Avant Propos - if you google "deliberation" my site is #10; if you adjust that to "participatory deliberation" my site is #1. (I've been working towards an IT version of "group discernment" since 1975 ... it's all about dialectic and discourse.) In 5 years that site has gotten a grand total of 1 email. 1 ... but folk are gung.ho about participation? Nope ... booschwaa ...

BenTrem.wordpress.com is where I dump my WordPress links right now; that gives some sign of how active I am at the moment ... or not.

My mainblog remains "MozDawg on DAV and Docs"

For purposes of identification: An LJ called "Gnodal" is most active; that's where I keep notes for my "Participatory Deliberation" project.

My personal journal (a variety blog, c/w rants) is at hfx_ben.livejournal.com.

If you know Wiki then you know C2, so I won't link to my user:page there. *snort*

*  "CMC since '72; compulsively tech_doc."

Bernard D. Tremblay (ben) is a Pearson-era bus-hippie who ended up doing ComRsch 291 (SigInt) and working with such as CNTelecom (Telco), the DEWLine (NORAD/SAC tropo-scatter), CBC (broadcast and recording tech), Motorola (unit repair and system installation), and Micronav International (MIL-SPEC documentation for avionics R&D), eventually raising 5 kids in the hills of Cape Breton Island.

Apart from interests in amateur radio (dating back to 1968) and baroque music (recorder) and time spent as a sometimes street musician (djembe), ben has been working on processes for citizen engagement and open access since 1975.

In a moment of wimsy he returned to university as a mature student where he concentrated on cognitive-psychology and criminology before being seduced by historiography. In that period he did ground-breaking development using VRML in ethology.

His motto is "Somewhere between sheer boredom and 'helmet fire'" (referring to cognitive ergonomics).
