Finally Some Updates
I should be sleeping now as I am starting a usability study in the morning, and I need to get up early and double check everything, check out a camera, and get everything setup and finalized. However, I wanted to give a few updates. If you're reading this on my site and not from the RSS feed, then you may have noticed that I have given the site a new head image--I'm trying to go for something slightly more stylistic and professional than the old one while still conveying the casual feel of a personal web site. In addition, the ads on the side have been removed, as has my link to my Facebook profile--in their place I have provided access to my shared Google Reader items (mostly usability related). Currently the ads between posts are still present, but as I am down to less than $1/month on ad revenue (and after 3 years, I've only accumulated $26 out of the necessary $100 to cash out), I might be removing Google ads entirely from my site--I haven't decided yet though.
My resume page has now been updated, but I am now using my vita as opposed to a resume to reflect my more academic focus now. It also includes a PDF version of the vita, for those interested in a more printable version. Most of my other pages still need updating, but at least that has finally had a much needed overhaul.
In other news, I had two papers accepted to Human-Computer Interaction International conference taking place this summer in San Diego, CA. Along with that at least two of the three CHI Student Design competition entrants from Iowa State were accepted, the last group is still waiting to hear back (one of the groups was from the class I TAed and the other was from outside class), so congratulations to both of them. If my works-in-progress poster gets accepted as well then this will be the first year Iowa State has had a decent showing at CHI--which will make me quite happy as I've been trying to push people to submit to the conference over the past 3 years.
If you're interested in what I'm up to on the sociology side of things, then you may be interested in these two blog pages I've created for the classical sociological theory course I'm taking, one with my weekly notes and the other with information I'm collection on L.F. Ward.
