Hey I would love help calibrating something, if you see this and you’ve read Joshua Meyrowitz’s No Sense of Place (more than short excerpts), would you let me know?

[jbaggs@infosec.exchange]

@kissane Do boosts help in calibration or not?

[haste@mastodon.social]

@kissane I have not heard of this human or work. Would you recommend it and if so why for?

[kissane@mas.to]

@jbaggs Probably yes!

@kissane is it cheating if i come back in a few days and say i have? lol

[luis_in_brief@social.coop]

@kissane I'm pretty voracious reader on that sort of stuff, but never even heard of it.

[kissane@mas.to]

@Haste Writeup on exactly this coming soonish! (It’s a complicated answer.)

[kissane@mas.to]

@cour13r5 it took me sooooo long oh god

[kissane@mas.to]

@luis_in_brief This is very helpful info, thank you!

[a_cubed@mastodon.social]

@kissane Not only have I read it, but it's been one of my core student texts in an Information Science course (for MBA students) for over a decade. I have my own updated spin during the course: new sense of place.

[kissane@mas.to]

@a_cubed Fascinating! How do your students find it?

[a_cubed@mastodon.social]

@kissane Being MBA students, they sometimes find it a bit hard to fully grasp his analysis approach, but the ones who choose the related presentation and essay topic (A New Sense of Place) seem inspired by his location theory ideas and do a decent job of applying it to the Internet Age.

@a_cubed I love that! Do you publish your syllabus for the class?
