I was presenting some of my work to my research lab today - and I made a new collage of my plugfinder project. After the presentation Gabe said it was the first time he understood what plugfinder was about and why I worked on it. That was encouraging because it was also the first time I understood what plugfinder was about: open source urbanism / urban computing / ambient commons requires electricity. The quotes in this image might say it all:
Who will power the people’s ambient information environments?
&
Information wants to be free, but not if it requires electricity

zack, I was thinking about plugfinder recently when someone complained about not having power at their immediate disposal. First thought went straight to the site, the city, the map…
glad to see it’s still on the brain.
