First and Foremost is I finally got a hold of Steve Mann!!!<\/p>\n<p><font size=\"1\"><font color=\"white\">From: Steve Mann<br \/>\nDate: October 23, 2007 3:51:39 PM EDT (CA)<br \/>\nSubject: Cyborg; Intelligent Image Processing, etc..<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"1\"><font color=\"white\">Thank you for your interest in my work and writings<br \/>\n(it&#8217;s great that you found Cyborg to be of interest;<br \/>\nthere&#8217;s some metadata in http:\/\/wearcam.org\/cyborg.htm)<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"1\"><font color=\"white\">In reference to Kodak Lecture series&#8230; I gave a Kodak<br \/>\nLecture at Ryerson some years ago (I&#8217;m not sure if<br \/>\nthere&#8217;s any video of the lecture around Ryerson, but<br \/>\nmaybe you can find it if there is&#8230;).<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"1\"><font color=\"white\">Since you&#8217;re also looking at specific implementation<br \/>\ndetails you might find my other book,<br \/>\nhttp:\/\/wearcam.org\/textbook.htm<br \/>\nto be of interest as well&#8230;<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"1\"><font color=\"white\">Additionally, Google search on &#8220;sousveillance&#8221;<br \/>\nwill give you some updates on recent work on<br \/>\nsurveillance and sousveillance and the relation<br \/>\nbetween them, etc..<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"1\"><font color=\"white\">You might also want to join our community of more<br \/>\nthan 20,000 &#8220;cyborgs&#8221; at http:\/\/glogger.mobi<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"1\"><font color=\"white\">Easiest way, if you don&#8217;t have a wearable cameraphone<br \/>\n(EyeTap, http:\/\/eyetap.org) yet is to join using a<br \/>\nstandard hand-held cameraphone, so you get an idea<br \/>\nwhat the lifestyle is like, etc..<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"1\"><font color=\"white\">There&#8217;s various other papers, like:<br \/>\nhttp:\/\/wearcam.org\/smart_clothing\/<br \/>\nand<br \/>\nhttp:\/\/wearcam.org\/hi<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"1\"><font color=\"white\">which may be of interest.<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"1\"><font color=\"white\">Maybe we can do an interview over &#8216;glogger (over cyborgspace),<br \/>\nas participation in &#8216;glogger is a new and interesting way<br \/>\nof interacting.<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"1\"><font color=\"white\">Quite different from a phone interview;<br \/>\nmore existential in some sense.<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"1\"><font color=\"white\">Another good contact at Rye is ANV (Anastasios<br \/>\nVenetsanopoulos).  He&#8217;s a real genius polymath<br \/>\ntype, with a strong interest in imaging as well<br \/>\nas fine-arts and fundamental philosophical<br \/>\nquestions in the fine-arts.<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"1\"><font color=\"white\">Best regards,<br \/>\n&#8211;Steve <\/font><\/font><\/p>\n<p>So that was really exciting, I then went on to set-up a meeting with Steve<br \/>\n<font color=\"white\" size=\"1\"> Brandon,<br \/>\nI&#8217;m away, and I&#8217;ll also soon be away from email (unreachable)<br \/>\nbut I&#8217;ll still be checking my &#8216;glog (http:\/\/glogger.mobi)<br \/>\nso you can continue to reach me through the &#8216;glog.<\/font><\/p>\n<p><font color=\"white\" size=\"1\">Meanwhile, if you need to interview someone immediately,<br \/>\nRaymond Lo, one of my students, might be able to be<br \/>\ninterviewed and could explain &#8216;glogger and our cyborglogging<br \/>\nefforts.<\/font><\/p>\n<p><font color=\"white\" size=\"1\">Best regards,<br \/>\nSteve<br \/>\n<\/font><br \/>\nSo yeah, that&#8217;s about where I am with that. I am trying to set up a meeting with Raymond and see where I can go from there. I will have to draw up a list of questions and hopefully between Raymond and Steve I can get enough ideas and experience to move forward with my project and presentation.<\/p>\n<p>Secondly as just as exciting was that on Wednesday I met with my Artist\/Illustrator friend Kent Burles. He has worked on a number of Sci-fi and Fantasy roleplaying games and he is helping me visualize my project with some illustrations. We talked about what my project is about, how it works and the influences behind it. He will be a great addition to add the element of fantasy into my project, whereas other sources have been mostly mainly artistic and scientific.<\/p>\n<p>I can&#8217;t wait to see what he comes up with!<\/p>\n<p>I also met with Lila and she thought my Proposal was fairly well done, just that I should update it with more positive language and make a few corrections.<\/p>\n<p>So overall a very productive week! I want to get rolling on my Prototype soon, so hopefully Sony-Ericsson will come through with a few phones I can have to experiment with. I have been in touch with the Ericsson Montreal office and they have put me in touch with the Sony-Ericsson office here in Toronto.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was so busy last week that I didn&#8217;t really have time to update the ole&#8217; project blog.
