One of the most interesting workshops I followed in 2004 was the W3C “Mobile Web Initiative” Workshop in Barcelona. I learned about managing the complexity in technology innovation between different mobile value chain players and collaboration processes in order to define standards that suits all.

Wondering Wii?
After I wrote Blurred, I kept thinking about Wii, as the device changes our perspective on the virtual, which is no longer synonymous of immobility.

A great and surprising Open Letter by Steve, certainly with a strategy behind, […]
