Running user-testing on GITI by myself is no fun. How did I write something that sucks so bad?

Just reformated my Cognitive Science paper to MLA, lets see if Scholar picks up on it.
Fri, 18 May 2012 21:40:41 -0400

Google Scholar seems to not like APA

As an undergrad advisor's bitched about not taking enough hours, as a grad student I'm getting grump-mail about taking too many.
Thu, 17 May 2012 23:40:23 -0400

Its weird putting e-mail addresses into my pen's address book.
Thu, 17 May 2012 23:38:57 -0400

Playing with LiveScribe. Sucks having a cool pen, but being too busy to learn how to use it.
Thu, 17 May 2012 21:09:40 -0400

The graduate school lost one of my programs, I hope they can find it again.

Wish I could mount USB devices over RDC (the way I can in VMWare)
Thu, 17 May 2012 02:07:32 -0400

Now, I have to rearrange my fall schedule

The trouble with rural areas, sometimes you have to move a tree off the road to get home.
Mon, 14 May 2012 04:54:17 -0400

Now that I have taken an HCI class, maybe I should redesign GITI?

I think I finally finished declaring all of my domains.
Fri, 11 May 2012 00:38:14 -0400

Chris asking for a list of my domains is like crossing a border and being asked for documentation
Fri, 11 May 2012 00:38:06 -0400

Its interesting how Obama uses the military to draw upon a nationalist sentiment in his support for gay marriage.
Thu, 10 May 2012 18:32:00 -0400

Waking up remembering that you didn't include "deconstruction" in your queer theory exam: terrifying
Thu, 10 May 2012 15:19:46 -0400

This may seem odd, but I'm sick of hearing about gay marriage
Wed, 09 May 2012 23:35:45 -0400

Shouldn't be surprised at the outcome in a state where the constitution requires affirming Christianity to hold the right to vote.
Tue, 08 May 2012 21:25:25 -0400

Writing a paper comparing AI and biological cognitive categorization. Getting too close to "why are we here?"

MLA is so stupid. I have to leave images full size AND include them with my text. What sense does that make?
Fri, 04 May 2012 03:45:24 -0400

Considering adding pictures to my paper in an appendix, but a little nervous about it

Do gay guys really like penetrative intercourse that much or is it just what heteronormative society tells us?
