blog  Social Reference Manager: Mendeley.

Aug 2009

A colleague mentioned the existence of Mendeley to me - a new and free reference manager. I've stuck with Papers for a while and was really really happy with it, but I have to admit that Mendeley seems to have quite a few cool features there.

blog  WordSift: visualize text.

Jun 2009

WordSift [http://www.wordsift.com/] is a tool that was created primarily for teachers. Mainly, think of it playfully - as a toy in a linguistic playground that is available to instantly capture and display the vocabulary structure of texts, and to help **create an opportunity to talk and play with language.

blog  Social Innovation Camp in London.

Mar 2008

The Social Innovation Camp aims at bringing together some of the best of the UK and Europe's web developers and designers with people at the sharp end of social problems. Unfortunately the deadline for sending your 'ideas' is over - but the idea of a camp like that is awesome!


blog  Humanities Computing and web2.0.

Feb 2008

Last week I spent two interesting days in London, at the Epistemic Networks and GRID Web 2.0 for Arts and Humanities workshop. I went there representing PhiloSURFical and Cohere, but unfortunately due to technical reasons the fliers I've prepared to let this community know about our work were not handed out on time. The printers at Imperial College didnt want to work for me :-). Too bad.. I managed anyway to spread the word a bit, and the reactions have been very very positive.

blog  Love trippin'.

Nov 2007

No double meaning here - i just love getting on a train and finding myself in new places and situations all of a sudden. Rediscovering life. So i just got back from canada, kcap (i'm gonna write something about it soon) and i was trying to plan a trip with my brother for the next xmas break. Well - let's use the web - i thought, as he's not physically around. So i checked out the available services, and to my surprise the best one is yahoo-trip-planner !
