Nine years after its original rejection, my co-author Belinda Dunstan's tenacity and our belief in this idea, led to this month's publication of our sculpture and robot design paper in IxD&A: https://ixdea.org/article/?nIssue=61&order=03 - Thanks to the reviewers and editors who helped improve this contribution over the years!

Want to make sense of this winning Musk-Thiel presidential ticket? I can't recommend my friend Noam Cohen's 2017 book "The Know It Alls" https://thenewpress.com/books/know-it-alls painting the backdrop to this right wing tech takeover.
The Know-It-Alls

In The Know-It-Alls former New York Times technology columnist Noam Cohen chronicles the rise of Silicon Valley as a political and intellectual force in American life. Beginning nearly a century ago and showcasing the role of Stanford University as the incubator of this new class of super geeks, Cohen shows how smart guys like Jeff Bezos, Peter Thiel, Sergey Brin, Larry Page, and Mark Zuckerberg fell in love with a radically individualistic ideal and then mainstreamed it.

Can we have the page limit back for CHI papers?

I had to deal with a freshly unboxed Android phone, and the flipping *clock* app, that was installed by default, came with a privacy policy.

I discovered this because the clock started crying that it couldn't work properly without Google Play Services.

I don't care what the privacy policy was for. I am tired. A clock app does not need to be in a position to have any privacy policy more involved than "we collect and report no data".

The clock is now disabled.

I am so tired of this.

Can you believe it's not even been a year since the Apple Vision Pro was dropped? It's hard to even remember our work and play life before this life-changing technology.
I untangled a pretty messy metal(!) slinky. 😌 Calling this weekend productive.

"At the heart of our inquiry lies the challenge of knowledge production and dissemination in an era dominated by AI-driven systems. Our emphasis here is on the interplay between epistemology and legitimacy: the factors that distinguish human intelligence from artificial intelligence, the limits and errors of each intelligence, and the operations of prediction and forecasting that have become so vital for modern science."
