Let's go Team U.S.A!

Later today the USA women's soccer team will compete to bring home the FIFA World Cup. I am not that big of a soccer fan, but I do enjoy cheering for Team USA in competitions such as these. I'll be watching the game and celebrating my country(wo)men. Bring home the Cup and close out this amazing July 4th weekend!

A "tax" on customers for donations?

When a company donates money to an organization, is this a "tax" on customers? Should the government be the entity to give money to (i.e. subsidize) these organizations instead?

Thinking about research

I'm working on my dissertation and I've been reading a ton of articles on game theory. Trying to get a good handle on the concept and searching for gaps in previous research. I'm struggling to find articles that discuss studies that have been done--particularly articles that discuss where further research should be focused. I'm not sure if this speaks the anemic amount of research done on the topic in recent years or if my searches just aren't finding what I'm looking for. There are a ton of articles I have yet to explore so I'm hoping my research will turn up something useful in the next few weeks.

In other news, I've been able to spend some time with my boys this weekend. Spartacus, my curious little boy decided that he needed attention just when I would sit down to work. Of course. He's adorable so I can't refuse him. I was able to get a lot done, however, so the weekend wasn't a total loss.

This week I've got a lot going on. I've got a meeting tomorrow after work and I'm attending a talk on campus on Tuesday. Looking forward to both. 

Website changes

I keep playing with the layout of my site. It will never be considered "done" so I guess that's okay. For me the layout is important while also allowing me the affordability to post content that I want to share on the intertubes. (I saw "intertubes" last week on Twitter and loved it so much I keep looking for ways to inject it into everyday vocabulary.)

The Main page will link to things I feel are important to my research and areas of expertise. This here Blog page is new and allows me to muse on things I find particularly muse-worthy. It also helps me remain focused on Information Management and Digital Media by giving me a separate place for various random things. I was concerned that I couldn't write about odd ball topics because they would be posted to my specific content blogs--which are places random thoughts just don't belong.

We'll see how this new layout goes.
