I’m excited to announce my first foray into interactive online discussion with readers. On Tuesday August 28 at 6 pm you can join me in a discussion of The (Honest) Truth about Dishonesty, and of course, whatever else comes up. Sign up here.

So, today I tried one approach for office hours

We had some complexities and a learning curve, but I think this technology has a future for such “office hours”.

Tomorrow at 12 (EST) I will try this again, this time with a different technology, holding online office hours with Duke this Friday, July 31, at noon Eastern Time.

Feel free to ask questions, in advance or during the event, three ways: 1) Post a comment on this Facebook page — http://apps.facebook.com/dukeuniversitylive/. 2) Send an email to live@duke.edu. 3) Post a Twitter comment with the tag #dukelive. Or write comments on this blog in advance.
You can also watch on Ustream (http://www.ustream.tv/dukeuniversity) or Facebook (http://apps.facebook.com/dukeuniversitylive). <http://apps.facebook.com/dukeuniversitylive>  <http://apps.facebook.com/dukeuniversitylive&gt;

After both of these attempts, we will see what approach to adapt….

On July 30th, I’m going to hold a virtual office hour 12:00PM-1:00 PM EDT.

I’ll talk about some new research that we’ve been doing and will take some questions.

I recently started using GoToMeeting, and I am looking forward to see how it works on a larger scale.

If you want to take part, and have a question that you’d like me to try to answer, shoot me an email in advance at dan at predictablyirrational dot com.

In case you live in NY and have nothing to do on 3/16 at 6-8 PM

I am going to give a short talk on the stock market from the perspective of behavioral economics — on the floor of the NY Stock Exchange

This is hosted by George Washington University, but everyone is invited and there is going to be some free food — so if you have nothing better to do ….
