academic fields to start

CS, HCI, CSCW

activity-centric networking (cs/systems)

The early internet was conceptualized as a network of hosts, and newer approaches present a network of content. We explore a third tack, organizing and navigating the internet as a network of activities for users. Hosts, content, and services may contribute to activities and may present the same or similar/substitutable activities. Metadata like duration and desires-fulfilled becomes important to the organization of the internet, and new modes of browsing are possible. Extensions to FB Open Graph and a web rendering based on the CommonCrawl.org open web crawl are presented. {demos: GLDB crawler; No Regrets chrome extension; Lifeworthy feed labeling; Opportunities API}

Signaling the possibility of rapport (hci, urban planning, psych)

Everything and Nothing (edit) :: J. L. Borges

---- page ----

There was no one in him; behind his face (which even in the poor paintings of the period is unlike any other) and his words, which were copious, imaginative, and emotional, there was nothing but a little chill, a dream not dreamed by anyone.

[Remind you of anyone?]
