I am on a short break from school (after completing the
IT Data Communiications course on schedule). I decided that a break was best...so I could pack, move, and take care of other business without worrying about school papers and deadlines.
At this time, I am also thinking of the best way to proceed with some new project ideas. One idea is to review and analyze decisions on the HGTV show Love It Or List It. (
decision-making / decision support is my main research area). There are a lot of interesting decisions on that show - not only decisions by clients (who have to choose between (a) an updated home that was custom designed/renovated to solve some of their reported problems and (b) a carefully selected new home that would also solve some of their problems) but by the designers as well (who frequently have to deal with costly surprises, and so on). Maybe I'll put a proposal together. The project could develop an algorithm to recommend a decision based on financials or other logic. This could be a team effort.
