Tyler Williams posted this . Too funny not to share. BTW I am in FL with family, visiting family. I know what you are thinking, everyone’s ideal! Florida and Disney World in mid-August! Let’s just say 9 years in New Orleans prepared us for the heat and humidity. (It’s true […]
It was rainy this afternoon and evening but we had a great time at Funland with the kids. And when the rain ended, we had a beautiful rainbow.

Dr. Jim West has posted the 29th BS Carnival. In spite of my lack of posts these past two weeks he was kind enough to link to a couple of my posts. Thanks for all the hard work and a great Carnival Jim!
Last night I was the guest speaker at the College of Information Sciences and Technology’s IDEAS dinner. This is a forum for undergraduate research. In this talk I asked how we can or should use information techonologies to create commnunity within the Scheryer Honors College. I also challenge some notions […]
