Objective: create a blog for use as a lab notebook.
Method: Check with Dr. Lamendella that publicly publishing lab notebooks is appropriate. (It is!)
Explore blogging services. I choose the service 'Blogger' because it integrates with other Google services I commonly use.
Register a descriptive blog name. Create a test post.
Results: The blog brislawnresearch.blogspot.com will be used to record information about research with the Lamendella Lab. A binder will also be used to organize notes taken on paper.
Afterthoughts: There are benefits and drawbacks of both electronic and paper records. By using this blog, I hope to gain the mobile availability and immediacy of electronic media while preserving the consistency and ease of sharing that paper provides. Or not; I might experience the inflexibility of electronic documents without benefiting from the easy sharing that paper provides.
