No updates lately due to grad school, moving, and the semester winding down. My first year at UT-Austin was rough. The quantitative methods courses I took were hands-down the hardest, time-consuming, life-draining courses I've taken -- ever. Much worse than Calculus III, although the work was enjoyable (even if it's unlikely I'll really dabble in a lot of the methodology we went over). AEJMC rejected my paper submission, which was predictable since my results were weak and I submitted to the wrong division. Looks like I should have gone with the Critical and Cultural Studies division when applying rather than the International division. Still need to read my reviewer's comments, though.

On the plus side, a lot of this work will be recycled into the historical/background section of my thesis, which I'll start writing in the fall.

No real update here. I've been slacking on this site and other, more important projects, such as TNTR. Some stuff in the works to bring Michael Albert (ZNet and ZMag co-founder) down to Austin, which involves coordinating something with APPS. Been reading several books lately as well, now that I'm not flooded with course work, so I might try to get some book reviews and maybe some sort of literature out this summer. No promises, but if I'm goaded enough I'll certainly do something worthwhile.
