My Apologies

By cmooney on February 8, 2006.

Folks, I suffered from a major computer crash today, which prevented me not just from blogging but even from posting others' comments. It was a stressful, hellish day, but I managed to recover somewhat towards the end, and now I'm semi-operational again.

Anyway, I won't be blogging more today, but I do want to let those in the Boston area know that I'll be speaking at the Tufts Fletcher School tomorrow night. More info here. Unfortunately, I I didn't get to practice my speech quite like I would've wanted to today due to the aforementioned technological catastrophe. It's a new one and, I think, better than my prior talks, at least in terms of content (if not yet delivery). So for those who've heard me before--that doesn't mean you shouldn't again! I've got a new schtick...

November goals and InaDWriMo
Way back in the pre-PhD, pre-baby days I was in the habit of setting goals for myself at the beginning of each month and then assessing my progress at the end of the month. It worked fairly well for me in terms of focusing my efforts on a relatively short list of tasks, and sometimes even managing…

Chris, did you hear about the elimination of funding for the National Children Study from the president's budget. Might be just plain politics, might be just not enough high priority, but regardless is another case in which science gets the shaft from the administration.
