A note to potential readers: Written to a certain form of completion, this book should be read with a spirit of desire coupled with light refreshments and good air. With this, you can try to avoid getting bit by the mystic bug, but not mosquitoes, chiggers or ants. Examples of such scenarios include a bus bench in an altered state, at home with a stray cat or dog, or in a quiet solitude to remember the light and more of it is what really matters. This is my third collection of poetry. All attempts at doing otherwise have been dismissed by the universe in a stereotypical fashion (in addition to having a rather steep day rate). Expenses were accrued but reimbursed.

This book looks at why ethnographic approaches are popular in the design of computing devices for the workplace, for the home and elsewhere. The focus of the book is on the practical relationship between theory and practice, a relationship that is fundamental to successful design.
