urban electricity in Ann Arbor
Free electricity by Zack Denfeld This is a map of all of the electricity outlets outside that you could plug into to: project videos, have an alleyway DJ party. When I was collecting these photos I saw a meter maid using her laptop in her car with an orange extension chord plugged outside a bank and running into her car. (all of these locations are in Ann Arbor downtown outside. The map is accompanied by a very cool video.) thanks Ed |

Re: a2b3, Edward Vielmetti recommends that you use Google Calendar.
google calendar is kind of unfelicitous in its invitations, but

Apr 13 lunch non-summary
Thanks to everyone who came out for lunch today - a good crowd:
Matt Hampel, Nathaniel Poor, Dan Cooney, Mihira Jayasekera, Gaia Kile, Jose Nazario, Dave Barnett, Sam Shin, Ed Vielmetti, (did I miss anyone? I count 9 which sounds about right). Some but not all of the topics of conversation. Social networks - MySpace (teen space), Facebook (college space), Tribe (Burning Man space), LinkedIn (for getting jobs), U-M Alumni "InCircle" (leaders and best). Some sense for the demographics of each, what people use them for, and how you manage identities across each where your presentation of self is very different. Online video, YouTube and ABC/Disney - imagine the possibilities if the marketers and advertisers on these video networks could get you to connect with your online social network identities. Games. Learning management skills by playing World of Warcraft - should you put it on your resume if you are level 60? Back in the day, people dropping out of school by playing MUD for too long. The risks of having friends around the world is that you never go to sleep. Joi Ito doesn't write anymore, he just plays WoW. We're up to 40 people on the a2b3 mailing list. New faces this week: Gaia Kile, organizer of the Ann Arbor car cooperative, and community organizer; Nathaniel (Nat?) Poor, friend of Dan Cooney's, teaches at Albion until the end of the term, then looking for a position doing non-profit community telecommunications international development based in New York City (so you have 5 points to score opportunities for him on). thanks all, it was a nice lunch Ed |

My lunch was with Maurita Holland and with Mark Creekmore, we talked about poetry in Detroit classrooms, international cooperation with the University of Johannesburg, and how best to use limited transcontinental bandwidth to support audio, video, and filesharing links. (among other things, but that's enough for me to remember it...) hope to see you all next week Ed On 3/30/06, Jose Nazario <jose@...> wrote:

lunch non-summary
the usual non-summary of lunch. if you missed it, you missed it - there were 8 of us there.
some discussion: UM Press has a forthcoming book on Digital Culture, looking for the best writing on the net from 2005. We talked about just how you might boil down the net into a slice small enough to pick the best of any part of it. One possibility was to track the "zeitgeist" postings (from Google or Technorati or whoever) and then look for good instances of those; another was to seek out subcommunities with an obvious center. Mark and Kathy from Pearl Crescent have a beta of new features in Pearl Comments which put lovely little yellow sticky notes on pages so you can share comments on works in progress. I'll grab a screen shot to share once I have one & they are ready to have more of the world see it. If you are interested in trying this out let me know and I'll give you an account in my trial workspace. For you who have stopped reading the paper, the news du jour is a divided Supreme Court making a decision in favor (just barely) of Fourth Amendment rights to privacy in the home. more next week of course Ed |
