About:

I'm Mike Battista, a psychology student at UWO currently working on my Ph.D.
I needed a good way to organize articles, quotes, clips, and web sites that I find which are related to my research, and be able to access them from any computer. Since it's hard to organize my articles into simple categories, I thought it would be best to organize stuff with tags. Since blogs can organize posts with tags, can be accessed anywhere, and can handle all sorts of different content, it's the perfect place to put all my stuff. This probably won't be of interest to anybody but me, but feel free to browse.
My research interests include: all things personality, intelligence, creativity, intuition, cognitive psychology, parapsychology, and I'm just starting to get into the psychology of technology, the media, and pop culture.
