Some nice UW coverage of Shengzhi Wang’s CSCW paper on how older adults’ social support networks (both support received and support given) shifted during the pandemic, and the role of technology in those shifts.

It is always such a delight delegating the ability to produce critical bureaucratic documents to systems outside of my control and then those systems breaking.

Today I am trying to make a two-page biosketch CV using SciENcv and there's no way to make it produce a compliant PDF until I can fill out a field that the system refused to let me fill out.

Yes, I've started it all over from the top.

Easily 2 hours of time just completely wasted.

Old man Keegan slipped and fell on some ice, got a gnarly dislocated shoulder with mind-bending pain, and now gets to wear a brace for a week.

There’s nothing like the immediate pain relief after they popped it back in…

Post #CHI2023 recap I’d be interested in reading: making the case for attending academic conferences again.

Once upon a time I soaked up every hour of every event. But 15 years into this career and after a baby and pandemic, the thought of a week of conference food, small talk, and wifi while exposing yourself to long COVID is not compelling.

I’d much rather hole up in a cabin with some collaborators for a few days so we can crank on a project in between making food and going on hikes.
