Watch out what you want, #Apple is the same bully with the music industry, and will do the same with books and #Flash. #
Hard to believe #Amazon is being such a bully with Macmillan books. How ridiculous of them to pout and refuse to sell best seller books. #

Personal Reading of Transcripts

I am re-reading all of the transcripts of the 8 interviews I conducted for my research project, and am so overwhelmed with the stories that were shared. They are so personal, so strong, and seemingly so full of every element of human experience. In some ways, I feel I am peering into a slice of the lives of a group fascinating people who shared their stories with me for the sake of my research.

I hope I do their works justice in my findings. Perhaps the best justice would be giving somebody else an insight or idea that leads to some other action in service of research, self-knowledge, and advancing the benefits of a networked community?
