while i was considering going back to school, i knew i wanted to do a thesis. once before, in ’95, i attempted athesis. i decided on a broad subject (online communities & the music industry) but really didn’t get farther than some reading. i was working full-time & eventually realised there was no way i was going to be able to do both. when i found out that i had enough credits to graduate without doing the thesis (or any classes or anything except pay the graduation fee), i decided graduation was probably the better option.

this time around i was thinking about cross-cultural communication, specifically in virtual teams. i have worked in many virtual teams over the years and like online communities, they fascinate me.
