Still alive

By jlynch on March 31, 2006.

I've been quiet the past week for a number of reasons. While course & talk preparation and more general bits & pieces have kept me busy, a huge part of my spare time (such as it is) has been given away to activities related to hiring a new lecturer here at the College. That has meant lunches, dinners, meetings, teaching demonstrations and such like. On top of that, I have page proofs of an introduction to get through, and a final examination to begin drafting (or at least the study guide for same). All very busy. But I should be back on target and posting sometime this weekend.

In lieu of a Friday Random Ten, I will note that the Kleptones - those mash-up maestros who gave us A Night at the Hip-Hopera - have a new 2CD set available called 24 Hours. As always it is free and can be downloaded here. Enjoy.

Classes for the Fall term start next week, which means that things are starting to gear up on campus. We've been sent our class rosters, and lists of new freshman advisees, and have started to have meetings about team-taught courses and department policies and the like. And, of course, the new…
A ScienceOnline 2010 session mash-up review: Fact checking and trust
One of the many interesting sessions I attended at ScienceOnline 2010 (#scio10) covered the questions of trust and critical thinking. Sitting in the audience, I couldn't help but think of a mash-up (like on Glee!) between this session the one on Fact checking. Granted, I know I'm a nitpicky…
