    I gave a talk this year, along with my co-panelist Pepper Mint. It went very well and was I think pretty informative for the audience, though of course some said, oh, we all know this already.  –It was about how technology and the internet have been intertwined with the emergence of a polyamorous community, which…

    Finally upgraded the WordPress Installation and am now tinkering with the theme. More soon. 🙂 Some of the things that look like they can be edited in the Theme Options page seem not to be changeable.  Time to mess with the templates… Wheee!

    Missed the first speaker–my stupid business center could not print my slides…. 😛 2 Jennifer Buckner spoke about using Pownce in her class.  She analyzed her own interactions with students and in particular the way she teetered between speaking personally and speaking as teacher.  I notice again how little Comp. and and Internet Research are…

    Well, slowly getting the blog sorted, but it’s more time-consuming than I thought. Also more interesting. I can see how tinkering with this stuff could become a real time-sink! Plus, importing from Blogger changed all the tags into categories, so I have to go through and decide which should go back to being tags (most…

    Good conference so far– seen all interesting talks, but still so so jet-lagged. Really wish I could have come a day earlier to get more rest before it all started. Also, all European colleagues seem to have lighter workloads and more travel funding than I do… I recorded the audio of our panel; will edit…

    Now, I am aware the Creative Commons Licenses are seen as problematic by some people in the FLOSS scene. Having said that, I think it is outrageous when someone uses a fairly generous flavor of the CC license, and still gets ripped off by someone else who refuses to listen when notified that they are…

    Goth Morris Dancers Originally uploaded by cuuixsilver I also went to Folsom Street Fair where there were Goth Morris Dancers. –That’s why I went, of course. Isn’t that what brings most people? 😉 More on the fair later… And note that neither the other pictures on my Flickr set for the fair, nor the fair’s…

    Node Mode by Danja Vassiliev Originally uploaded by cuuixsilver Another great project was Node Mode which consisted of a computer that created a network, a mechanical device made of 28 cd drives that would open and close via a web interface, and a camera mounted on the device that sent pictures of the open cd…

    Playsureveillance Originally uploaded by cuuixsilver One of the coolest of the projects I saw at the Piet Zwart graduation show was Playsureveillance by Gordan Savicic. There are several simple games that as you play, collect data about the user and post it to a Facebook page, including sexual orientation and dating interests. A great comment…
