Book launch activities!

With the book officially out and in stock, it is time to go on the road! The main event is the official release party at the rather splendid Museum of the Weird in Austin, Texas on May 8 during the CHI 2012 conference - see invitation above!

Additionally, I am speaking at two university events in the upcoming weeks:

Friday, April 27: Berkeley Center for New Media, at the symposium Digital Inquiry: Forms of Knowledge in the Age of New Media. Download slides here
Wednesday, May 2: Human Computer Interaction Institute, Carnegie Mellon university, at the HCII Seminar Series Download slides here

I hope to see you there! And if you want to book me for speaking engagements, feel free to contact me at larserik@yahoo-inc.com!
