I’ve turned the corner on my paper and I’m headed for the home stretch… I’ll be back on the new tack in a few weeks! But wait….I’ll be heading up to the Harriet Tubman Free School in Albany, New York, for an interview — there’s bound to be some blog bop on that trek, you betchum ;o)>>>
BTW, this is my first post using Ecto – I’m diggin’ it!

READY ABOUT!… COME ABOUT!
Okay, we’re now close hauled on a new tack…
To date, this syndic has posted only whimsically and as the spirit moved. I now find myself wanting to blog more purposefully, if only for kicks and giggles, and to add a different dimension for my posterity to ponder come the distant future.
I shall attempt a more diary-like & Twitteresque approach…
I am now in the final phase of my dissertation: data analysis and discussion. I’m geeked & giddy because I have something to write about, and because I can see the proverbial light at the end of the tunnel… well, maybe not THE proverbial light, as that would mean there’s an oncoming train about to deliver a crushing blow, or that I’m passing on to the other side… no, it’s the other light, the light that represents the end of a very difficult task.
At the same time, my excitement is tempered by the mild sinking feeling I get as I thumb through my statistics notes and peruse the pages of the SPSS Brief Guide… oh, how quickly we forget! Fortunately, that sinking feeling is mild enough to be more motivating than panic inducing, and the challenge of it all is just right ;o)>>>
I registered an account with seesmic, today, so I got one more web-based conversation social thingee to be mindful of and to play with… we’ll see if it clicks eh!

I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say that I am the first to coin “ressaphobia” — the irrational fear of RSS feeds. Don’t get me wrong, I believe RSS feeds are the greatest thing since sliced bread! It’s just that I can’t bear to open my feed aggregator (Bloglines) in fear of the fire hose of posts I’ve yet to read. Because with each passing day the number of new posts on the blogs and podcasts I’ve elected to follow keeps growing, the dread I feel at facing those growing numbers increases respectively. It’s a vicious circle. I can’t keep up, so I don’t even glance at the good stuff I’m missing.
Shamefully, I’ve resorted to “manually” checking the few blogs maintained by my closest friends! What self-respecting blogger doesn’t actively follow other bloggers with rss? Maybe I’m not a real blogger…
