TOPIC: Friendsters at Work: Displaying Social Media Streams in the Workplace Although there is a growing appreciation for the value of friendships in work settings, relatively little attention has been devoted to how sharing through social media services can help foster stronger relationships in the workplace. At Nokia Research Center Palo Alto, they are embarking on an investigation into the use of a new generation of proactive displays - large computer displays that can sense and respond in contextually appropriate ways to the people nearby. Our new Context, Content and Community Collage proactive display application is running on 8 LCD touchcomputers recently deployed throughout our lab. Nearby people are sensed via Bluetooth phones, and the response is an incrementally generated ambient collage of photos from Flickr profiles they have chosen to share. The presentation will highlight the motivations, goals, design and early deployment experiences with the proactive display application. Joe McCarthy is a Principal Instigator at Nokia Research Center Palo Alto. $15 non SDForum members; no charge for members; registration not required.

Players can come with a team already organized, or can join like-minded hunters at the event; it's a great way to make new friends.Sleuths in action, dressed properly for the occasion Familiarity with San Francisco geography or history is useful, but is not required. The clues, or puzzles, are designed to test various skills: map reading; knowledge of popular culture, current events, science or literature; crossword puzzle solving; cracking simples codes, etc. Everyone on a team gets to contribute, and must collaboratively agree on what they think is the correct solution to each clue.

The Hotel Utah Open Mic with host JJ Schultz http://theutah.org The Hotel Utah open mic is the epicenter of San Francisco's singer-songwriter community. Its stage attracts performers at all stages of their careers: from seasoned veterans to first-timers. It attracts music fans who know a good thing when they see it. The musicians who come regularly don't come just to get a little "stage time" - they come because of the community that calls Monday at The Utah home - and the musicians that come in for the first time eventually start to come regularly... So come on down this monday, have a beer, bring your guitar if that's your thing, and sit back and enjoy. This week's feature performer - JEANNE FOSS http://www.jeannetunes.com Jeanne /zh䨮/ n. [Fr. from Jeanne D'Arc.] woman, daughter, sister, lover, fellow traveler, soup slurper, ghee spreader, occasional nose-picker, recovering hard-wired pleaser, city street and dirt path walker, reluctant self-identifier, once-upon a time painter, present day singer-song writer, maybe tomorrow's world champion wrestler, or maybe yet another home baker?. With naked sincerity, compassion, and at times cunning humor, Jeanne's songs depict a personal, yet universal view of life -- not always sweet, not always smooth, not always beautiful, but somehow always just right. She currently lives in San Francisco, California and is working on her first album, The Pleasers, which consists of songs that invite the soul to rise up from behind its usual hiding places of human conditioning, social masks, old habits, fears and other issues so common and so dear.
