Ethnographer’s Mobile Tools – Glif+ iPhone4S + Tripod

December 28, 2011

Who knows what Glif means? It’s certainly cool and I don’t know how long I was waiting for this product to arrive. It seems simple…. you want to mount your iPhone4 or 4s on a tripod and click or video away. For me this gets rid of carrying a Flip around too. The days of [...]

Ethnographer’s Mobile Tools – Audio Note

December 28, 2011

I’ve decided to publish a short series on mobile tools that can be adapted effectively for the ethnographers craft. Today let’s think about recording the discussion/observations.

December 28, 2011

With each advance in smartphone tech I seek to find new and easier ways to capture what I actually see in the field. I find that running a video… often doesn’t do it later when telling a story with a visual. Equally, it can be difficult to let people see things through their own lens…. [...]

Google Must Choose – Will it be Search or Android? Google mOS?

December 21, 2011

Google needs a new strategy for Android. As a brand, as a design direction and in deepening its corporate understanding of where mobile and search intersect. I started this post really wondering if Android has lost it’s way? I end it concluding that Android as a brand, or sub-brand isn’t helping Google with their long-term strategic [...]
