Inkwell

Talk with authors, artists and other interesting people. Viewable by all on The WELL and the Web.

Now featuring...

Sam Gosling can tell a lot about you from your stuff. Not just your bumper stickers, or your car: The bowl of Jolly Ranchers you have out for visitors and your used coffee cup reveal much as well. So, if you know what to look for, you can understand others better -- their reliability, friendliness, openness, and more -- by attending to their appearance and their decorations.

Sam's ideas are backed by more than a decade of research, looking at cubicles, living rooms, medicine cabinets, garbage, and bedrooms. He shares his expertise about how people project their inner selves through their things in the new book, Snoop: What Your Stuff Says About You, and here in the Inkwell.

Hosted by: David Adam Edelstein (davadam), Bruce Umbaugh (bumbaugh), Lisa Harris (lrph)
