Here's the URL to the online article: http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/13.01/perimeter.html?tw=wn_tophead_5 I might be interested in working on something like this and will talk to you about it at WLU............Alex Kuskis

Dear Friends-
I in the process of conceiving a major research project on the Blackberry as metonym for mobile Internet communication. This wil be a multi-dimensional project, involving research into the the development of the Blackberry, the insitutional culture of production at Research in Motion (based here in Waterloo, Ontario--how is that for convenience), advertising and marketing strategies, intellectual property issues,, and ethnographies of the Blackberry in everyday life. What I have mind is a comprehensive cultural analysis of the Blackberry like Paul Du Gay and his collaboraties did for the Walkman in the DOING CULTURAL STUDIES series.
