just another too easy story

now posting regularly at blog.wtf.tw. see wtf.tw for marginally more coherent text.

Where is Phil Agre? What would it mean to look for him?

Philip Agre, author of Computation and Human Experience and the many-inspiring essay “Toward a critical technical practice”, and associate professor in the Information Studies department at UCLA, has been reported missing (UCLA-PD bulletin here).

I have not met Agre, but I would like to. “Toward a critical technical practice” was inspiring for me and quite a few people that I know (as well as people I don’t know, but look up to).
