Brains working towards machine consciousness

 Conference

 Unconference supporting KTEqual conference the day after, at UoR

I am a single person,
Fulfilling many roles,
Finding ways to work with friends,
Other like-minded souls.

I am a single person,
Seen in many ways,
Each sees a different me,
Or me, on diffferent days.

Am I a single person?
Do many parts make one?
Is consciousness coherent?
Or is it all more fun?

Some social sites, such as Facebook, don't give you any inkling of when your profile page, or any materials you post, have been viewed.  Some dating sites let you know how often your profile has been viewed, although one can never be sure whether this is an accurate figure or an attempt to get people to upgrade their accounts. Academia.edu lets you know when someone visits your profile there from a search and the keywords they used to find you.

First up, can I thank everyone involved in ThoughtFest09.  It was an incredibly stimulating, enjoyable two days providing much food for thought.

Several people in the CCK08 massively online course on Connectivism and Connected knowledge have been discussing online identity, self and reputation. One of the interesting points is about how engaged you can feel when dealing with an avatar (graphical or textual) which has obviously been designed as an ephemeral presence purely for a particular purpose. If there is no back history available, can you feel a sense of trust?

This Is Me is an Eduserv funded project to design learning materials to help with education about forming, maintaining and securing your personal identity on the web, otherwise known as their Digital Identity (DI). The initial stages involve collecting people's stories about DI, whether cautionary, advisory, entertaining or just plain educational.

DI Tim your friendly neighbourhood copper… or is he? In this case, no. DI.TiM is the tag I have chosen to use for matters relating to our This Is Me project, which is all about Digital Identity (DI).
