 * On her official website, danah boyd explains the reasoning behind her decision of styling her name in lower case. First, she wants to keep her mother’s initial desire to have balance, since danah balances, but Danah does not. Second, she does not see the need to follow the traditional standard, since it is personal.
 * On boyd’s website, she mentions her signature fuzzy hat that she always wears. The first time she wore the hat during a speech was at Etech in 2004. Since then, it has become her trademark.
