Silly Argumentation
Sometimes I wonder why we argue about topics on radio, tv, and even in our own homes. This morning I’ve been listening to an episode of Science Friday that is discussing Plan B medication and its current place in the FDA’s approval queue. To briefly sum it up, Plan B was approved for over-the-counter use…

Moodsic
Every once in a while my Shuffle really really really comes through. This morning I barely made it through my Graphic Design class. It’s a really interesting class, but, as I have told many around me, there’s a world of difference between a class that starts at 8 AM and one that starts at 9.…

UbiComp Ethics
Here’s a great article on the ethical standards of Interaction Designers in the era of Ubiquitous Computing. The actual ethics start about halfway down the page, but it’s a good read even before that. Check it out To the ethics stated here, I would add: Principle 6. Be Imaginative.* Do not create a system or…
