H4T

My family physician has enthusiastically agreed to do the procedure, providing I give him good medical papers and documentation for the insurance people.

Hopefully I will be getting an RFID implant early next year! Can’t wait!

If I stay active and find ways to pick up a lot of hours with minimal activity (research) I may be able to get done at the fall of next year. If not, just a little bit of classes in the following spring and I’m done. Then the scary stuff starts.

This fall I am beginning my research by, well, researching interface design and implementations across the entire spectrum of the area. My goal is to propose a conceptual link between progressive interface design and a sort of “absolute” or “optimal” degree of usability that becomes intuitive for anyone.

Once the research is done, I am tentatively planning the lofty goal of getting and RFID chip implanted in my right hand for a research project in the spring. Finally I hope to get a large grant for the summer and build a multi-touch table finally. Only catch is that when I leave the university, the damn thing stays at the university >_< But at least I’ll be able to say I did it.
