There's no shame in it - he's incredibly prolific, so it's not easy to find the time.
This sort of thing = crowdsourced stuff?
Partly that, but more specifically the idea of repurposing abandoned shops and other unused urban spaces. (That link I posted on your FaceBook thread was via his blog at wiredbeyond.)
He's developed these two complementary concepts "Favela Chic" and "Gothic High Tech", which I can't do justice to in a short summary but a rough overview would be that the global corporations have become increasing vast in scale but are no longer quick or effective enough to shape the future. So all the cool, futuristic stuff is done in a rough, agile, improvised, ad-hoc manner by the general population (or at least the creative subset of it). It's all about living in the shadow of these huge, corporate undead entities and doing cool things with their byproducts (whether mobile phones and other techy things or less intentional output such as abandoned buildings, waste resources and so on).
