Object Trackers – Two Approaches

February 19, 2014 (July 31, 2021) Ian Kennedy

Nokia announced, the Treasure Tag, new hardware to go with their Lumia phones sporting the latest update. The tag is a small piece of hardware that communicates with the phone via bluetooth and an app on the phone that monitors proximity, alerting you when the device falls out of bluetooth range from your phone. Until […]

Back to Base

July 27, 2011 (December 4, 2021) Ian Kennedy

Today is my last day at Nokia. The great mobile adventure is over. More accurately, the need to define a mobile web as something other than the internet at large has mostly vanished. I left Yahoo for Nokia with a vision of building services to connect the social web to phones that knew more about you […]

It’s not that bad

April 27, 2011 (February 2, 2021) Ian Kennedy

The inevitable layoffs announced today at Nokia (where I work) were not as bad as expected. The trick of how to keep the Symbian development teams churning away when you’ve already announced that you’ll be ramping it down was solved by shifting a block of 3,000 employees over to Accenture where they can continue to work […]

Driving around with lasers

March 5, 2011 (June 22, 2019) Ian Kennedy

I heard about this cool project from a Nokia colleague on the Maps team using some amazing hardware used by Navteq. I promised not to blog about it but I discovered today that it was shown off last year so I guess it’s OK to talk about what’s already been reported. Apparently this was all […]

Oulu Open Hack

November 15, 2010 (June 20, 2020) Ian Kennedy

I spent a couple days last week in Oulu (a city in Northern Finland) helping out on a hackfest. For more on the what, who and why, check out my previous post (Why we Hack). This post is to thank the sponsors and share how it went. What always amazes me with these type of […]

Why We Hack

November 10, 2010 (May 4, 2020) Ian Kennedy

Reposted (with modifications) from ouluopenhack where I’ll be tomorrow. It all starts with an itch. Something that bugs you. It’s some kind of “pattern” that you identify. A manual task that you find yourself doing over and over again that you want to automate. Why is the color  printer always default to printing in black […]

Nokia N8, Big and Small

September 29, 2010 (June 22, 2019) Ian Kennedy

The promotional drumbeat grows ever louder as we get closer to the release of Nokia’s new handset, the Nokia N8. Nokia’s marketing machine is a wonder to see in action. Two promotions I thought particularly clever are both world record breakers and nicely bookend the catchphrase for the device, It’s not technology, it’s what you […]

Viral Video – Two Approaches

July 1, 2010 (March 7, 2020) Ian Kennedy

My aunt Karen is in the advertising industry and she forwards me snippets where our two industries cross paths. It’s always interesting to see something you know really well from another perspective. In this case, she sent over an article from Advertising Age, Why Microsoft Killed Kin After Just Six Weeks While the article’s conclusion […]
