A quick note to throw some ideas out there for this semester as we’re all settling into our schedules:
I passed my prelims (hooray!) and am starting on my prospectus. Years ago, myself and a few other folks used the #teamachieve hashtag on Twitter to motivate each other as we shared our daily word counts. I want to ask those folks to get involved again, but I think it would be cool to have as a bigger endeavor too. So if you want in, let me know (or just start tweeting!)
I’m going to the iConference in Berlin this March. I had an absolutely amazing time with my colleagues at ALISE, and I wanted to see if anyone will be at the iConference and is interested in going for a meal or beverage with me!
I’m really wanting to do some arts-based research lately, but need some inspiration. Does anyone want to do a Google Hangout or Facebook group or something and bounce ideas off each other?
Happy Spring semester!!

Count me in. Am looking to incorporate photography into my research for ye olde dissertation!
Awesome on all fronts! Maybe we can spread the word and organize a coffee meetup/brainstorming session this semester?
