THINGS HAVE CHANGED:

Since I am no longer a professor in the classroom, this blog is changing focus. (I may at some future date change platforms, too, but not yet). I am now (as of May 2019) playing around with the idea of using this blog as a place to talk about the struggles of writing creatively. Those of you who have been following (or dipping in periodically) know that I've already been doing a little of that, but now the change is official. I don't write every day--yet--so I won't post to the blog every day--yet. But please do check in from time to time, if you're interested in this new phase in my life.


Hi! And you are...?

I am interested to see the fluctuation in my readers--but I don't know who is reading the blog, how you found it, and why you find it interesting. I'd love to hear from you! Please feel free to use the "comment" box at the end of any particular post to let me know what brought you to this page--and what keeps you coming back for more (if you do).

Really cool video

This video from BBC is about network theory. It really has nothing to do with me, pedagogy, students--but I thought it was fascinating. It's a little on the long side (47 minutes) but worth the investment of time. One thing about it that I love is that models from the nonhuman world apply even to stuff we think of as entirely "artificial"--such as the internet. We are, after all, part of "nature" ourselves, so it makes sense that those chemical and biological models would appear in human constructs.

By the way, if you view this full screen, the annoying little icons at the lower right won't get in the way of the subtitles.
