    I don't know how much this might apply to any of our research, but I thought that this new leap in technology could be interesting in the future. How are we going to interact with others once things like this start being used more? Kind of reminds me of Wall-E, but still, really cool. I would definitely buy something like this. Get your cardio and gaming in all at once!

Virtual Methods - Edited Collection - 1 views

    I've been reading this book and it has a bunch of stuff related to conducting ethnography in virtual spaces. The editor proposes the idea of cyber-social-scientific knowledge to get at the internet as both a cultural artefact and cultural context. Chapters 6 and 10 seem particularly relevant to discussions of digital ethnography.

    I really have liked using this tool with the minimal experience I've had with it thus far. I would really like to learn how to do the split screen and also learn this point they noted: Option to record both sides sound, local sound only and remote sound only. - See more at: http://www.evaer.com/#sthash.NjDc1JRN.dpuf

    This looks like a very useful and user-friendly application. I have always found video interviews difficult to deal with in terms of capturing/transcribing so many thanks for passing this along. I had trouble downloading the trial version on my MacBook Pro for some reason. Looking for troubleshooting info.

    (39 Images of occupying Favelas in Rio de Janeiro that don't appear on TV) Here are some great pics of the police occupying the favelas or communities as most Cariocas (People from Rio) would preferred to call them out of respect. This is what they call 'pacification' where drug trafficking is eliminated and police enforcement is ever present.

    Here's another recent article on this from the Washington Post: RIO DE JANEIRO - Squatters occupying a complex of abandoned buildings in Rio de Janeiro clashed with police Friday after a court ruling that allowed the premises to be cleared. http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/the_americas/fighting-breaks-out-in-rio-de-janeiro-as-police-move-to-clear-5000-squatters-from-buildings/2014/04/11/047ade4e-c180-11e3-b574-f8748871856a_story.html.
