"The future"
01/28/2003 Entry

If you're a regular reader of this blog you know that I've been very busy in the past few months due to the academic job market. Today I made a decision: I will be starting a position as an assistant professor in the Communication Studies Department at Northwestern University with a courtesy appointment in Sociology. I am very excited about this opportunity and I am sure you will get a chance to read lots about that department and school on this blog as time goes by.

I just wanted to add that I was extremely lucky in having had the opportunity to visit numerous great places and meet lots of wonderful people throughout this process. Although the experience overall is stressful beyond belief, there have been some great aspects to it for me. I look forward to keeping in touch with people from all sorts of places. Thanks go to my amazing family and friends, and to my great advisors and mentors!

Hah! Won you over to communication, eh? Congratulations, I'm glad to see you have landed somewhere good. Plenty of chances to experiment further in scarf-tying as well :).

Blogs I Visit





The small print

A few words on what I will and will not post on this blog (taken from my E-LIST entry of January 2, 2002). I have nothing against posting commercial sites as long as they come highly recommended. In fact, I'm quite interested in improving informed consumer choice so I'm very curious to hear about good experiences with online retailers. What I will refrain from posting are sites that require plug-ins or programs that are painful to deal with. Example: I will not post anything that only works with RealOne/RealPlayer as that program is intrusive and annoying beyond belief and I am not willing to reinstall it on my machine (it was hard enough to get rid of it completely in the first place) nor do I want to encourage others to have it. If your site has audio content, please make it available in multiple formats or choose one that can be run on multiple players (e.g. .avi).
