My lifestream this week has been predominantly concerned with finding and filtering information on ethnography. I like Michael Wesch’s website based at Kansas University, http://mediatedcultures.net/ which look at different aspects of digital ethnography.

I am also interested in setting up a lifestream in Second Life; this is something I may [...] Kubrick chose the most isolated place to play out his fears, space.
