I call this year my year of triplets. Over the last few months, I had my first child, finished my book<\/a>, and kickstarted a research institute<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In planning this year, one of the things that I promised myself was that when Ziv was giggly and smiley, I would take a proper holiday and get to know him better. That time has come. Ziv, Gilad, and I are off to Argentina for a month of trekking and rejuvenation.<\/p>\n

Those who know me know that I take vacations very seriously. They’re how I find center so that I can come back refreshed enough to take things to the next level. 2014 promises to be an intense year. It’ll begin with a book tour and then I’ll transition into launching Data & Society properly.<\/p>\n

Before I jump into the awesome intensity of what’s to come, I need a break. A real break. The kind of break where I can let go of all of my worries and appreciate the present. To do this, I’m taking one of my email sabbaticals<\/a>. This means that my email will be turned off. No emails will get through and none will be waiting for me when I return. I know that this seems weird to those who don’t work with me but I’ve worked hard to close down threads and create backup plans so that I can come home without needing to wade through digital hell.<\/p>\n

If you’re hoping to reach me, here are four options:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Resend your email after January 10. Sorry for the inconvenience.<\/li>\n
  2. If you want it waiting for me, send me a snail mail: danah boyd \/ Microsoft Research \/ 641 6th Ave, 7th Floor, NY NY 10011<\/li>\n
  3. For Data & Society<\/a> inquiries:\u00a0<\/em>contact Seth Young at info [at] datasociety.net<\/em><\/li>\n
  4. For “It’s Complicated”<\/a> questions:\u00a0<\/em>contact Elizabeth Pelton at lizpelton [at] gmail<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The one person that I will be in touch with while on vacation is my mom. Mom’s worry and that’s just not fair.<\/p>\n

    I’m deeply grateful for all of the amazing people who have made 2013 such a phenomenal year. With a bit of R&R, I hope to make 2014 just as magical. Have a fantastic holiday season! Lots of love and kisses!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
