  • Annual CES/AEA Conference 2005

    This year’s joint conference of the Canadian Evaluation Society (CES) and American Evaluation Association (AEA) is scheduled for October 24-30, 2005 in Toronto, Canada (Sheraton Centre Hotel). The theme is “Evaluation 2005: Crossing Borders, Crossing Boundaries“. Some of the conference tracks sound interesting. Here’s a short description about this year’s theme: “We live in a…

  • No Hans Club

    With much disappointment, I have realized that I am not invited to this year’s HCTP Annual Interdisicplinary Workshop titled “Human bodies, health care technologies and places: 21st Centry practices and scholarship” held on April 14-15, 2005.

  • Planting seeds and making connections

    Our “Monday morning discussion group” met yesterday. The plan was to discuss Ivan Illitch’s book, Medical Nemesis, but we ended-up discussing an opportunity that has opened up. One of our members is on the program committee for the eHealth2005 conference, and she asked about what services/events were geared toward students. Since there wasn’t anything officially…

    It’s been a while since I last posted, but I’ve been somewhat caught up on readings and preparing some of the background work for my thesis/dissertation work. In any case, I attended this year’s Health Care, Technology, & Place (HCTP) Annual Interdisciplinary Workshop held at St. Andrew’s Club in Toronto, Canada. Here are some of…

  • eHealth in the news

    Here are some news that I stumbled onto regarding eHealth during the past week or so: European e-Government to get €37.5M from EU eTEN programme Funding announcement for public-private projects on Europe’s “e” projects, including eHealth.

  • What makes a healthy house?

    I attended the 2004 Interior Design Show and there was an exhibit that caught my attention. The theme of this exhibit was “What makes you wealthy?”. I saw quite a bit of creativity and brilliance at the show designing and applying new materials, new designs, and new shapes. My question after visiting the design show…
