   Taylor, I definitely agree with what you said.

   I think it's too easy to fall into the trap of letting facebook, twitter, flickr, and other online sites become the primary focus of our lives. I think those tools are useful, but provided that we incorporate them into the “real world” somehow.

   Thank you; as a note, I think online is part of the “real world”; the opportunity is to figure out how to combine the online and offline so that we no longer feel the need define “online lives” as completely separate from the offline.

    [...] Examples? Off the top of my head, FitBit, Nike + iPod’s Nikeplus and Google PowerMeter come to mind. Remember at the end of the day it’s about combining the online and offline worlds; if we’re only focused on the online world, then we’re not thinking big enough. [...]

    This is the kind of ethos / exploring / thinking I respect.

    Interesting comments on engaging the physical world with mobile devices, from Matt Jones of Dopplr: http://bit.ly/13n0cw

    “We should be an embodied person in the world rather than a disembodied finger tickling a screen walking down the street. We need to unfold and unpack the screen into the world.”

    fantastic quote, summarizes perfectly my thoughts around the many ways
    we use mobile devices, serving the device rather than ourselves,
    beholden to what they do rather than how they impact our lives.
    awesome.

    activities (in this case, running):
