What is This?
This is a posting to be used an about page.
Stuff to look at about looking at stuff. What?
What we do on the web is look at stuff and when we look at it we think some stuff, and sometimes we make some more stuff. A synthetic learning process. The web is great for this. It’s fast and relatively easy.
Why Peer Pressure?
Peer pressure in the normal sense of the phrase is what got me to create this tumblelog. “You should have a blog” is something I’ve been hearing a lot since I stopped the last two.
Peering is what we do when we look at stuff. Creating peers is what we do when we establish relationship with other people based on looking at their stuff, learning about them, and forming links.
Peermore is what my company is called. A systems design and development consultancy focused on social information access, use and creation. The name comes from wanting to enable people and information both to look more, see more and connect more. I’m always looking for interesting work.
Who are you?
I’m Chris Dent. I’m currently living in Oxford, England. Before that I was in Seattle for a while. I like to think about the things we use to help us think. Information things. Which is pretty much everything. I’ve started calling myself and Information Theologist.
I write the stuff on here in an intentionally informal style often making no sense. If I stopped to try and make things clean, clear and formal I’d decide not to write. If you find what you think are some egregious errors of style, structure, grammar spelling or thought, I’d love to hear about it so I can clean things up.
