As the final class for my communication master's degree I will have to do a master's thesis or master's project. Some people in my current classes are already talking about different ideas, and the professor is encouraging people to focus early. I haven't found anything specific I want to focus on. Then yesterday I had … Continue reading Selective Theory

Concrete Poured
Today is another one of my photo essays on the new water main work on our street. Today's topic, our ditch is finally being repaved.

Standing Ground
People make a mistakes with my family. They mistake our quite good-naturedness for being easy pushovers. But just because someone is easy-going doesn't mean they don't have a core to be watched out for. I remember one of the most significant episodes of my elementary years -- the bully on the school bus that thought … Continue reading Standing Ground

This is what I pulled together. In some of her interview during the Digital Nation broadcast, Turkle made the comment … Continue reading Thoughts on Digital Nation
Winter of our discontent
Now is the winter of our discontent Made glorious summer by this son of York; And all the clouds that low'r'd upon our house In the deep bosom of the ocean buried.
