London Potpourri
I’m in London for the next week or so, working on my thesis at live|work. I’ll be doing some iterative prototyping and checking out how things work around the office. Looks like it will be pretty cool.
I’ve be helping to debug and improve the RapLeaf site before its official launch. Don’t think I can talk about it just yet, but as I’ve noted before there are some similarities to my thesis…and some big differences. It’s a big playing field and lots of interesting things still to be done.
Regine at We Make Money Not Art has posted about the reputation management service project I did with Didier for the last Applied Dreams at IDII.
Oh, and I had some fish and chips tonight.

“Whuffie is the ephemeral, reputation-based currency of Cory Doctorow’s sci-fi novel, Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom. This future history book describes a post-scarcity economy: All the necessities (and most of the luxuries) of life are free for the taking. A person’s current Whuffie is instantly viewable to anyone, as everybody has a brain-implant giving them an interface with the Net….”
