For the CHI2009 conference, we prepared unofficial ribbons and distributed them amongst the attendees. We were inspired by Brad Myers collection of CHI conference badges and ribbons. All of our 400 ribbons were gone at the end of the conference and a photo of the table on which the ribbons were presented was shown during the closing session’s slide show. It was just great fun. Below you see my conference badge and I found a few other pictures [picture1, picture2].
The full text of our paper “Scientometric Analysis Of The CHI Proceedings” is now available. In addition, we published the complete rankings and tables in an online appendix. Find out where your organization is ranked amongst the CHI contributors and how the CHI conference developed over the years. The video recording of the presentation is available at SciVee.
The German Hausradio interviewed me at the Pictopia Symposium on March 19th, 2009 in Berlin. The interview was conducted in German. [LISTEN]
The CHI conference features the CHI Madness session in which all presenters of the day have the opportunity to make their bid for attention. I prepared this teaser movie for the CHI Madness. Enjoy!
Mathematica is an extremely powerful math tool. The Eindhoven University of Technology has a site license, but only for the Windows platform. The serial number and registration provided, will not work on a Mac OS X computer. But Wolfram has got you covered! You can apply for a Home-use license, even one for Mac OS X. You need to fill in the online form and after a manual validation, they approve your application. I tried it out and I am now the proud owner of a Mathematica liscence for Mac OS X at the TU/e. Voila!
