Like Whitman, our pal David Menconi sings of himself and that he has a story starting on the Front Page of today’s News and Observer. In Second Life for Gary Marchionini’s talk. Also in Real Life. Can’t listen to the SL audio since I forgot my earphones so I’m listening in RL. Nice crowd in both worlds (lives?). Fred has a Flickr or two of the talk. Announcement:
Marchioniniism alert! Proflection: combo of projection and reflection. that which is projected into cyberspace — including what others say about you whether you are aware of that or not, what machines and algorithms say/link about you and all of you projections and reflections. also includes conscious stuff like webpages, facebook profile or implicit like your clickstreams etc. Others have noticed that “proflection” is a term that has been is use since the 1930s by therapists. Was out at Red Hat World Headquarters yesterday where Greg DeKoenigsberg let me peek at the One Laptop Per Child which was running a version of Red Hat Fedora Core 6 Linux off of Greg’s flashdrive. |
