What I learned about ambiguity
August 30 10
I gave a short (10 minute) talk called A (very) short history of ambiguity at UX Australia last week. I think it went well.

Artifacts & Behavior: activating reciprocity
February 25 10

nice example of [...]

I’m currently writing two papers. At this point, bits of these papers seem to resemble two chapters of my thesis.
