MSU Technology Showcase: The Usual Suspects

by | Friday, February 20, 2009

I have been invited by Patrick Dickson, Byron Brown and Jon Sticklen to offer a lowkeynote address (note emphasis on lowkey!) for MSU’s Second Annual Faculty Technology Showcase (more details here).

I have created a small presentation to go with my lowkeynote, slides available here.

I also created a graphic “capturing” the three people who organized this, based on the movie The Usual Suspects. I thought this may be useful to record for historical purposes, so here it is below.

Leigh Wolf took some pictures of the show (link in the comment section or here). Some ego shots (thanks to Steve Yelon & Leigh Wolf) below:

Thoughtless acts? Technology, creativity & teaching

Jun 1, 2010

I have always been interested in the manner in which people use (or re-use) everyday things for purposes they were never intended for. Be it a piece of red tape to mark a glass door so that people don't slam into the glass (as I see at the MSU clinical center every...

I just discovered a blog by Charles Blow, visual Op-Ed columnist for the NYTimes. Titled By the Numbers it is a site for "discussion about all things statistical — from the environment to entertainment — and their visual expressions." Pretty cool. Check it out.

Dewey, back from the dead

Aug 28, 2008

I just got this email from the Cognitive Science program at MSU inviting me for their weekly cognitive forum. Turns out the speaker this week is someone called John Dewey! For a moment I thought Dewey was back with us 🙂 The title of his talk is "How do we know when...
