zilog@Enkerli Thanks! I am not very familiar with the work of Matt Ratto, I will look into it in more detail, thanks. The practice of Critical Making is, for me, associated to the name of Garnet Hertz and others. In any case we live at a time in which it no longer makes sense to prototype, develop or adopt technology without any critical discernment, so I consider it essential to expose younger generations to these views.
Alex Enkerli@zilog Also, don't know if he'll be tooting any time soon, but my colleague Bart Simon at Concordia is doing fascinating work at Milieux. He hosted a Banzi talk at ConU, not too long ago, and been surrounding himself with interesting people.
@Enkerli Milieux seems like an interesting place. My colleague Chris Salter told me about it, but I haven't yet visited. Can't wait to have an excuse to go.
@zilog Surely, that excuse can come more quickly than not. Are you on the birdsite? @bartsimon isn’t really active, but @Milieux_News is.
@Enkerli no birdsite for me. I'm quitting sugar and the birdsite, both at the same time, cold-turkey. :) No relapsing just yet.
@zilog Wonder which one is harder. Did spend a few months without sugar but not that much time without the bird, since 2007.
