via Digital Ethnography and the always hackable: A Collage of Citations.
This video was created by myself and the 200 students enrolled in ANTH 200: Introduction to Cultural Anthropology at Kansas State University, Spring 2007. It began as a brainstorming exercise, thinking about how students learn, what they need to learn for their future, and how our current educational system fits in.

I decided that it would be interesting to see the reaction from my students as I calmly ignored my computer screen (with their credit information) and flicked away at my new abacus.
I am ornery.

The re-designed AACRAO Consulting (AC) website is now up and running. The site uses WordPress as its content management system (cms). The AC site is set up just like a blog with posts in reverse chronological order and pages for static content.
The re-designed Albany Visitors Association website is now up and running. The site uses WordPress as its content management system (cms). The homepage is a static WordPress page while the “Blog” link points to another page that functions like a blog (posts in reverse chronological order).

My post on Gender Neutral Bathrooms was just buzzed!
I wonder why my post was chosen? I found out about Safe2Pee from a post at vegankid’s.
E-mail, voicemail, instant messaging, and postal mail are just a few of the ways that I can be contacted. Next week I plan on implementing a solar-powered carrier pigeon system…

Enroll-A-Tron 3042:
In what appears to be the first viral video aimed at Enrollment Management Directors / Admissions Directors, Frank Meester debuts the “Enroll-A-Tron 3042.” The device is
guaranteed to help enrollment management professionals recruit and retain students at an amazing 100% retention rate. The video is pretty funny and it will be interesting to see if enrollment management folks find humor in a 15 billion dollar, ductwork/old server-based, grant-funded, device :-)
