Jeremy Vernon

I am a technology professional living in Toronto, Ontario Canada. I work as a developer on a yet-to-be-released semantic web project.
I am also a full-time student at the University of Toronto reading Peace & Conflict Studies and Cognitive Science. I hope to explore the role of information, media on personal and professional decision making in arenas of conflict. Eventually, I’d like to develop tools and strategies to reduce the distortions - both factual and cognitive, produced by conflict environments.
I’m a hybrid programmer, user experience engineer, graphic designer and project manager. I maintain a blog on matters related to technology and politics as well as any ideas or project concepts that occur to me day to day.

Stop wincing, start working

Today, I will argue, is the most important day that my fellow students remember as adults. 9/11, for most here, occurred somewhere in middle-school. A hazy, illformed and underinformed event whose significance wasn’t comprehended until years later. (...)

Social Networks, where's the $$$ ?

Social Networks, where’s the $$$ ?

Many media sources, including MIT’s Technology Review, arguably a best-in-class publication, believe social networks (like Facebook and MySpace) are not viable businesses. Some go as far to say that social networks don’t make money. (As it (...)

What is Web 2.0 - and what this means for 3.0

What is Web 2.0 - and what this means for 3.0

I understand the inuitive appeal applying versioning to the web, it gives a name to a phenomenon that is otherwise pretty difficult to summate. How else can you articulate the combination of web-centric interaction, web-only business, AJAX behaviour and (...)
