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). For those of you who've followed my blog, you'll know something of what to expect, except that I'll be strictly framing up ...

I delivered a lecture today for my 200 level Communication class on "Copyright, Commerce, and the Creative Commons". It might need work around its rougher edges still, but I'm kinda modestly proud to have gotten it into the shape it's in now. The emphasis is on (1) the historicization of ...

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 ...

Clicknoise will be held incommunicado by graduate studies deadlines and a big residential move (happening this week). Posts will be sporadic if at all until I can resume regular postings, estimated sometime in the week of April 9-13, when the shit hits the fan.

Wow. I've just finished moving all of my sites (including Clicknoise) to a new host, I've upgraded Wordpress, and judging by the results these were the correct things to do. The latest version of Wordpress is slick in Safari. Finally I'm no longer relegated to hand-coding my HTML in my ...

Well, 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 ...
