I dwell in Possibility–
A fairer House than Prose–
More numerous of Windows–
Superior–for Doors–
Of Chambers as the Cedars–

Here’s a tour of my own rummaging through these ideas, [...]
Writing New York: Posts from the Boroughs and Beyond
Published by March 2nd, 2007 in WordPress, drupal and plugins. 1 CommentThis morning a friend and former colleague of mine, Luke Waltzer, turned me on to a wonderful class project that he has been working on with two professors at Baruch College.

…I can’t begin to tell you how impressed I am with our student-aide’s blog titled Pedagaming. Joe McMahon is quickly becoming one of my favorite bloggers. He is new to the form, but not the medium. Additionally, I really like the images he has in his blog header -he’s a natural! For some good [...]
