In today’s NYTimes — an article about Vollis Simpson discusses his past, his hands, and his art.
Kelly and I commissioned 16 whirligigs from Vollis for our wedding in 2008; 15 tabletop whirligigs for our wedding party and immediate family members, and one larger “bike wheel” for ourselves.
You can see our order for the bicycle wheel [...]
Tagged nytimes, vollis simpson, wedding, whirligigsI just read the most plausible of law review papers suggesting the potential for protection of a private space within social network sites (SNS). Fellow UNC grad student Woodrow Hartzog proposes the use of Promissory Estoppel as a means to protect self-disclosure in online communities. It would create a type of contract or [...]

Please make sure to watch this movie when you get a chance.
It’s opening theatrically in NYC this Friday for the first time. I saw the film at Social Web FooCamp in April, met and spoke with Ondi and Josh, and had [...]

The recent and ongoing story that is the Iranian Election of 2009 has brought to the fore a variety of social media and 21st century technology issues.
We’ve seen CNN get slammed (via the #CNNFail hashtag on Twitter) for not doing a timely job of covering the nascent election results and ensuing reaction on the ground.
We’ve [...]
So here’s something I’m not quite used to (yet?).
Eugene Eric Kim has written a wonderful post on the Blue Oxen Associates blog about his use of my ideas around Contextual Authority Tagging in his work with organizations regarding reproductive health.
Terrell’s premise is that reputation in context can be extremely valuable, often more valuable than what [...]
I’ve been in the library a lot in the last few weeks, but just managed to remember booking some flights for upcoming fun stuff on the west coast.
Social Web FooCamp
In only a couple weeks (gah, how’d that happen…) I’ll head back to the Social Web FooCamp. This is a great honor to be invited [...]
Two weeks ago the 2009 iConference was held at the Friday Center here in Chapel Hill, NC. There were lots of great posters and papers and hallway discussions.
Jacob and I presented our poster and have since posted it online over at dlist.
We ran a Mechanical Turk study with over 2000 responses to help determine [...]
I spent the past week in Denver, CO at the ALISE annual conference. There were many nervous PhD students interviewing for faculty positions – but I was not one of them – still have a ways to go.
On Thursday, I presented the third paper to come out of the MPACT project, where we propose [...]
I’ve often wondered about family photo albums. We store images and memories for later (for us, for others, for our children and their children).
