About
I’m a PhD student studying information science at the University of Washington. I mainly write this blog to procrastinate from doing research.
Generally, I write about these topics:
- Psychology / Social psychology / Sociology
- Social computing, Design, HCI (Human-Computer Interaction)
- Internet research and Communication
- Email / Spam
- Data mining and Information science
- Economics / Consumer research / Marketing
- Art and technology
Feel free to write some general comments/suggestions below, or email me about anything!

Hi – you sent me an email but I lost it. Thanks for putting the “about tag” up here. It’s good to know something about the person who writes this blog.
If wasn’t for procrastination on my dissertation, I would not have set-up 3 blogs, 2 websites and an internet consulting business. I love procrastination! Good luck.

RE: Writing the Blog to avoid doing research
‘There are more of us? You mean the mothership didn’t just drop me off…I must have… a). little more advanced condition since I don’t have a blog yet…or b). perhaps, upon further desent, I will be compelled to have a blog of my own.
P.S. Great reading…I am a grad- Clemson MLA…

HI! I just discovered your blog and I love it. I am an art director working for the advertising industry. As you might imagine psicological process and being curious is the abc’s to do advertising. If you ever wanna write something about why people buy things (like useless or super expensive items), relate to brands or how good advertising is based in personal insights send me an email. Greetings from Mexico.

Great site. Good work.
You may find our podcast show amusing. We have worked with teams in labs for over a decade. I guess you might call us field researchers.

I am a pastry and savory cook, and when I am in the kitchen I procrastinate, mostly when I can’t visualize my plan of attack to get all my orders/recipes completed in a very timely manner. So I will pick one thing to do, and try to grasp the four other items that have to be started/finish so everything comes out on-time and hot! I say that, in response to your ‘about me’ comment and to add, thank you for giving me great reading material.

Hi,
Nice blog.
I am studyin M(phil) Decision Making knowledge dynamics and values at the University of stellenbosch (South Africa), and there is a lot of interresting stuff in decision theory (and not too complex), especially some counterintuitive work by Gerd Gigerenzer.
I thought you might be interrested,
Thank you!
