I am I am I am useful / I am I am I am true / I am I am somebody / I am as good as you – Gloria Gaynor should have been a therapist. #
I am what I am / And what I am needs no excuses / I deal my own deck / Sometimes the aces sometimes the deuces – Gloria Gaynor #

6th International Congress of Qualitative Inquiry (QI2010) – Abstracts Due!

In case you are planning to submit an abstract for the 6th International Congress of Qualitative Inquiry (QI2010), time is running out — you have until tomorrow, 12/1! The call for papers / posters / panels and submission guidelines is here, and the actual submissions area is here.

After attending the conference for the first time last year, I am really looking forward to attending the same again. Thus, will hope my 2 abstracts get accepted!

One of the things I so liked about this conference was the interdisciplinary nature of the participants–educational researchers, social scientists, communications theorists, sociologists, technology researchers, nursing researchers, and many others who engage in qualitative research. Looking forward to connecting with old friends and new colleagues alike.

Anybody else submitting and hoping to attend?

Starting to work again; deadline in the morning. #
Another good sign; the restaurants are all packed. #
Horrible traffic through the Lincoln Tunnel. Making up for it with a pastry. #
I have been looking for stock art with Shutterstock all morning. Nice progress, but a lot still remains. #
I just generated my #TweetCloud out of a year of my tweets. Top three words: blog, post, research – http://w33.us/lxh #
Just put the bird feeders out, and already a chickadee. I love their sounds and presence. #
I just found a time tracking program that I am trying; like it so far. It is Klok http://bit.ly/haJl #

Working on a project that is due Monday morning. Have had a very productive morning. #
Can anybody recommend an open source time entry or time tracking program to record time spent on projects (per client or matter)? #
