  1. @mjheying With Internet it's about ensuring affordable access (not making it free)--mostly for remote areas. Although we do need an upgrade
  2. Is the Internet central enough to life that (like mail) we should ensure everybody has access (in Finland Internet access is a right)?
  3. @profgesser that's a nice use of it. I've seen text messaging used for diary studies as well.
  4. I also liked that I finally found a way to allow me to be an empiricist for research but constructionist for teaching.
  5. @profgesser I am looking for use examples. I typically teach classes with on and off campus students with high tech knowledge.
  6. Stats discussion became a debate on epistemological basis of HCI. Thankfully empiricists were the majority voice.
  7. Discussing the (mis)use of statistics in HCI today during the weekly seminar (room 20 Howe Hall). Always good to analyze one's field.
  8. @barrywellman I'm curious, do you follow all of your students? Also do you have a write up somewhere about your use of Twitter in class?
  9. @adamfaeth I'm honestly surprised they recommend macs to cpres... Although I guess most of my undergrad programming was on a Unix box
  10. To be fair to the meta-reviewer, the 3 was dismissable (1 line reviews typically suggest the reviewer didn't read) but the 4.5 did discuss
  11. One reviewer did give me a 4.5 and another gave me a 3 (the meta-review dismissed them both for not pointing out flaws...)
  12. Normally I feel I get good feedback from CHI (even when rejected), but I really feel like these reviews were more ideological...
  13. When did CHI start opposing lab studies? Isn't it bad science to put something into the world w/o first isolating and examining causes?
  14. Understanding users of social networks: http://j.mp/irz1G. "Women actually say things, men reference things" Now I feel like I'm conforming.
  15. Made me sad to hear that one of the PFF speakers today had to lower her standards to get higher evals from students only wanting an A...
  16. I should also add that if you haven't read it yet this article about the shift toward social interfaces is interesting: http://bit.ly/10ujLv
  17. A (relatively) new site about social software (primarily focusing on the design of it): http://socialsoftware.org/
  18. I hooked Google Reader into Twitter (to a degree) so now I can start sharing some of the stories more widely.
  19. French anthropologist Levi-Strauss dies at 100 - Reuters http://bit.ly/10Zd4Q
  20. @adamfaeth my undergrad's "party fraternity" had a bottle breaking room. Is that common? Outside of rush and a week of pledge I avoided them
