PUBLISH OR PARISH
Interaction – why do we come to these places?
Familiar old faces, all aged a bit more…
Why do we do this?
– Of course some people like travelin’,
and building your CV and havin’ a ball.
And you did submit a paper
from a Masters student’s study,
It’s the same you sent in last year
with a brand new name
Reviewers scored it high and low,
ain’t it funny how little they do know
Rejection is the verdict we expect
Interaction – the life that conferences offer,
old wine in new bottles – a PPT OD
Doing a keynote
– seems like the final career step.
I promise I’ll cite you
if you’ll only cite me.
Don’t submit to HCI International
It isn’t really rational
unless you’ve got an awful lot of cash.
You travel all around the world
And a conference T-shirt is what you got left
…to save
Interaction
– complain about lacking funding
and never be envious
against those who are great.
Research assessment,
but don’t compare your H-index.
You’d better publish or parish,
(Publish or parish)
You’d better publish or parish
Before it’s too late.
STAND BY YOUR BRAND
Sometimes it’s hard to be a user
Using all the gadgets that you’ve got
You’ll have bad times
Instead of good times
when doing things that you don’t understand
But if you love them you’ll forgive them
Even though they’re hard to understand
You can’t live with them
Can’t live without them
All gadgets that we all demand
Stand by your brand
If they care ‘bout us users,
us poor old lousy losers
that seen every error message
Stand by your brand
if they got good designers
that know how to give a helping hand
Stand by your brand
