Such logfiles, known also as cyborglogs effortlessly capture everyday experiences. This example shows how a newsworthy event was captured serendipitously simply while walking around in day-to-day life. Cyborglogs are recordings of an activity made by a participant in the activity, in this case, a passive citizen observer, in the role of citizen passing by, but later interacting with the various people coming out of the building. This is a PNG version of the image.
