Something Wiki
2016 Young Author's Award — Shortlisted CCBC's Best Books for Kids & Teens (Fall 2015) - Commended Instead of writing in a diary, twelve-year-old Jo Waller secretly edits Wikipedia entries to cope with the worst year of her life. Jo Waller has three brainy friends, two mostly harmless parents, and one deep, dark secret: she edits Wikipedia for fun. But when her twenty-four-year-old brother moves back home with his pregnant girlfriend, Jo is forced to reconcile the idealized version of her absent, cool older brother with the reality of romantic relationships and the truth behind so many embarrassing health class videos. With the young couple moving back into the family home, there’s barely enough room for anyone to move, let alone have any privacy. Throw in some major friendship turbulence, a seriously unrequited crush, and a mortifyingly bad haircut, and it’s looking like Jo will be lucky to make it out of the year alive. When you’re a pizza-faced dork who uses Wikipedia as a diary and would rather wear ancient hand-me-downs than shop at the mall, what’s the upside? Jo is about to find it in the most unlikely way.
The Golden Ellipse
A heart-pounding odyssey to return a timeless relic atop a proto-pyramidic beacon. It’s just the fate of the world. No pressure. Book One in The Powers That Be trilogy, THE GOLDEN ELLIPSE draws parallels between the Great Pyramid’s mysterious origin and Fermi’s paradox in an epoch-spanning story rich in history and paranormal intrigue with an eclectic cast of dimensional characters, gritty dialogue, dark humor, and a clandestine organization known as The Powers That Be (PTB), chartered to foster humankind’s destiny in a crowded universe. * * * In a domed granite chamber deep beneath the Giza Plateau, a proto-pyramidical beacon pulses a stern message into the cosmos for millennia to leave Earth alone as a dark spectral force conspires to terminate the beacon’s warning by removing its infinite power, the golden ellipse. In 1944, a Nazi spy unwittingly loots the enigmatic gold relic. In the fog of world war, it falls into the hands of a brash American fighter pilot who buries the prized contraband in the Libyan desert before his paranormal demise on a daring air raid in the south of France. A century later, in the AI-driven world of 2044 replete with human replicants and alien tech, intrepid honeymooners Rachel and Owen Haig—fresh off a space tourism touchdown in France—are hijacked by Rachel’s ghostly ancestor onto a heart-pounding odyssey to locate the legendary golden ellipse and restart the beacon’s signal before time runs out. The treacherous quest culminates in a harrowing pitch-black descent beneath the Giza Plateau illuminated by Rachel’s transformational Blue Spark fate as reptilian invaders unleashed by the beacon’s century of silence tear open Earth’s skies. It’s just the fate of the world. No pressure.
Emergent Collaboration Infrastructures
Using the domain of crisis management, Christian Reuter explores challenges and opportunities for technology design in emergent environments. He therefore empirically analyzes collaborative work in inter-organizational crisis – such as the police, fire departments, energy network operators and citizens – in order to identify collaboration practices that reveal work infrastructure limitations. He also designs, implements and evaluates novel concepts and ICT artifacts towards the support of emergent collaboration. Besides the discovery of potential organizational effects on the ability to deal with emergence he presents methodological implications for technology design.
