It's nice to see the face of the Earth after dropping off of it so long ago.... So, what have I been up to? Mostly school and church (aside from the obvious busyness of parenting.)
On the school front, me and my colleagues just submitted a very large paper for the Journal of Visual Languages and Computing (JVLC) today. I've been collaborating with two other students, two professors, and two industry experts for a grand total of 7 people! The paper is about how one can avoid breakdowns in the Cognitive Dimensions framework when using it to analyze a visual language one is developing.
On the church front I have been very involved in the Family Foundations group: from leading and helping lead worship to starting two small groups and continuing to plan the monthly BBQ and Hangout. (Family Foundations is an "interaction group" for a parents of small children.)
This past weekend was very nice. We went to Don and Susan Hoffman's for the third year in a row (Lisa has three years more than that.) Once again, they were very gracious hosts. We all went to Cooper Spur for an excellent Thanksgiving dinner and returned back to the Hoffmans for a big fire and good pie. Overall, the weekend was very relaxing--except for waking up at 3:00 AM to go shopping the day after Thanksgiving and staying up until 2:00 AM on Saturday night working on the JVLC paper.
So, what have you been up to? It seems my blog hasn't been the only silent one. ;-)
