Reading

I found a great used book store in the Sunset in SF this weekend: Black Oak Books [http://www.blackoakbooks.com/]. Picked up a copy of Ishmael Reed's Terrible Twos there and devoured it the next day. After a quarter of immersing myself in cs textbooks and conference papers I'm looking forward to a more balanced reading diet with more novels this summer.

I've been toying around with the idea of relating Deleuze&Guattari's Mille Plateaux to Ubicomp in particular and HCI design philosophy in general. Anne Galloway at Carelton University apparently had this idea of relating critical theory and cultural studies to ubicomp a few years ago and devoted her PhD thesis to the topic. Add that to the to-read-list...
