SearchResearch: Two weeks off…. but not really…

SearchResearch: Two weeks off…. but not really… Dan Russell

These are complicated days, and it's unclear what or who's in control...



From the Apollo Operations Handbook Block II Spacecraft (October 15, 1969).
This is a truly complicated user interface. P/C NASA


Between the drama of the US election, the issues with COVID-19, various economic issues, wildfires in California, and yet-another hurricane about to land in Louisiana, the next couple of weeks are going to be busy.

So I'm declaring a two-week mini-holiday from SRS Challenges.

But don't look away.

Over the next two weeks we won't have our usual Challenge + Answer, but I'll be writing up a couple of posts and making a couple of videos that don't quite fit into the normal SRS narrative. In most cases, these are things I've wanted to write about, but didn't quite have the time. I think you'll enjoy these posts--I hope they appeal to your SRS curiosity.

And, of course, if you have something that you'd like me to write about, please leave me a note in the blog comments below or email me directly.


See you online in some new posts!

I study the way people search and research. I guess that makes me an anthropologist of search. While I work at Google, my blog and G+ posts reflects my own thoughts and not those of my employer. I am FIA's Future-ist in Residence. More »
