Return. Wow. It sucks to visit your own site and see that all the posts had rolled off the home page. I enjoyed writing a thesis on self-presentation, but it also exacerbated my self-consciousness. I haven’t wanted to post online for well over a year. I’m either going to have to shelve this blog or redesign it.
Resettle. I’m back in San Francisco, living on Capp St at 23rd, directly across the street from where I lived in ‘99. In some ways the last two years in Pittsburgh feel further away than the bay area years that preceded them. My ties to academia are pretty slim these days. I co-authored a poster that was presented at CSCW last week, based on some of the work I did at IBM Research last summer. That will be the last for a while.
Rework. Google is challenging, mostly due to insanely tight schedules. Many interesting projects (v1.0 heaven), but no time. We desperately need more designers. If you have any interest, please drop me an email (it’s over there on the sidebar). The hiring process isn’t the best, so if you applied previously and it didn’t happen, email me and I might be able to help.
