More Visualizing Data

I sent these to graph jams. I haven't heard back from them yet.

Here's one about something you might have noticed about John McCain's way of speaking to a crowd:



This one is for fans of the group The Pixies:

Qualintitative -- a cartoon

EDIT: I uploaded the picture instead of the embed. You can see the original here.

I may put more up as time goes on. I think I like the interaction between the two characters. Here is the strip blog link:

Real Life Dear Qual and Quant

I got a new computer, so I have been transferring files from my old computer. As I have been transferring my email files, I ran across an old email from a fellow grad student who started in my department the same time I did. I got this when I was writing up my dissertation. I'm pretty sure this particular email was a factor in deciding to write fake requests for advice from graduate students. Alas, it wasn't the only email like this I got when I was in grad school.

Title: Research Methodologist

Hi XXXXXX,

XXXXXXX recommend you to me. I am an anthro PhD student. Been slowly pursuing the degree under XXXXXX while working full time. I have written my proposal and find I am badly in need of a research methodologist, someone who would assist me with methodology and statistics, but also possibly tutor me in methodology/theoretical perspectives, etc, so that I may better prepare for my quals (this semester) and defense.

I have taken XXXXX's research methods, the first stats course, and a qualitative research methods over in soc. Alas, I am still stupid in this area and would like to be able to study with/pick the brain of someone knowledgeable. I will continue to be stupid in this area (and fortunately do not plan on working in academe), but in the meanwhile, would like to understand what I am doing with my research...and improve upon it.

I will be submitting my proposal to XXXX in the next few weeks to complete my "I" in his class.

Meanwhile, would you be interested/have the time to work with me? If so, I am interested in your fees/availability. If not, might you know someone who would be? Feel free to call me or email.

Thank you for considering,
XXXXXXX
