Links for 25 May
Happy GDPR Day! Ok, maybe that’s not the best way to open the week’s link share. Yet, there’s something to be said about the sites who don’t have much in the way of the notices about privacy policies and data governance which drive more about the consumer internet than much else. Its good to have a few sites where sharing info out, doesn’t mean you are sharing info into an abyss of little control. Continue reading →

Links for 18 May
The backend of Spring has hit a number of places and industries differently. Where some areas are getting so much rain that what looked refreshing is now flooding, other places are finding themselves parched, looking fot a relief. What does that have to do with the links for the week? Maybe nothing. Then again, the amount of water one needs to make it to the next season does depend on where you are in this one.

Links for 11 May
Would be the easy excuse to say that the usual posting scheme was disrupted because of the work on deck, but that’s not exactly the case. There was a bit of procrastination involved, which led to the travel/work on deck, which led to a “ah let’s just pick back up on Friday” bit. It might be ok to resume things as they were.

Links for 20 April
Back again with a few links which have made something of influence here and there throughout the week. At the same time we share them, there’s also a shifting happening a bit behind the scenes — the links do have to lead somewhere you know. The Future of Well-Being in a Tech-Saturated World by Pew Research Discipling Play: Digital Youth Culture as Capital at School via The University of Chicago Press Journals How the Walkman Made Us Who We Are and Why We Need to Redesign Desires Beyond Tech Algorithmic Impact Assessments via AI Now Institute The Facebook Trials: It’s Not “Our” Data via Marginal Revolution There were a number of items pushed here this week from us; one part of that starting tweets here, another part in keeping the long-form writing as a focus of what’s put forward.
