Thursday, July 23rd, 2009Sorry it’s been quiet at Population of One, but I’ve been busy working on (1) the emotions article - which is almost finished, so yay! us - and (2) my presentation for Interact 2009.
But I have been “tweeting shit up”, which, apparently, is the correct phrase when referring to the normal usage of Twitter […]
It’s the old “good news, bad news” routine
Monday, July 6th, 2009For the past several weeks, we have been struggling with coming up with a way of presenting the data-rich experiment that we did on emotional avatars. There’s a lot of information being produced when you have four independent variables (two of which had five levels!) and five dependent variables. If we try to report everything, […]
Interact 2009 paper accepted
Monday, March 16th, 2009Well, colour me surprised: our Interact paper was accepted. Hurrah for us!
When I read that this conference had received an unusually high number of submissions, I was a bit discouraged. Because our study is taking an angle that has only just begun appearing in the research literature, it can be difficult to convince other researchers […]
Another CHI rejection
Wednesday, November 12th, 2008Sigh. Will I never learn?
Our short paper to CHI was rejected. Some methodological issues were mentioned, although I’m a bit annoyed that one of the reviewers wanted us to report on an aspect that has already been done to death in the field and which in my eyes would bring absolutely nothing new to the […]
Next things to do
Thursday, October 30th, 2008OK, time to take a step back and decide what I need to do next:
Come up with a new idea for my five-year plan (this is starting to feel like getting a good Ph.D. idea!)
Get the questionnaire with Bonnie on the Web (lots of stuff to do on this front, including deciding on the right […]
Work, work, work
Monday, September 22nd, 2008I have a lot of things to do so I need to list them down and prioritize. By the way, this is a great technique for when you are overwhelmed and don’t know how to proceed. It really helps to take a step back and figure out what can wait and what needs to be […]
CHI 2009 submitted
Friday, September 19th, 2008The short paper to CHI 2009 has now been submitted. I’m not very hopeful that it will get published, CHI being a hard conference to get into, but you can’t get published if you don’t submit. Also, damnit, I think it’s a good paper. If it’s rejected by CHI, I’ll have to find an alternative […]
