Wired Science’s article on a Prius-like spacecraft called Dawn made me feel cool. Dawn is a craft that is very Green (which is saying something, since most spacecraft use tons of environment UNfriendly fuel. So anyway, I think it’s pretty neat that we start our voyage to a new country on the same day the [...]

I’ve started writing a post several times this week, but haven’t gotten very far because I’ve kept falling asleep or I’ll jump up and almost drop my laptop because I realize something I almost forgot to take care of. So what I’m trying to say is that you might not hear from me until we [...]

Three years ago, if you would have told me that I would proudly say the three statements in this post, I would have laughed in your face and called the loony bin for you. “I can run for a long time.” Yeah, three years ago, I was happy to make it 10 minutes, much less [...]

That’s right! You’ve heard of Web 2.0, you might have even heard of Church 2.0. Now, coming to a German city near you is Linden 2.0! I had a chat with David the other day about starting over; he’s getting the opportunity this January when he joins the Army to be a Crypto-linguistic (SOOO cool!). [...]

BBC | 9/11 Demolition Theory Challenged In this article, the fifth paragraph from the end claims that “The controlled detonation idea, espoused on several internet websites, asserts that the manner of collapse is consistent with synchronised rows of explosives going off inside the World Trade Center.” Several internet websites, huh? As opposed to websites on [...]

My teaching schedule for this semester is finalized! I’ll be teaching two basic writing classes, two writing 2 classes, and two literature classes. It is safe to say that I am most nervous about the literature classes, because I have not taught a straight lit class before. I think that it is supposed to focus [...]
