I can has papers from missed conference?

I unfortunately had to miss GikII 2 (typical, I come to Edinburgh to study high-tech intellectual property law and all my tutors head off down to London for a conference on it) but the papers are now up.

bugshaw, Budding Data-Miner, will probably be very interested in this paper on managing the perception of risk in disclosing online data. But I must also recommend Im in ur tube blockin ur internets: The Politics, Perception and Parody of Network Neutrality Legislation. If you've been thinking about illustrating your talk with themed lolcats, too late - it's already been done...

This is my idea of 'pretty graphics' for a video!

I saw this at the gym the other week; it's nice to see that there are other information-graphics geeks out there, and some of them even make music videos. (The track itself - Royksopp's 'Remind Me' - is so-so, but the video is a delight.)
