Facebook Got Me
Monday, 26 November 2007 9:56 P GMT-07

The Next Three Weeks
Sunday, 25 November 2007 10:40 P GMT-07
So it's after 10pm, Sunday night, and I have just finally gotten through a bare minimum for tomorrow. I still need to read the stories we're workshopping in fiction class, and I still need to figure out a clear idea of how I'm going to co

Sitting through several sessions at the League for Innovation's Conference on Information Technology, listening to people speak about the profile of today's student as a multitasker, an engaged learner who is used to doing many things simulta
The New Pornographers
Wednesday, 7 November 2007 10:10 P GMT-07
I love smart bands, bands that know how to use their instruments and voices, bands that know how to play with lyrics. The New Pornographers are just that band. The other night at the Gothic Theater they totally rocked the place.

Darwinian Replicant Meme
Saturday, 3 November 2007 5:06 P GMT-07
