I’ve been really silent – sorry

It’s been a crazy week as we run up to Spring Break (mid-terms, etc.) and huge amounts of my time have been spent chairing our search for a new tenure-line faculty in Computer Science. Several times I’ve really want to post stuff about the search (as a release if nothing else), but so much of that is confidential so I just get to keep my yap shut.

Sue and I both struggled with a nasty head cold last weekend, and that didn’t help, but we’ve both recovered well.

I think I can, I think I can, I think I can…

Currently listening to: “Road pizza” by Spit, from my KUMM show paying tribute to John Peel last November. This is a brilliant song from an otherwise less-than-pointless album; some of the strongest extant evidence that not everyone has an album in them.

Spammers using news stories to increase credibility

One might wonder what these folks could accomplish if they turned all this time and creative energy to more socially productive pursuits…
