  1. Seattle to Vancouver with CivicActions (Part 2)

    This is the second podcast from the car. Aaron asked Fen to ellaborate on iNames, how they work, and how we might be able to use them in our work.

In this first segment Fen answers questions about iNames and we talk about the implications for trust systems in social networks.

  5. Does anyone really like black olives from a can?

    I am in Seattle. Things are great. The food is good, the coffee is amazing (more on that in a different post) and the weather is not nearly as bad as people say. After yesterday's state of the union there is so much I could be writing about right now. But what moved me to…
