Thesis update

Movin’ right along. I’ve spent most of my waking hours on my thesis paper so blogging has been light here. TT just said something profound and I thought I’d share it.
When I came to her with an editorial problem, she suggested that I take an entire section of the paper, move it to another place [...]

Money! Sex! Power!

According to [sex] a recent study, people who [money] read
web pages do so [power] in an “F” pattern. If they read
anything
at
all,
they
[sex]
read
the
first paragraph and [money] then move quickly down the page
– two swipes in a horizontal [power] scan followed by one in a
vertical
scan.
I find
this
difficult
[sex] to
believe,
but
then
[money]
again,
science
never
[more sex]
lies.
I’d write more here but I’ve probably already lost you.

American Rock, Very Well.

[More recycling from my REL/POL class...]
The Norman Rockwell “Four Freedoms” paintings illustrate the ideals that Roosevelt had espoused in his 1941 address: Freedom of speech, freedom to worship, freedom from want and freedom from fear.
In the frame we see a working man (complete with his blue flannel collar) speaking out on an issue while older [...]

You had mail

I check my email about 900 times a day… Most of today I’ve been seeing this:
Server Error
Gmail is temporarily unavailable. Cross your fingers and try again in a few minutes. We’re sorry for the inconvenience.

The Time of My Life

Did you remember to “spring forward?” Daylight Savings Time is upon us. All of the stuff in my house that is programmed to jump forward an hour did so during the night. Well, almost all of them.
My Cingular phone didn’t change so I turned it off and turned it on again. No joy. I checked [...]

April Fools

Just a friendly reminder: today is April Fools Day. Don’t believe anything you read on the Internet today — including this friendly reminder.

Whoa. Did I just BLOW YOUR MIND?
I gots the dialectical skillz.
