I picked up my regalia and graduation tickets today. I still wouldn’t say that I’m excited, but it will feel good to have this one program finished and behind me, allowing me to concentrate on more broad areas of sociology (and information technology, if I so choose).
Formulating a Thesis Topic
Last semester there was a faculty member who strongly suggested that I avoid using anything involving sadomasochism or fetishism as a thesis topic. As a result I began secondary topic searches on the topics of the digital divide and gaps in digital literacy. While the topic interested me some, it was not as interesting or […]
Social Implications of Space Travel
Recently there has been a bit of activity in news and media regarding the likelihood of Earth-size (correct gravity) planets in habitable zones (correct temperature) of their home star [see one here]. This means that the planet could potentially host human life. When considering that possibility I begin thinking about what would happen to the […]
The Uneventful Graduation
I have been graduated in the form of being conferred an academic credential a total of 4 times in my life so far. High school, two associates (AA, AGE) and my Bachelor of Science in Psychology. High school was a big deal in terms of a recognition of a terminal point being reached and a […]

End of 2012
I haven’t posted a lot in the past month, I suppose I’ve been trying to relax and enjoy my weeks off before returning to academics in January. I also believe I may be lacking in anything profound to post for now. That in itself may be a major change for me in 2012. I am […]

Assembling My Committee
Very soon it will be time for me to form my thesis committee. In some ways the process has already started by me selecting Vaughn as my thesis chair, faculty mentor and academic advisor. As I get closer to my final topic I must work to form my committee. I am having trouble deciding how […]
ExIf 35 Build 20121117
I spent some time working on ExIf 35 today. I got a large amount done regarding the implementation of auto-complete fields in both the main interface as well as in the add exposure window. This is only the third new build that I have produced since I stopped production of new builds in June 2010. […]
