Today was my last day of class in college, at least until I eventually come back. It’s also the day before my birthday.
I thought about not blogging today in remembrance of the Virginia Tech victims, and participating in One Day Blog Silence. Well, I’ve been silent long enough since the day’s almost over.
It was [...]

I honestly do not have enough hours in the day. I still have two chapters left to read in my QuarkXpress training book for Editing & Design. I simply don’t have time to read them. Well, I guess I could be reading them now. But, if I wasn’t typing right [...]

Here’s a neat video to watch that was posted in one of my Technology, Literacy, & Culture WebCT discussions: Caroline Ting: RAM. We’re discussing Ray Kurzweil’s The Singularity is Near: When Humans Transcend Biology. So, the video definitely goes along with that.
