Misc. Thought #2
(Another thought from that same proposal defense. This was a fertile session.)
In my own opinion, one of the biggest difficulties in research (particularly in my own kind of research which amounts to “Oh wow that’s interesting I want to look at that”) is breaking into that really important group of people who are doing what it is that you want to study and are doing it well. It’s tough to know that these people are out there doing what it is you’re interested in but have no way to get involved with it. Contrary to popular [research] beliefs, many people don’t care about research. What’s in it for them? Enrichment of the field? No thank you. Even having done my own masters thesis, I’m not sure I would sit through a 30-45 minute survey and followup interview solely to help out that research area.
New things!
So as you can see, I’ve finally made a layout that is Teapot Robot-ish. I’m pretty satisfied with it for now so my next step is to throw some content up here. What I need most is a script or Wordpress plugin that will let me organize and display images (photographs and artwork). If anyone has suggestions, leave a comment.
Upcoming changes
So I’ve been messing around with some different Wordpress themes, which is why the site design has been fluctuating recently. I’m trying to find one that I can eventually modify into the final Teapot Robot layout but nothing has caught my eye yet.
Also, I’m just getting back from a fun-filled weekend of drinking, debauchery, and marriage and I’ve got quite a few new ideas/doodles/designs kicking around in this noggin of mine. Let’s see what I can toss up here, all the while staying on target with my thesis schedule…
