So when I started this blog I was under the impression that it would be possible to remain anonymous. I decided I wouldn't write directly about my research, only about my process. The metadata. I don't really think this will work anymore, as I feel like I can't talk about my research without talking about my research.
That being said I work in an itty bitty teeny field (or it feels like that sometimes) were everybody knows everybody else. In addition to that, there are 'intellectual property' issues that could become a problem (i.e. if for some reason I have an idea and I post it here, who knows were it would end up— someone else's dissertation?!? or, worse another blog posting which misrepresents my field?!! or wikipedia?! I'm kidding, but I'm not really kidding.
On the other hand, none of my insights would have been reached without conversations with others, reviews of my work, the hundreds of articles I have read, and the dumb luck of putting two and two together.
So, I guess how I will do this will be anonymous for now. And the research will exist as a side project to Figuring Out How To Do The Research In The First Place. If it sneaks in, oh well.
