My good intentions of creating up to four “sub-blogs†to accompany my original posting “Information Cartography” went… you know. I’ll keep centered around work-work as that’s what people have responded to, and if anybody wants to talk about anything else, meet me at the piano bar.

About:
I work and I play and try to keep them one in the same. I'm from Buffalo, NY and live there now, taking classes at SUNY and working full time consulting in digital oral history management. I'm interested in imagining ways to progressively evolve the human/computer interface beyond the QWERTY keyboard and small rectangular screens. I've been working with indexing oral histories for five years, and before that I worked as an Environmental Engineer. My area of research, both in engineering and in digital humanities could be summed up as "cartography". I take large amounts of data, and represent them in formats that help people understand better their meaning.

Friday, December 18th, 2009This is my initial inventory of things I might want to talk about at THATcamp. I’ve used a four-quadrant mini mind map to group things on a continuum between my “real-work” and my purely “for-fun” threads of interest.
