Sunday shopping in busy store, slow moves from waiting for salesperson, to roaming store with pager until merchandise brought upstairs, to long check out line. Friend amused as I squeezed in some extra questions of clerk out of order, as a rudeness excusable to foreigners but not locals. Computer parts to prepare laptop for another year behind the Chinese firewall. (Verkkokauppa, Tyynenmerenkatu, Helsinki, Finland) 20170813 - Hacklab.to

Private club @Doors_OpenTO @artslettersTO Great Hall, with bright stage and banners on the wall. Club founded in 1908 moved into Elm Street building in 1908.

Lightning talks at GTALUG Greater Toronto Area Linux User Group are being recorded on video. First time attending, I offered to talk for 5 minutes on Desktop Environments, followed by 5 minutes for questions. Others are technically deeper. Linux isn't my full time job, but I've spent the past 10 years of my life using it.

Ethiopian injera on platter with veggies, then grilled beef and lamb on top, and two deep fried fish on the side. No cutlery, this Mother's Day dinner was eaten with our fingers.

Graduate students and public invited to "Wicked Problems, Affordances, Service Systems: Some perspectives for designing". Abstract: Recent research into the practices of designing includes reflection on ways in which the domains for designing and the role(s) of designers have changed. These inquiries echo some of the same questions that arose during the Design Methods Movement of the late 1960s and early 1970s. This presentation focuses on exploring some perspectives associated with 21st century advances and challenges to designers: 1. Solution to a problem in context ~ Wicked problems 2. Functions in things ~ Affordances alongside interactions 3. Production systems ~ Service systems The types of projects, activities and technologies for the contemporary designer have changed. The practical and philosophical implications incorporating these perspectives will be discussed. Slides at coevolving.com/commons/20171124-wicked-problems-affordanc...
