Hi! I've left the original message below. I've changed the blog to make it another, hopefully less annoying way, to remind participants to fill out their surveys. So far the response has been awesome but I'm still hoping for a lot more surveys to be completed. Thanks!

ORIGINAL MESSAGE:

I'd like to invite you to get involved in a cool little study that will dig into your brain a bit and find out about the fuzz and lightning bolts that harness critique to create cool design. Put simply: I’m doing a study of “Critique and Design.” This might sound ambitious, but I'm looking for about 100 people to be involved (the more the merrier as they say) - so forward this to your friends, bump the blog, share it with your groups, etc. Please email me if you have questions.

FAQ:
Q: Who are you?
A: Spencer Harrison, professor of management.

Q: Why are you doing this?
A: Because I’ve been a Threadless member for years, because I'm genuinely curious, because I think you'll enjoy it, and because I hope to write a paper on it that helps people understand how to harness their creativity.

Q: Why should I be involved?
A: Click the link - you'll find at least 3 nifty reasons.

Thanks!

**Update 08/20/2009: Lots of people have signed up (yeah!). I still need more (ugh!). Surveys will be emailed in September - hold tight!
