If you’ve emailed me and either gotten bounced or no reply, I’m sorry. My web host is Interland and they’re terrible. For the second time in three weeks I’ve lost email access, so now I’m switching hosts. I’ve heard pair.com is a good web host and that weblogs in Movable Type can be difficult to migrate. If you have have input on either, leave a comment or drop me an email (address in the sidebar). Thanks.
Update: I’ve switched web hosts, everything should be fine now.
Billed as “a database of sources for physical computing parts, methods, software, and other resources”, the site is a weblog run out of the Interactive Telecommunications program at NYU. Bless ‘em for sharing the wealth.
It’s looking like my thesis paper and project are going to be more socially focused (CSCW: computer-supported cooperative work, social software, whatever you want to call it), but dorking out on the physical computing stuff is number two on my list of things to do after graduating next spring (number one is taking a long trip somewhere).
Also on the more arty side of design, my friend Carl mentioned that Golan Levin is going to be teaching here in the spring. Should be a nice break from the HCI classes I’m taking this fall: CSCW, taught by Bob Kraut and Paul Resnick (Neema’s taking it too), and Applied Reseach Methods, taught by Sarah Kiesler. My other two classes are my thesis paper and thesis project, advised by Jodi Forlizzi and John Zimmerman, respectively.
