Below are links to some writing / dissemination I’ve done for a variety of outlets, on a range of (often technology-related) subjects. This page will be updated when new articles are available. Some links are web pages; others are PDFs; a few are not available online.

Technology and Society

In addition to the Design with Intent blog (since November 2005), I’ve also written the following (most publications that have arisen out of my PhD work so far are available in an open-access form (often as preprints) via Brunel’s institutional repository):
