Something we're all in denial about, btw, is that rhetorical infrastructure is one of the central achievements of CS: • 10-page, open-access paper • clear abstract • figure explains the problem on page 1 (or at most 2) • supported by open code • written in ... LaTeX ... (ok, no one's perfect)

Feels quite "this is fine" to do conferences these days, but then again (cf. last slide) - new means to defend the perception of art & culture might be most needed when the flood swallows the zone. (1/5)
Taught the first day of "Data for the Rest of Us" and tried an activity I'm calling "We Data." Students construct datasets about themselves in small groups and look for stories in the spreadsheet. A good icebreaker and introduction to the themes of the course. More here:
