I was recently at a higher education conference for academic advisors where every time the campus tech support office personnel were referenced, they were called “tech guys.”
For example: “Our tech guys are going to be configuring our database.”
I was asked to be on a technology panel on academic advising and Web 2.0 technologies. […]
I was sifting through my web site statistics when I found yet another inbound link from a hate-spewing, neo-nazi, white supremacist website. It’s the type of thing that happens when word gets out that yet another Swiss-German, anti-racist, feminist, ally, man is blogging about social justice issues. The white supremacists link to your site […]
Pat Buchanan must have been huffing bleach and/or starch when he wrote this post on his blog. I usually reserve my inner monologues for posts in response to a comment. However, PJB’s post deserves a bit of commentary. (I’ve clipped only a portion of his white supremacist musings.)

I was in Waldo Hall about a month ago when I came upon a larger version of this poster. I’m a fan of inverted black and white posters as they remind me of my graphic design days in Chicago.
The poster was advertising a community forum to discuss “isms in media.” I moved a little […]
Many of you have heard me reference the fact that I grew up on an acreage in Iowa. Here are a few relevant stats:
Animals (while I was growing up): hogs, chickens, cats, horses, and dogs
Road surface: gravel (one mile to a paved road)
Nearest neighbor: one mile
Sides of the property surrounded by corn fields: 4
Nearest […]
My alma mater, the University of Northern Iowa, had a scare today on campus. Thankfully, nothing happened and the UNI Alert system seems to have worked fairly well.
University of Northern Iowa officials have locked down Dancer Hall on campus because a male made several threatening text messages to a female Dancer resident, indicating […]
