hawaii is off… grrr..

Fernanda Viegas and i wrote an amazing paper for the HICSS conference called Digital Artifacts for Remembering and Storytelling: PostHistory and Social Network Fragments. It’s the first publication that i’m really proud of, as it starts to tease out some of the theoretical issues that our work was grappling with. And, in writing it, i learned sooo much. Sadly, it seems as though i won’t get to present the paper.

When we wrote it, we were under the impression that we would be funded to attend the conference. I had one conference coming to me and Fernanda did too. Well, it seems as though promises are easily broken… things change, or so i’m (not even directly) told. Of course, i kept my end of the bargain, which i now feel foolish for doing. It’s amazing how easy it is to remain bitter about a situation that should’ve been so good and so blatantly wasn’t.

    That’s a really interesting paper. It’s funny, actually that you used something so indifferent but sensical as an e-mail archive. I actually just recently went through my sent and recieved e-mails in an attempt to try to remember specific events with my current girlfriend, and looking at all my old e-mail made me feel euphoric with ‘things of the past’ ( can’t think of the word, sentimental… no but something along those lines )
