Purring Kitty is an interesting-looking bit of software that’ll get your Nokia phone vibrating for as long as you like. Easily bought by SMS from within the UK, but it’s more expensive and more complicated from other countries. I like the idea, but I’m more interested in getting one of these, to be honest. And it won’t support Purring Kitty. How boring of me, huh? (via Wired, via Jane, who has used a game accessory in a similar manner)

In 2022 I learned about FAIR data, the movement to make research data Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reproducible. One of UiB’s brilliant research librarians, Jenny Ostrup, patiently helped me make the dataset from the Machine Vision project FAIR in 2022 – I wrote a little bit about that in my […]
Thanks to everyone who came to the triple book talk of three recent books on machine vision by James Dobson, Jussi Parikka and me, and thanks for excellent questions. Several people have emailed to asked if we recorded it, and yes we did! Here you go! James and Jussi’s books […]
Finally I can share what I’ve been working on! I absolutely loved writing this book, taking the time to dig deep into histories, ideas and theories that I think really help understand how machine vision technologies like facial recognition and image generation are impacting us today. I wanted the book […]

The Forum is a recently launched initiative from OpenAI that is meant to be “a community designed to unite thoughtful contributors from a diverse array of backgrounds, skill sets, and domain expertise to enable […]
I’m thrilled to announce another publication from our European Research Council (ERC)-funded research project on Machine Vision: Gabriele de Setaand Anya Shchetvina‘s paper analysing how Chinese AI companies visually present machine vision technologies. They find that the Chinese machine vision imaginary is global, blue and competitive. De Seta, Gabriele, and Anya Shchetvina. “Imagining Machine […]
Whenever I give talks about ChatGPT and LLMs, whether to ninth graders, businesses or journalists, I meet people who are hungry for information, who really want to understand this new technology. I’ve interpreted this as interest and a need to understand – but yesterday, Eirik Solheim said that every time […]

I too want the P800! Maybe we should write a grant proposal on mobile blogging, which includes money for two P800s?

Yes, I know! I commented on the “boring” part of the post, but the rest I feel less secure about saying anything about, so I wont:-)

Why do you want to blog with *this* phone, rather than a Treo? Just curious…..
Jill
I don’t think they sell Treos in Europe? Or am I just out of touch? And though the idea of combining a Palm and a phone like the Treo does is brilliant, I’m hankering for the Sony Ericsson P800 because it also has a camera and an mp3-player and can record a bit of sound. I would *love* to have a camera with me all the time – and I hate having dozens of devices. And I like the idea of playing with mobility, sound, images and blogging…
