and confusing the hell out of porn-bots everywhere, to be sure, with a title like that. shortish entry about my current doings, which are actually getting pretty interesting, at least for me. that's the 'bucking' part, where I surprise you all by switching off the automatic Tweet updates and instead ...

in half-assed fashion I am blipping the past month of activity in short sentences, sans links, even. much time in books, but not as much as I need. Loving Foucault's The Order of Things as much as Becker's Art Worlds, but the comps are being subdivided due to massive contraction ...

If you haven't seen this already, then go check it out. Terse political opinions fly by with impunity. What to do, what to do...and how does media theory speak to this? I can anticipate hundreds of approaches, from critical political economy to social constructivism to what-have-you ... but then again, ...

I exercise 5 days a week, and much of this is running. While I can be found in local gyms on occasion, I try to do as much of this running as possible for free. For in using a treadmill, with its diligent, brainless constancy, I subjugate my running activity ...

I had the opportunity last week to present my ongoing research into user-centered technology design (which is what is evolving out of my ethnographic research in the lives of mobile handset users) as part of a panel all about Mobile Muse (where I'm the Program Manager, for those who aren't ...

Hey. I'm digging my head out from under a tense, transitional semester of research, teaching and baby-raising. I'm working directly in mobile media now, in a new job at Mobile Muse 3 (so expect more posts in this sorter space as we go). On that note, you can see a ...

Heya. I am presenting in a panel at AOIR this year (the title of my presentation/paper is "The Technical Micropolitics of the Online Music Industry, 1997-2007", abstract here).

Just a heads up in case you were expecting an entry here. Things are a little more noise than click of late, but blissfully so. We brought our daughter Isabel into this world just over a week ago. Here's proof:
I'll return to regular blogging shortly, when the little boss permits ...

This blog launched exactly one year ago. And it's still here. Hooray. Unlike zefrank, it's not ending. 12 months is still below average compared to the 33.8 month average lifespan of the Top 100 blogs. Of course, stats like this are still unreliable indicators - remember that we're only just ...
