What's With the Reader Questions?

If you've been conscious while reading my blog, you'll notice that I have started the summer by adding a few reader questions to my left sidebar for you to answer. Because I am a scientist, I love to collect data. But I am collecting this data for another reason: I am working on a book and would like to know more about who my readers are, so you can help me by answering these questions. Your answers are anonymous, but you also can add a comment to each poll that you answer by clicking on the "view" button for each question and using the comment section there, or you can comment here, or you can send me comments in email! (I promise I won't bite).

C'mon, this is Scienceblogs. "PC or Mac" is going to turn out a whole bunch of "Other" if you don't add "Linux" to the list.

i am asking about computer identity, not OS. should I ask about which OS you all are using, too?

okay, i changed the computer question to an OS question .. now you have to answer it again (sorry about that).

Ahem. Where is my high school dropout button please? rb

By the way, don't you/they already know which OS is being used to view the site? rb

using sitemeter, i can see the OS info for the most recent users only. i have not spent much time looking at google analytics, which is what seed uses, so i am not sure if this info is obvious for everyone who ever looks at my site. i guess i'll have to poke on google analytics, now.

Which animals live indoors with you now?

My jade plants are offended by your kingdom-specific bias and demand equal poll time.
