Michigan’s in debt but they want to buy iPods

April 11th, 2007 1 Comment

This op ed is nearly a week old but I’ve had it on the back burner. Michigan’s idea is spot on except for the fact that they’re far too in debt to really accomplish this without making some serious cuts elsewhere. But this isn’t about debt or taxes, it’s about the possible future [...]

What a busy week!

April 7th, 2007 1 Comment

I’ve been extremely busy so I really don’t know what’s been happening in the world. I have spent most of the week looking for a new job as a Linux Systems Administrator due to current ethical issues at my current employer. If any of you run web hosting companies or know people that [...]

Let’s teach English like we teach Mathematics

April 3rd, 2007 2 Comments

Scrolling through my feed reader tonight after a wild round of Guitar Hero II, I found a little tidbit from science.reddit.com that wasn’t complete and utter crap: If We Taught English the Way We Teach Mathematics…. Beware foreign readers it’s completely America-centric.
This is incredibly well written and well thought out. It goes on [...]

Pop parodies pop, begets laughs

April 3rd, 2007 No Comments

So my only exposure to pop music these days is letting my girlfriend choose the radio station or play a CD otherwise it’s blistering death metal or dreary doom metal. But apparently, all those popsters are a bunch of fun loving folks and like to poke fun at each other. Alanis Morissette made [...]

So what got me in? My article on Semantic Web and education [...]

It’s finally up! I didn’t get in this time but hopefully, soon I will. Go have a good read of the delightful new CotG at Abstract Nonsense.
It’s a great read for this week as well.

Anti-plagiarism site sued for copyright infringement

April 2nd, 2007 1 Comment

Late last week, TechDirt chronicled an interesting article about Turnitin being sued for copyright infringement. I find this amazing. At my last job, I actually helped implement Turnitin campus-wide and it was a great success with the faculty but of course, hit a sour note with the less-than-original plagiarising students.
Apparently, these kids blatantly [...]

Woo, the weekend!

April 2nd, 2007 No Comments

This weekend was excellent. We went to our first concert of the year: Gojira. That’s why there are three different crappy pictures from Sunday of some dudes on a stage. Since we’re not allowed to take cameras in without a press pass, my subpar cameraphone has to work as a substitute. [...]
