Hey Zander, yeah, the nano isnt that cool, but neither are the motorola phones with the hard to use UIs and phone speakers that aren't loud enough to be used outdoors.

Campus Panoramas
For the first day of the immersive section in CTIN 541, we broke up in small groups and took photos around campus. The pictures I took with Matt, and Ken didn't quite line up making for a painful photoshop exercise. Below are photos stitched together with Arcsoft's Panorama Maker 3.5.

Half a billion dollars to start an MVNO? well there goes my half baked idea of having a USC branded wireless service for the interactive folks to develop on.

Pop-up books: I have very fond memories of this interactive medium. Did a search on the books mentioned in the article...they look way better than what I used to read.

Nokia's cheapest phone is a flip phone. Is the idea to make flip phones synonymous with the low end, and undermine the status of Motorola icons?

"The service will feature 8 Mbit/s of DSL2+ broadband bundled with unlimited calling for around $70." Wondering if this or Verizon's Fios (15Mbit/sec for $50) will show up at my curb anytime soon.

I bought a Nintendo DS
I picked up a blue DS the other day. I wanted to check out Nintendogs, and figured I could also use it analyze Warioware Inc. for the Design for Interactive Media assignment. The red one I ordered on eBay never showed up.
The last games I really played were Starcraft and Counterstrike...only in multiplayer mode.
I haven't purchased a game console since the Sega Genesis.
I was addicted to Descent and Doom back in the day.
The last time I picked up a video game controller was for a multiplayer game of Halo.
I haven't played single player since 8 bit Nntendo days, and Tetris was the only single player game I didn't lose in interest within a week of playing.
Though it could use a redesign, there is something about the various control options (touchscreen, voice, gamepad, accelerometers) on the Nintendo DS that is really appealing.
