I’ve been asked to sum up the “flow” of my SXSW talk, “Creating A Mobile Wallet Worth Having,” into a handful of bullets for those people who want to be able to share the logic, without having to explain Michael Jackson or any of the other stories…

I’ve attempted to do so below. This is what was intended, but if you took something else away from the talk and slides, hit me back with some feedback, and let’s discuss!

Finance and Happiness are intimately related
A mobile wallet introduces a personal, networked, sensor-laden computational capability into this relationship
Humanity is disadvantaged when interacting with finance, because the mind is disadvantaged
We must build software differently: create raw capability to advantage humanity in finance, with mechanisms that impact our unconscious resources (agent logic)
Mathematical models of finance and behavior are the cornerstone to a system that can provide some of this new raw capability
A mobile wallet that leverages agent logic and financial modeling could become an active participant in helping to secure positive financial outcomes
Such a wallet would enable consumers and software to experiment with possible financial outcomes and create alternatives – “counterfactual testing”
If these alternatives and outcomes could be shared securely, in a shared financial object, users could learn from one another, increasing the likelihood of financial happiness

ok…so almost everyone who has expressed an interest in the “Creating A Mobile Wallet Worth Having” talk I did at SXSW, has asked when the audio would be ready.

It’s ready now. Just click and enjoy.

I’m really astonished that we’ve gotten over 900 views of this deck in the last 3 weeks…wow!

this was the world’s intro to Liquid UX - a conceit in mobile development for the delivery of services across multiple platforms in a manner that appears seamless to the user

the deck also addresses the mechanism that enables this kind of user experience: a user’s Context

@madfu @ SXSW 2011 - tasty audio goodness

we’ll start simple…the audio from my Liquid UX talk at SXSW this year…

i’ve given this talk a couple of times since, most recently with my colleague @justdesi at the Grace Hopper Celebration in Portland.

in a nutshell, the talk focuses on what we product makers should be building in our mobile solutions: fluid, cross-platform experiences and context sensitivity

south-by was good enough to record the proceedings, so enjoy with this abridged deck (had to remove the pics, ‘cause I own no copyrights)

first post…

not much for blogging, but i sometimes run my mouth publicly.

for some who have witnessed the running mouth, a desire is kindled to again witness the ideas, ambitions, prognostications and opinions expressed by the mouth.

hence, the tumblr - a salve to satisfy a kindled desire.

be kind.
