BlogSchmog In the News Of Course

What’s a blog?

Boy, when I get untracked, I really get untracked. After helping BlogSchmog post (at least) once per day from late September through Christmas, I’ve had a difficult time getting my writing game on. Holidays … Bloomington Startup Weekend … a School of Informatics Unconference … Catch-up on semester classes … Spring Break trip to Georgia … and a great week of CHI in Florence, Italy … The distractions keep on coming. It will probably get worse before it gets better, but I’ll find some time at semester’s end to get my crap in order.

I’m anxious to get home to the family (I’m typing from the Indy airport, waiting for the final leg of the journey back) and get through a dense two weeks of coursework. Dissertation focus comes next.

I’m also in the market for a good summer gig, preferably telecommuting or local user experience research and design.
