Hope You Had a Merry Christmas

The day's almost over. Snow is still on the ground here although the temperature is going up and its days are numbered. I spent most of today with family just hanging out. I found it to be enjoyable and relaxing. Didn't get much accomplished, but that's

What Won't Our Kids Ever Know?

A friend of mine just posted an interesting anecdote about the difference in the world we grew up in and the one our kids are growing up in. In his case, his son didn't know what a stereo was. He'd never seen one. Music in his world comes from an iPod/Zune

Slow blogging season

I apologize for the very light blogging of late. I've been busy working on the project for my latest class at the University of Illinois. CS classes really take a lot of time at the end of the semester. At the beginning you just have reading, homework,
