  • The Restroom

    in

    Nancy M. alerted me to this unique blog, The Restroom: A journal of design oddities in public restrooms featured today in a Boston Herald article. In my mind, it has the charactersitcs of a fine place blog, combining the observation of places over time, close attention to ordinary experience, a concern for the implication of…

  • An Evening with Tom Brosseau, North Dakota Troubadour

    in , ,

    I almost didn’t make it out to hear Tom Brosseau play at Club Passim tonight. Elaine emailed me from CA a couple of days ago, urging me to go, but when I got home from work the humidity wrestled me to the ground and pinned me. The power was out when I walked in the…

  • Remembering Srebrenica and Chicago

    in

    This week marks the 10th anniversary of the massacres at Srebrenica when nearly 8,000 Bosnian Moslems were killed and the international community stood by without intervening. The last couple of days, I’ve been thinking a lot about the Bosnian co-workers and clients I got to know as a refugee resettlement job developer in Chicago. I…

  • Confluences: GeoProject USA and Google Maps

    in

    This morning I read in the Boston Globe about Google’s decision to allow developers to plug customized data into Google maps, basically legitizing what hackers were already doing ("Google points way to Maps’ code"). They’ve made their API info available at http://www.google.com/apis/When I ran across the GeoProject USA, I noticed they had already put together…

  • The Quint House Goes Wireless

    in

    Tonight I’m sitting on the porch enjoying the warm summer breeze while working online for the first time–thanks to the wireless network I finally set up last night. I just never bothered to set one up, since our wired network has served us just fine, but now that my third floor room has reached oven-like…

    Computers and Writing 2005, Stanford

    in , ,

    Since Wednesday I’ve been in Palo Alto at the Computers and Writing 2005 conference, and tomorrow I’ll be heading back to Boston. The conference has been good–I feel like I got what I came for–but now I’m ready to get back to Boston and finish this rather taxing trip. On Friday night we had a…

  • CIWIC 2005: Wrapping Up

    in

    Well, the last two weeks are now a blur of class time, lab time, and socializing at various sites around the Keweenaw. The immersion experience has kept me from doing much blogging, and now I have to hit the road so that I can get back to Minneapolis before too late. Perhaps I’ll have a…
