A Sailing Adventure

July 30, 2008 –

I went sailing today.
It was awful.
Ben and I got in the water at 10am, planning to sail across Squam Lake to our rented cottage, have lunch with our women-folk, and return in the early afternoon. Ha. It was 4:30 before I tasted anything but lakewater and humiliation.
Ben is a pretty good sailor but [...]

An Apple for the Teacher

I received this glass apple today, in appreciation for my services as a
brilliant professor a few weeks ago.
My desk is really starting to fill out with meaningful mementos. I placed
it right near my Sagamore Film Festival awards for Best Musical and Best
Onscreen Chemistry. Don’t [...]

Help Save Democracy

July 5, 2008 –

I led a discussion at my office last week on the internet and democracy. Here it is, in all its glory: Internet & Democracy.ppt
Basically, I tried to make the case that democracy is in peril, because newspapers are seeing their business models blow up.  Without newspapers, who will watch the watchmen?  Answer: we all will.  [...]

So I just rolled off a pretty busy project at work, and I’m finally catching up on my blog reading. I missed a lot!
I was checking out Manager Mom’s blog, and I was totally impressed with some of the stuff she’s been putting out. This MILF is hilarious! I clicked through (from [...]

Delay

July 2, 2008 –

After my experience traveling into LGA over the last 3 months, I swore that I would never again take Delta into LGA. It’s ALWAYS backed up.
Then tonight, I was forced to switch back from my EWR flight. And all seemed miraculous. The flight took off on time. It was pleasant. [...]
