[?]I went down to the University of Richmond today to see Tom Woodward’s Blog Bestiary presentation at UR’s Learning 2008 event. Tom’s presentation was a lot of fun, and his ability to take the medieval bestiary metaphors and images and graft them onto the flexibility and possibilities for re-imagining blogs was masterful. Hopefully he’ll [...]

[?]I just got back this morning from a 36 hour marathon trip to NYC. This uncharacteristically short trip was instigated by a workshop I got invited to do at Brooklyn College (which was a lot of fun), but the larger reason for this post is, of course, the wonderful, beautiful city of New York.

[?]Last words, “Get your hands off me you damned, dirty death!”
Just saw the news that [[Charlton Heston]] died on Saturday, and when I read it on the cover of today’s Washington Post I immediately said, “Oh no!” Charlton Heston’s passing marks a moment for me, for I now have to cope with the the loss [...]

[?]I have to be honest with you, I have always wanted the folks at UMW’s school newspaper to look towards open source applications like WordPress or Drupal for publishing their paper online.

[?]I just found this series of photos on UMW DTLT’s flickr account, took me a bit longer than I would have liked, but well worth it nonetheless. Looks to me like the folks at DTLT had a good time making fun of my unconventional working habits soon after my departure. Philistines! Well, as punishment [...]
