143 hours and four ink pens.
I just finished a freehand ink pen drawing on a 70x100cm paper. I've been working on it for 5 weeks, 143 hours in total.

Angry Octopus Comics
My daughter, almost 8 years old, decided to create a webcomic as one of her summer projects. The premise: an octopus who always ends up angry. After having her pitch several strip ideas, we decided updating twice weekly for the summer made sense. She creates some art, I doodle a bit, then stitch everything together in Photoshop. We'll experiment with different methods (chalk, collage, maybe LEGO) throughout the summer.

Everyware: The dawning age of ubiquitous computing
My first book!
It's about ubiquitous computing - a post-PC paradigm for computing in which information processing systems are deployed everywhere around us, all but imperceptibly.
This means things like smart buildings, smart furniture, smart clothing...even smart bathtubs. Networked street signs and self-describing soda cans. Gestural interfaces like those seen in "Minority Report." The RFID tags now embedded in everything from credit cards to the family pet. Even entire cities, like Korea's New Songdo, designed from the ground up to integrate all of these systems.
I ask how these systems might change us, and how we might shape them to our benefit. I've tried to keep the book accessible and nontechnical; it's pitched to the smart generalist who's interested in understanding how "information processing dissolving in behavior" is already reshaping our lives, transforming our understanding of the cities we live in, the communities we belong to - and the way we see ourselves.
I'll be giving away a few copies when I give a talk on the book at SXSW in Austin on March 12th, but it's also available for order on Amazon right now at the above link. Enjoy!
