Chris Martin’s Adventures in “Stranger” Mobile Media
A software company called “ecamm”:http://www.ecamm.com/ has released a piece of software called “powerboost”:http://www.ecamm.com/mac/powerboost/ that enables multi-party video chat with iChat from any g4 or g5 computer. This is a cool solution for people (like most) who don’t have Power Mac G5’s.
We’ll have to give it a try at the NMI and see how it works.

An idea I don’t want to forget:
Tom Cona, a former professor at the NMI, and now the lead Information Architect for “weather.com”:http://weather.com revisited the NMI the other day to talk to us about what it’s like to be back out in the world working with usability and web functionality again.
He was stressing how the weather […]
Streaming video to cellphones is not looking so hot in our initial tests. Evidently both my and the NMI streaming servers seem to be working generally fine streaming media to computers both on and off the UGA network. This fact tells me that the servers have plenty of upstream bandwidth to be sending out the […]
I’ve been asked to run a test to try and figure out where the NMI qt server works and where it doesn’t. The idea is that the UGA network that the server is on is somehow killing the bandwidth of streams coming in and out. Below you will see 2 videos, one is hosted on […]
“The Presidents of the United States of America”:http://www.presidentsrock.com/ have released a “music video”:http://www.presidentsrock.com/news/archive.php?entry=116 filmed using “sony ericsson”:http://www.sonyericsson.com cellphones. Not only is this some extreme new media, but the song is pretty good too.
This concept is a little backwards from what I’m normally doing… trying to get video _on to_ mobile devices.
There was really only one […]
There’s a new how to in the “How To” section. It describes the process of capturing a screenshot on a Nokia Series 60 phone. “Check it out”:http://nmi.roundhere.net/?page_id=32
I was going through my old nmi work, and I found this web mockup I made of my project last semester. I’m not sure it all works, but I think it’s pertty cool. If you come upon something wrong with it, gimme a comment and I’ll fix it.

*Project Proposal*
*Introduction*
Wouldn’t it be cool if all it took to get on the JumboTron at the next football game was to pull out your cell phone and snap a photo?
There’s nothing like the excitement in the stands during a University of Georgia football game. The intensity of the game on the field is amplified by […]
You may have noticed that Mobile Media Adventures looks a little different. I’ve updated my “wordpress”:http://wordpress.org install in order to use “K2″:http://binarybonsai.com/k2/, a wordpress modification by “Chris J Davis”:http://www.chrisjdavis.org/. K2 brings some enhancements including livesearch and some really fancy “AJAX”:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AJAX action when you post comments.
What’s all this mean? - not much… except that the site […]
Little big screen is a project that I’m working on here in the NMI that enables fans at a sporting event (or any event) to take pictures with their camera phone, send them to pic@uga.edu, and let magical things happen. Right now the goal is to have fan’s pictures appear on the Jumbo-Tron at a […]
