That's why I had to poke my head in and say hello!

Oh, that's so sweet.

Raq, brenda m, and Deena

It's good to know that, too. I mean, I knew it wasn't your project alone, but until now I didn't know who worked on this with you.

I go back to classes and work today, which will be good

Go you! Of course it will be good.

I ended up getting 554 responses to the survey

Wow. Do you have any data on how many are Buffistas and how many bronzers?

Giraffe totally wins VS Hyena, excepting for giraffes in bad shape, squash court or no. They can kick in any direction, and that's a lot of muscle and bone.

For a non-astronomical sum, you can hand-feed giraffes at the San Diego Wild Animal Park, which I highly recommend, especially as the money goes right to the zoo. (Plus, giraffe saliva isn't disgusting, since they're herbivores.)

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

You MUST purchase during the pre-order.

Umm, that makes it the order period, doesn't it?

Other: 299

So more "Other" than both Buffistas and Bronzers combined. Do you have already any idea how many different "Others" you had?

No, not really. I haven't had a good chance to sit down and start looking at the comments closely, etc.

I'm not surprised that it ended up being that way, since the way we spread news of the survey was through LJ and blogs. I'm thrilled with the response, though...and actually a little overwhelmed. I had hoped to get about 50 of each category, and thought I'd get more like 30. So, my cup runneth over.

VW, re: the other category, I know I also marked other because I've been a member of several other online communities in addition to Buffistas.

The numbers are so cool though!

hi Nilly!

Happy birthday, ChiKat!

I wonder how many people got to the survey from whrere, how the information propogated. A few hundreds nodes is a relatively small sample for the usual analysis I do on networks, but I'm interested in the topological structure of it, and the time it took for it to propogate to the different parts of the network of people who answered.

So, um, yeah, I'm a geek, what else is new?

Oh, wow. I guess your topic is even more interesting to people than even you thought, then, ha?

Do you have already in mind the questions you want to check with this data? Am I nagging you with too many questions?
