hi, i actually just stumbled across your blog when the site i use was down (crazylife, a take off of livejournal), and i began wondering about the differences in online blog sites.

hmm.. my advisor and I were trying to figure out if this was a decent place to be. (he claims certain tracks at HICSS seemed to be filled with people more interested in the beach than the research).

but the description of the minitrack is *perfect* for my work. and your kind words make it seem it worthwhile… so maybe a winter break in hawaii can be arranged?
