Home

Arrived back home yesterday and the jet-lag is just about gone. I've been taking the kids to gymnastics and music lessons, helping set up the Xmas tree, cooking spaghetti, and planning to set up our son Seumas with Groove Virtual Office so he can - ahem - concentrate on his studies. While I stay in touch on a daily basis with what's happening, give him pointers etc. Yes I'll be sitting beside him at the kitchen table as well, though I do think an online space can add some value to education - anyway lets see how it goes.

Research at the Media Lab

Its unusual OK, in fact rather inspiring.

"Research at the Media Lab comprises interconnected developments in an unusual range of disciplines, such as software agents; machine understanding; how children learn; human and machine vision; audition; speech interfaces; wearable computers; affective computing; advanced interface design; tangible media; object-oriented video; interactive cinema; digital expression—from text, to graphics, to sound; and new approaches to spatial imaging, nanomedia, and nanoscale sensing."
