Happy New Year! In this very special episode we are joined by Tiernan Mines Co-Founder of Hello Lamp Post, in the first of our interview series! Tiernan and his company Hello Lamp Post strive to make cities, municipalities, and other hyper-local organizations smarter and more playable by providing a thin digital layer to existing physical objects such as a lamp post, a park bench, a statue, a building, or really any item you can imagine. Now these objects have a personality you can interact with via SMS. We cover civic engagement, natural language processing, augmented reality, UK bin collection, the Nintendo Switch and much much more! Write to us at devnullpodcast@protonmail.com
