Write the story of your life and identity/ies on Facebook.  Some questions you should  address: How long have you “lived” there?  Has the time been continuous, or with breaks?  What does Facebook do for and to you? Who are you on Facebook and how has that changed?  

(You could tell this story using your different profile pictures/cover page as the spine.)  If your profile picture is an avatar, what work is it doing for you?  

How do...

Self Evalution

17 Years of Serendip -- Dec 16 2013 - 9:37am

Serendip began as a conversation in the winter of 1993-94. Paul loved to tell this story in subsequent years: Ann was taking a bioengineering grad-level class at Penn, and was building neural network models to simulate learning and vision. Paul said he thought it would be fun to do something with neural networks, but Ann really wanted to do something with the "World Wide Web," this brand new thing. So Paul agreed that we could do a website, and Ann agreed that we could do neural networks.... And we never got around to doing neural networks!
