sorta done

Jan 6, 2007 //


Ok quick review on things:

Done Items:

  • applications for PhD programs – Check. Cornell, NYU, and Columbia are all in. I just confirmed that Cornell has all my materials. So things are good there.
  • redesign for WordPress – Check. Things seem to finally be holding together and the Frank Cost youTube isn’t blowing the page out anymore. I also upgraded WordPress. I have to say that, plus the new version of Firefox is a great combination (in particular FireFox’s built in spell checking).
  • Finally, got the PS2 hooked up again and rocked out with Guitar Hero. Drea rocked to. We rocked hard. Thanks again Aaron.

Mostly Done Items

  • grading – all but caught up.
  • revised CV/Resume – one last edit to go.
  • filing the past few month’s mail – just about there.

Still to do

  • Finish writing and uploading the rest of the website.
  • Revise my thesis for the next round of publications tries.
  • Get consulting gigs up and running.
  • Work on wiki research.
  • Get back on exercise program.

Still, Aught-Seven is off to a good start.

cleaning things up

As you can see there’s a bit of redesign going on. My goal is to get the site simpler and faster loading. I’m also going to be adding some additional content soon. So please, let me know what you think.

inbetween days

Dec 29, 2006 //


It’s Friday. I need to get my Cornell application in tomorrow. And currently I’m stuck. I’m trying to wrap it up and still feel like I don’t have everything together. This entire PhD chase is f’ing strange. It really seems like you need to prove exactly why you don’t need a PhD in order to get one.

I know that the research area of Citizen Journalism is a fruitful one. And I think it’s definitely worthy of anthropological study. I just am having a dickens of a time trying the articulate why. Or at least do so in a way that I think will get me into the program of my choice.

oy.

a momentary diversion

Dec 18, 2006 //


Quickie — I’m currently blitzed with classes and applications to PhD programs (Cornell, NYU, and Columbia). I have a redesign for this site in the works, but that’s going to happen over my Christmas break.

I will say that its interesting to see the reaction to “social computing” as Time’s person of the year. I personally think it’s a bit of a ridiculous choice — I don’t think it’s had an effect that is yet socially significant enough. That said, let me present to you what will hopefully be the next viral YouTube video. Here’s the Assistant Dean of my College and a laser pointer:
