new printer, updated vita

I got a new printer for home last night. Pretty exciting, lots of bells and whistles. I think it can do everything except make breakfast.

I got the article submitted that I wanted to get done on Monday. After I submitted it, I sent the editor an email about my identity-masking issue, so if there's a problem, I'm sure he'll let me know. It's kind of interesting. I've never submitted to this journal before. Even though it's not as high as some communication journals to which I've submitted in the new impact ratings, I think of it as the most prestigious journal for what I want to publish. I'm not entirely sure that it has a good chance. I think it's an important article and well done on most levels, but I'm not sure. We'll see.

By the way, I thought Tim Levine's post on impact ratings and subsequent re-rating was interesting. And it was nice to see some of the regionals thrown in.

I'm working on a theory piece that I've been doing all summer, and I'm continuing to look at data from this summer, data that I hope we're going to work on during the next semester. Still pretty busy, but has a relaxed feel to it.
