Hi all,
I’m back 
I didn’t get to much blogging latetely as I was having holiday and work(shops) in New York and Philadelphia for the Hyperlinked Conference together with Auke. I think the conference was actually a little disappointing - too much old media, but it was great being there. I also went to Canada to work with citizenlab and govcom.org for the Open Net Initiative. The first map on Iran can be found here (pdf). When the project has finished of course more results will be published on my blog. When you can’t wait you can go to Nart’s blog at ice.citizenlab.org where you will find the most current findings on internet censorship.
So what does the future has got in petto? First I need to finish my thesis (two more weeks :)) and then I’ll work on some projects with govcom.org for impakt, the issuecrawler, the issuescraper and the open net initiative. Eventually I’ll probably get a full time job at the new media department of the UvA. I’ll also work on the Open Search initiative.
I’ll be blogging more often, probably mostly about my work, but of course also about great new media events. Therefor I have set up a calendar plugin which you can see at the right side. It’s a pretty neat plugin, the only downside is that you have to actually edit the time stamp of your post instead of having a separate input box where you can set the date and duration. The nice thing however is that is exportable to any calendar app
