Bits and Bytes
An anthropologist's observations on online culture and web development in academia.
Tuesday, April 22, 2008
Welcome!
Fair warning: Bits and Bytes is more of a web-bibliography than a true blog. While I try to remember to interject my own observations every once in a blue moon - to give this more of an annotated bibliography feel - this is really more of a record of the kinds of discussions and topics I'm interested in with regards to emerging online culture.
I hope this is useful to others as well.
