Jeff pointed a few resources he quickly found on Amazon and scolded my hyperbole (of course there’s more than 7 people thinking about this).
I had a nice conversation with Heather (a PhD student in Social Informatics) about Philosophy and Technology. She commented how much she enjoyed Dourish’s book “Where the Action Is.” If I didn’t already recommend it highly enough, let me say that anyone interested in this topic should read that book.
I am, as promised, composing a page on the blog that I will have links and reviews of resources on PhilTech, this is an open call for links and book recommendations, and book reviews.
Also I was thinking about getting a new domain name more descriptive of what I write about rather than my name.name. I’d love to hear what you think.
Hopefully commenting is working again!
One book I would recommend for your philosophy/technology page is Me++ by William Mitchell. I read it for an art class and it has many interesting insights regarding a diverse set of technology-related topics.
If you ever want to borrow it, just let me know.
Very true.. when i was searching to apply for such a program, i couldn’t find many.. purdue has one i guess. UCI has some great faculty (Dourish,
Bonnie Nardi..)
Btw, I have an admit to Indiana HCI for the Fall’2008 term. Thanks for the pointer to the works of Jeff Bardzell.. very interesting and pretty much inline with my interests..

You are most welcome. I certainly could have considered UCI, I just didn’t have a lot of enthusiasm around moving back to CA, let alone SOCal.
Congrats on the admit, hope to see you on campus if I’m around.
