Featured in lynda.com newsletter
Thanks to Laurie Burruss, I was featured in the October, 2010 issue of the lynda.com academic newsletter. I have consistently used lynda.com as a resource to learn more about a number of topics. I never cease to be amazed as to the breadth and depth of their course offerings. I […]

Read MoreDid I miss anything?
Most of my classes are online (which you take at your own pace). However, from time to time, I am asked the following question: I wasn’t in class last time. Did I miss anything? Most of the “tongue in cheek” response originally came from “The astonishing weight of the dead,” […]

As the AEL 2010 Summer Institute was coming to a close, we spent some time at the Technology Museum in San Jose. Most of us spent a fair amount of time riding Segway’s around an obstacle course. Yes, I did the entire course backwards at one point. I think there […]

Thought I would try a creative effect with the #2024Eclipse.
And it begins. #2024Eclipse
Scammers are at it again. Let’s see - not an Illinois’s area code, not a proper top level domain for a government agency and more.
Encountered this creature at the start of our walk at Forest Park Nature Center today. Our entomology group outing this month.
