A dresser inside a museum in New York City has been discovered as a secret stop on the Underground Railroad — the first of its kind discovered in Manhattan in over 100 years

A great honour to be interviewed by Fawzia Kara-Isitt of ACMs Women in Computing for U-RISE (Unconventional Routes into Computing: Re-Imagining Skills & Entry). I appreciated the chat about my path in HCI and CSCW across past and present. women.acm.org/u-rise-profe... @ucc-apppsych.bsky.social

I learned about curling stones, where they are made, why they are made only in one place in the world, and why the granite comes only from Ailsa Craig - the Scottish Island in Ayrshire also known as Paddy’s Milestone as it’s about halfway between Belfast and Glasgow. www.bbc.com/news/av/uk-s...

Why all Olympic curling stones come from a Scottish island

Kays Scotland have been producing curling stones using Ailsa Craig granite for almost two centuries.

Many thanks @luiciolfi.bsky.social for delivering this year’s annual HCI@UCD Christmas Lecture on the topic of our increasingly digitally-entangled worklives. Is hybrid really the ideal “new normal”? Food for thought as we enter the winter break! Wishing you a lovely holiday from all at HCI@UCD!

Prof. Luigina Cliolfi stands in front of slides on the topic of 'Digitally-Entangled Worklives, Continued: Is Hybrid really the ideal “new normal”?'

It's nice to finally be able to talk about "Minimal Curation: Minimal Computing for Sustainable Digital Sociocultural Heritage", which involves a nice team bridging community development, digital preservation, software development, and sustainable HCI!

The German company that makes the mechanical ladder used in the Louvre heist has used the image to advertise, with the text 'When you need to move fast' 10/10 response, no notes

Image of the mechanical ladder outside the Louvre

Text below says WENN'S MAL WIEDER SCHNELL GEHEN MUSS (When you need to move fast)

Underneath is more German text which translates as "The Böcker Agilo transports your treasures weighing up to 400kg at 42m/min - quiet as a whisper."
