iPhoneDevCamp has never been in Oct, always late July/early Aug. Current plan in iPadDevCamp April 2nd.
Trying to be more sustainable by taking the new SoundTransit Light Rail from Seatac to the BGIedu offices in Seattle. Easier then BART.
I’m intrigued by book @socialpatterns “Designing Social Interfaces” by @mediajunkie and @emalone — interesting TOC. Add to my syllabus?

.@AlexSteffen So exactly what do you mean by “Bright Green”— some people use it as a good property, some bad. @GiffordPinchot wonders too.
I’m getting tired of the term Social Media—seems to be Madison Ave way of co-opting conversation into old msg marketing. Prefer Social Web.
Social Web as a term is much more evocative as it encompasses the connections, whereas Social Media feels packaged and one-way.
Seeking open source online deliberation sofware. Best I’ve seem so far is the Debates page at climatecollaboratorium.org.
My definition of deliberation software—tools to facilitate not only discussion, but focus on decision making and action.
Replying to @peopleandplace
Thanks for the deliberation software tip to http://bit.ly/aBMMuY, I’ll take a look.
Replying to @NicoleLazzaro and @valdiskrebs
Be careful, Dunbar Number is a group size limit, not a personal limit (which is Social Channel Capacity).
Replying to @NicoleLazzaro and @valdiskrebs
Thus Dunbar Number is probably more a time limit, whereas Social Channel Capacity is an intimate limit.
.@NicoleLazzaro @valdiskrebs See http://j.mp/cKXfoy for difference between Dunbar Number and Social Channel Capacity.
Replying to @valdiskrebs
If you look at the papers, Dunbar Number may be caused by cognitive limits, but is a limit on group size because of aggregate.
Replying to @valdiskrebs
Whereas Social Channel Capacity is a cognitive limit of the individual. Subtle difference http://j.mp/cKXfoy
.@NicoleLazzaro @valdiskrebs @emp I believe both limits (Dunbar & Social Channel) are caused by limits in emotional part of our brains.
.@ValdisKrebs How about intead “Dunbar is a limit on size of close groups caused by personal cognitive limits of individuals in those groups
.@NicoleLazzaro Neuroscience shows that the seat of decision making is in emotion not rationality, thus cause may be we tire of decisions
@amoration Be careful of framing Dunbar as personal limit, is limit of aggregate of personal Social Channel Capacity http://j.mp/cKXfoy
Returning to Berkeley after a week at BGIedu, back for MacWorld, Dundracon & Valentines Day.
