The Unevenly Distributed Messy Future

April 17, 2009 - Leave a Response

I’m not even sure what the Unevenly Distributed Messy Future is, but it’s been the topic of a blog post I’ve been meaning to write for weeks now.

It might be about Ubiquitious Computing.

It might be about using ethnographic methods to understand how people use technology.

It might be about saving the world.

It might be about maybe making the world just a little be better.

Ethics Success

April 15, 2009 - Leave a Response

After much too long we’ve had our Human Research Ethics application for our Stethoscope project approved by the Hospital Human Research Ethics Committee. Now to pass University Ethics, which shouldn’t be hard. And then, finally, we can start data collection.

A new beginning

Of course, as I have too much to do, I’m blogging instead.

Current projects include:

  • Writing four papers for IASDR2009.
  • Writing a book chapter about contrasting scenarios
  • Chasing down ethics approval for our ARC-funded digital stethoscope study
  • Finishing a journal paper about how we did the analysis for our recent nurses-applying-bandages/expertise research
  • Finishing a journal paper about the major theoretical outcome of my PhD thesis
  • Associated random teaching and admin stuff that comes with the job

That’s a lot. To paraphrase Homer Kang:

I must move forward, not backward, upward not forward, and always twirling, twirling, twirling towards publication.

And… I’m back

After great public outcry (not) I’ve dusted 0ff the heavy-duty blog for research purposes.

It’s just a thing I’m doing. Let’s see how it goes.

Gathering no Moss

I’m no longer blogging here. I haven’t the attention span.

Instead, I have a tumblelog on the splendid tumblr service.

I do not suggest that you follow me on rss unless you can cope with lots of frequent,  tiny, updates. Such is the way of a tumblelog.

On the other hand, if you have the need for a rapid-fire outlet of the “I saw this and it’s awesome” type, I highly recommend tumblr.

Update 090409: Still at tumblr. Back here. Let’s see how that works out.
