<\/p>\n<\/p>Its now that wonderful time in my PhD life when I have finished writing my thesis, it has been passed on to the committee, and I are eagerly awaiting my defense! After many years of very hard work and some good planning on our part, my partner in crime (and life!!), Fraser, and I will receive our PhD degrees in November 2014! My thesis is a nice wrap up of all of the pen-based interaction that I have been publishing over the last year. I must say, I am super proud of myself. Fraser\u2019s thesis is on gesture learning and I am super jealous that he gets to talk about LEGO and Disney\u2019s Haunted Mansion in his dissertation!\n
