Getting real about technology…

For a small workshop I’m running on Thursday I’ve put together a shared whiteboard with a floor plan. The idea is to see who is in the meeting, and when we have breaks people put themselves in the break room and move themselves back when they are back. To be developed further.

Here’s the next iteration. Feel free to use it. The idea behind the dotted line and an area marked “DONE” is to give participants a way to communicate that they are out of ideas for the current workshop exercise. They just move their avatar there.

@snetramelleh @laura_yarrow I think a quick link to an online description of the specific talk is great, but sometimes those pages don’t specify the time slot and you have to go find it in the program. Sometimes only the starting time is specified for each speaker and you tend to forget how much Q&A time…

@snetramelleh @laura_yarrow …you agreed on. So a number of minutes for the talk, even in the program and on the speaker page, is likely helpful. I feel incredibly lazy for even suggesting this though 😅

Speaking at a corporate conference next week and suddenly I’m unsure if it’s supposed to be in Swedish or English(!). There are so few days left I feel embarassed to ask. Going to read back on e-mails to try and deduce it that way… 😅

Thanks everyone for your concern, advice and jests :) The answer is Swedish.

So here is why I get confused: on Wednesday I’m giving a talk in English for a UK audience. Next week a talk in Swedish for a Swedish archival interest group (on metadata). The week after that a talk in English for a Swedish company who have invited international clients…

While one may worry about everyday life keeping people from seeing the democratic collapse, I worry about the democratic collapse keeping people from seeing the climate collapse. I imagine it's similar behavioral mechanisms...

The chronology of this cartoon by @mackaycartoons gone viral is fascinating. Let's just say it didn't start with all those waves.
