BoI 0018 Chat with Professor Steven Johnson (Ph.D. `83). We chat about the Control Data Corporation 6600 running in the basement of the HPER building in 1974, being there at the dawn of the IU Computer Science Dept., getting a Ph.D. with a thesis titled “Synthesis of Digital Design from Recursion Equations“, designing the digital Logic Engine, and developing the course for the autonomous golf cart design (Embedded & Real-Time Systems, see images and videos page).
BoI 0016 Chat with Neal Moore (MS `04). We chat about Microsoft versus Apple, the word ‘informtics’ or ‘informatica’, and his trip to St. Louis to pick up his 1958 Philco TV.
BoI 0015 Chat with Jason Sisk (MS `03). We chat about what really is Informatics, learning on the Indy Vax clusters and pre IM systems (aka VMS Phone system), journalism, and applying informatics in life sciences.
BoI 0011 Intro to BoI Season two! Quick snippets of conversations with attendees to the New Media Consortium Summer Conference hosted in Jun 2007 at IUPUI. We chat about what is informatics, an EU perspective on informatics, and second life (the good and bad).

Chat with Kevin Erdman (BS `84) in January 2007. We chat about Informatics as Dark Matter, chemistry to law, and some computer science history (do you remember John Buck or those 6809 Chieftains in the basement of Lindley Hall?).
Chat with John Ellis (BS `99) and Phil Dixon (BA `98). This is a Skype call redo as the first take went down the bit bucket. We chat about ‘informatics’ being a portmanteau word, the job market for graduates, and a bit of Lindley Hall history.
The Skype call has a few short of choppy parts, just move on past them
