A film (18 minutes) that captures a huge amount of what it is that I do, what I've tried and failed to describe to people. It's the best version of this I've yet seen, capturing the ideas of people-centric, networked, social, interactive, layered. All the things I've been flailing around trying to say for years.

I particularly like the bit around 10:30 where Jonas Lowgren describes the core idea of my Ph.D. thesis. I continue to love living in the future and that I may yet live to see stuff that was wild-ass impossible ideas in 1998 become accepted reality.

The 'footsteps of your friends' thing? That was the moment in the video where I thought "oh, cool!"

Yes. My thesis was titled in part "Footprints" and dealt with precisely that kind of passive trace information for social navigation.
