I am now a Research Fellow in the Mobile Interactive Media & Entertainment Lab at the National University of Singapore.

I'll be taking my viva on 19 February 2010 at the University of Glasgow and perhaps then I'll become a full Doctor...

Here are some things I would like Ubicomp to achieve:

1. The new tool should be cheaper than the one it replaces.
2. It should be at least as small in scale as the one it replaces.
3. It should do work that is clearly and demonstrably better than the one it replaces.
4. It should use less energy than the one it replaces.
5. If possible, it should use some form of solar energy, such as that of the body.
6. It should be repairable by a person of ordinary intelligence, provided that he or she has the necessary tools.
7. It should be purchasable and repairable as near to home as possible.
8. It should come from a small, privately owned shop or store that will take it back for maintenance and repair.
9. It should not replace or disrupt anything good that already exists, and this includes family and community relationships.
