technical difficulties

well, my recent clash with technology has reached an all-time high. looking back through the posts, i just realized that my last three posts have not been posted, nor can i find any record of having written them on my computer or my blog-homepage-thing. great.
but anyways, things have been going fairly well with my project. i've been attending the two churches on alternating sundays that i'm going to do my participant observations at, and began jotting down notes. i've found that i can do this fairly unobtrusively if i try to make it look like i'm taking notes of the sermons, such as only writing anything when a new point is displayed on the powerpoint. i've also been in contact with my two interviewees, and am in the process of deciding a time for the interviews that will work for them. that's about it, i might have my first interview later this week, and i'll update y'all on how that goes. :)

  1. Has the idea about looking into the use of technology proven helpful/informative/interesting? Or have you not been able to find much use for it?
    I think analyzing the way technology helps spread messages (as in the sermons) or inhibits communication (as with your stilted ability to communicate over email) is really intriguing, but I may be the only one.

    I am curious to see how things go! Good luck with everything!
