If you check out his <a href="http://www.ipodstories.com/">iPod Stories site</a>, the idea of an ethnographic study seeing how iPods effect people's lives is really interesting and quite legitimate research! :) Of course, it might be that <i>Wired</i> likes the buzzwords and that there was a little more to the interview. Strangely, though, if you take our the words 'iPod' and 'consumption', everything Giesler says sounds like it jumped straight out of N. Katherine Hayles' book <i>How We Became Posthuman</i>.
