Barry: Can you tell me where the Center for Digital Futures is located in LA because unfortunately I do not live there, but I have some general familiarity with LA because I often do post production work in Burbank, Century City and Beverly Hills. Is it open to the public or is it open only to organization members? I would like to visit it and get a photo as part of my digital dissertation which I am preparing to defend at the beginning of next semester or the end of this year. I could just fly in for a day or two.

This may provide the opportunity for some face-time with AoIR people. Please get in touch. (For various reasons, I don't know if I will have e-contact Nov 1-7. But try.) I can always be reached via Phoebe Schramm at the Centre (oops, Center -- I'd better get that right before Homeland starts tailing me) for Digital Futures. I also expect to be talking at greater Hillsboro (aka Portland OR) Dec 7 and suburban Microsoft (U Washington) Dec 8. And if I still have your attention, see my Second Bar Mitzvah speech (aka my hour-long inaugural Endowed Chair lecture) on my website. Click on Publications, and then Presentations, and then find "The Internet in Everyday Life" blurb that starts with "Eighty nine slides ..." There will be a video, integrated with the slides, eventually. PS: I ran a seminar with the American Marketing Association yesterday, in which they were mega-surprised that some scholars are diffident about posting to this list about their work because it is "self-promotion". When I (and NetLab) have spent months and years researching and writing it, I/we want people to read it and hear it!!!
