I’m an Assistant Professor of Digital Environments at the University of Michigan’s School of Information. I write articles and give talks, most of which are linked to on my CV. I’m presently finishing a book on the history of spam for MIT, for the fall 2012 season, and working on articles about encrypted cash, crowdsourced shaming, and Dwarf Fortress. I teach Introduction to Information (SI 110) and Dead Media (SI 535).
I work on STS and the history of technology, particularly around digital media and the Internet; unanticipated adoption and adaptation of technologies; hacking practices; dead, obsolete, failed and experimental media; and anonymity, encryption and trust.
I love close attention, direct action for social justice, vi and Unix, Lubomyr Melnyk’s continuous music, Lettera-Txt, weird movies, Tsuji Jun 辻 潤 and baking apple pies.
