How naive was I to think that I could post comments on every paper I read this semester? So very naive. I guess once I'm a real grad student, I'll shake that immaturity. Probably not. That's ok. Sometimes, you just have to roll with what you get yourself into. Academics are notorious for biting off more collaborations and committments than they can chew.

So much to talk about. I guess a little bragging for starters. Art and Mike Rinck were able to get the ACE going with German speakers, and that means all of the data I poured my life into at UW will finally see the light of a publication. They are submitting the manuscript to JEP:LMC. That's what I wanted. Not some science or psychological science publication, but something more substantial in terms of framework. That is what it really needed.

The other exciting news is that I may have organized some closure for Art's force dynamics experiments (aka, the lever). Maybe I'm just being naive again, but it may just be that we have the right design this time around. We probably will not know until the end of Spring. Sorry for not saying more. I don't want to jinx any hope there is.

Well that's enough for now. I need to make a post at some point about an interesting sociological event that occured just recently, and I am probably going to be the first to break this news in a way in which others understand the implications. More to come.
