The Now: September 28, 2022

Changing things up on this weekly post again.

Instead of breaking down my projects by work/personal and then overarching category, I'm just going to list the top three projects I'm focusing my bandwidth on each week.

I find that I can only really manage three major "things" at once but what they are varies from week to week.

Here's what's on my list this week.

1. Reference Assignment Design - I have one more interview to code with the first iteration of our joint codebook. It has gotten faster, but I still feel like I am missing things. When I'm done with my first round of coding, I want to give the excerpts a once over to see what I missed. Also, we all realized that we have a poster due about our initial results in just a few weeks. We are starting the scramble for that. October snuck up on us.
2. Website Usability Testing - I tested out the script with a colleague and now I want to beta test the actual material and notetaking on someone who does not use our website regularly. Assuming that goes well, we'll start recruitment and testing. We need 10 students and 5 faculty members. We're bribing/rewarding them with Starbucks gift cards.
3. Condo Logo​ - Our condo needs a new logo and we're trying to do things in-house. I joined a small group of folks working on this. Right now, I've done my first round of mock-ups. I'm going to go photograph our building and then put together a few more. We're getting together soon to discuss what we like and where we want to go.
