A “onesie” I embroidered for Ansel Chan, Steve and Anya’s iSchool baby.

I’ve begun posting to course descriptions/syllabus pages for I212 (Information in Society) and I290-3 (The Social Life of Visual Media). (If these links aren’t live yet, check back in another day or so. There’s a time lag between when I start posting and the web staff gets them going.)

For I212, content is being decided, and scheduling is negotiable. I’ll be teaching it with Elizabeth Churchill from Yahoo. Pls see course webpage if interested.

I290-3 is of particular interest to students in the Berkeley Center for New Media. It’ll be similar to last year but substantially revised and re-ordered.
