]]> Comment on Some disconnected thoughts… by Chris Lemery http://inbetweencitizen.wordpress.com/2007/12/05/some-disconnected-thoughts/#comment-42 Chris Lemery Wed, 05 Dec 2007 20:24:54 +0000 http://inbetweencitizen.wordpress.com/2007/12/05/some-disconnected-thoughts/#comment-42 A journal article that's locked up tighter than Fort Knox?! Surely you jest! Yes, that was a bit of sarcasm. Sad to say, I only figured out a few years ago that you can even cut and paste from a PDF, so don't feel too bad about that. I really like examining the concept of social capital in your paper, and I think you can really do some good things with that. I think your straw people are a bit too easy to knock down, but that may be my biases talking. If you focus in on a particular argument or author, that may be better. ~Chris A journal article that’s locked up tighter than Fort Knox?! Surely you jest! Yes, that was a bit of sarcasm.

I especially like how you have a section on theory based on readings from class and how you are bringing all we've learned in class into what seems will be a fantastic paper. Your outline is definitely a solid road map that will get you to an awesome outcome! A beautifully organized outline indeed.

I appreciate the way you've highlighted the difficulty with concepts that we take for granted. I think you did a good job explaining what a password is, and I don't know that I could really explain it to someone who didn't understand the concept. In your situation, I might refer to some cultural artifact, such as a movie or TV show, but that's really difficult when the person isn't originally from the U.S. and probably doesn't have the same "cultural IQ" as you (or I) do. I hope the service learning experience has been better for you than it has been for me. ~Chris Sheryl,

Once we all begin clicking buttons in order to get to information we fail to read the privacy statements--I know I do particularly in a time crunch! This is one of the main things people sacrifice for convenience and immediate connection.

I grew up in BC and attended elementary and highschool on the campus of UBC. I am very excited to be going back to UBC in late January to do a public lecture and a training in qualitative data analysis. This will be followed by a third attempt to go heli skiing with my brother and best friend from high school. Last year we were rained out twice! This is *another* great post.
