Winter Break!
12.25.2008 @ 4:31 AM
While I was out Santa-hunting I thought I might inform everyone that I have a huge series of blog/site updates coming, starting with a badass new flash JAG85 site. I think *fingers crossed* I can finish them all over winter break! Stay tuned...

I toss up the footprints of my most recent activities here on the home page for easy tracking.
Puffin'Snuff Returns!
I figured it was about time for the yearly Puffin'Snuff update! Not only is this one about about three times as long it's had a full production crew and some high-flying theatrics! The film (picture) techniques were considerably improved and we even added a new character...

- Flash Video (high quality)

Introducing : the Community Informatics Projects Sandbox
I finally found the time to put up my new website for community informatics! Community informatics is an area of library and information science that's about helping communities (especially disadvantaged ones) achieve their needs with information technology (or information processes). I wasn't really sure how to organize all of the different things that would go there so I really just structured it literally around what I do with CI: website development (it's a handy non-University testing platform and I can host community resources freely there), publications and research, and the CI club. The site will feel a little bit like JAG-wire in that it reports on all of my latest activities - but just those related to CI.

Freeze Tag with the Facebook Project
I've put the Facebook Project on hold for this semester as I begin to dabble in Community Informatics, which surprise, surprise has little to do with Facebook research. I did find a way to fit a paper on Facebook into my distributed knowledge class recently, however. Jenny Ryan (another FBP hobnob) is also busy transitioning between jobs but you can still follow her blog; she's currently researching for danah boyd. As such we haven't had all that much new material there but Eric Gilbert expects to release a very cool paper on Facebook and Social Capital sometime soon.
For now we suggest you make use of this website as a resource. The wiki could still use your help. Jeff might even post up additional interview transcriptions if enough people find them useful.

A Collaborative Drawing, part II!
We finished the first collaborative Drawing Project, which is now hanging in my living room. As we've now moved into a new apartment we need a new project, and we named this one in memory of our friend Alex Herder, who has left us for far-away lands.
