Cory Doctorow Leonardo Lecture at SFU
Friday, March 9th, 2007The Faculty of Applied Sciences at SFU warmly welcomed Cory Doctorow to deliver our Leonardo Lecture for 2007 (entitled "The Totalitarian Urge: total information awareness and the cosmic billiards"). It was a packed event, and a great speech (the same one he's been delivering elsewhere of late). Ivaniv at Blogaholics ...
AOpenIDL
Monday, February 19th, 2007I haven't posted about OpenID in some time. Not surprising, considering the weight I've had to give to DRM, indie music, and related business, because of things like this occuring on a more-than-daily basis in recent weeks. Anyway, there's some big news in the area of decentralized identification systems. ...
Vancouver city-wide wi-fi
Thursday, February 15th, 2007Just as I was checking my links in my last post I noticed that BoingBoing has taken an interest in the provincial attitudes about wifi (Globe & Mail, subscription required) among Vancouver's city police. Here are a few links for more information related to the implementation of municipal wi-fi as ...

Flesh Mobs
Wednesday, February 7th, 2007I've been fine tuning a report on mobile user experience research I worked on last Fall for Mobile Muse, and so I've been trolling around today for any and all articles on flash mobs and other electronically coordinated uses of public space. Most of this material isn't related at all ...
Give Me Last.fm And I Will Raise The World
Thursday, January 18th, 2007I'm slogging through a deferred paper for a seminar last semester - ungh. But here's a post to kill two birds with one stone - (1a) force my ideas into something concrete via publishing (and all its accompanying dangers) while (1b) breaking my 2007 blogging procrastination cherry. No way I ...
In-between Days
Saturday, December 16th, 2006Well, in-between-projects, anyway. I’ve just finished a couple of projects off (grading, my contribs to a research report, a philosophy term paper) and I have a few more (another term paper, two journal articles) due between now and January 15, but today I can breathe long enough to cast a ...
so much depends upon
Tuesday, November 7th, 2006I've been doing some preliminary musing on user experience research that I'm involved in over at Mobile Muse, and I thought this might be the appropriate space to expand on my interpretations of mobile phone use in ways that attach more directly to the issues I talk about in this ...
upgrade. facelift. adsense.
Saturday, August 19th, 2006This blog was begging for a readability facelift, but I'm stubbornly minimalist about my little corner of the web, so I've switched from one minimal theme (barecity) to another (veryplaintxt). Plus, I've finally upgraded Wordpress to 2.04 and in so doing I've made some old widgets functional once more. I'm ...
