I am interested in:
- information visualization/data mining: Releasing the structure hidden in data in visual form, being able to explore it and learn things from it that I would not otherwise have known. Recombining data in new ways.
- art and design: making beautiful, breathtaking, meaningful visual things
- sense-making: making sense of chaotic or muddy information/knowledge, understanding it and making it available back to the community
- organizing/efficiency: organizing information so that I and others can more easily find it
- knowledge sharing, mentoring, learning: sharing what I have learned with other people to save them time, and help them organize things the way I want them; also learning from them. Getting people to work together to create and learn as a community.
- web publishing: writing and publishing things on the web, and helping more people do that more easily. This ties in with art and design.
- emergent phenomena: complex behavior/phenomena from simple systems. Generative art, sensor motes.
