I suck at knots. And I'm always startled by how often I need them. Enter iwillknot.com.

About TechnoTaste:
I'm Judd Antin, and this is my blog. I spend most of my time riding the fine edge between social psychology, HCI, and computer-mediated communication. I'm currently a post-doctoral Research Scientist in the Internet Experiences research group at Yahoo! Research. I finished my PhD at UC Berkeley's School of Information (iSchool) in 2010. My research explores how social psychological incentives operate to facilitate or hinder online cooperation. My research topics let me work and think in social psychology, sociology, economics, psychology, and communication, and to do fundamentally multi-methods work. It's my favorite thing. Oh, and I'm also a former chef, so that explains the food & wine stuff. -

I can only ever remember how to tie two half- hitches. I used to be able to tie a flying bowline in my youth, but I left cub scouts early and didn't learn the rest.Mostly, if its not two half hitches (why not a whole hitch?) just sort of wing it.
I'm truly glad that I have this history of the relationship between Dave and knots. I also make it my goal to learn the flying bowline because it's name is just so darn cool.
