7 is the Asus ME370T, an Android tablet whose destiny has repeatedly changed.

Paul Miller:

The concept of travel has nothing to do with the internet, but as I’ve traveled over the past month, I’ve found the practicalities have very much to do with the internet. I’ve been this month, for varying lengths, in California, Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, Illinois, Mexico, and now, finally, New York once again.
