CS 387: Advanced Topics in Cyberstalking
I Flickr-stalk people.
Googling just got so unsatisfying. What do you really find when you Google someone? Technical publications? Posts to automotive/birdwatching/vegan recipe newsgroups? Boring. Flickr-stalking, however? That's where the good stuff is.

Voices from the Future: Virtual Reality Patents and Interviews for HASTAC

Saturday, March 10 at SXSW
The first day of panels was quite fascinating. Educators had the stage for panels dealing with problems and technologies in higher education, students & children, and scholarly production and publishing.

While educators were on some of the panels, many of them were composed of consultants or company representatives.
Adults are always trying to understand kids, and yet the answer is always just around the corner. The panels all carried a similar theme in the belief that supporting thoughtful changes in our education and social systems (not just investing in teachers but also guidance counselors, social workers and the like) are more important than limiting technology access in addressing critical issues in our society.- bwalters's blog
