Low-tech stats

eve_primeToday the wireless aspect of my desktop computer stopped working, so I had to do all my stats stuff by hand. I spent a bunch of hours pretending that Excel was an adequate tool for the task. Well, the Open Office version, that is.
So far, all I’ve really found is that for this small sample, people who identify with “Greens or Radical Left” are more likely to consider their strongly endorsed beliefs to be counternarratives than people who identify with “Democrats,” “Republicans,” or “Libertarians.” This is not surprising and probably not interesting. If nothing else is interesting about the counternarratives, then maybe my committee would agree to let me drop them from the survey, which would cut its length by nearly half and (more important) make it much less visually daunting.
Meanwhile, although I had the ingredients, I've already fallen short of my plan to make a weekly Saturday risotto – too busy! Maybe tomorrow lunch.
