MISQE Volume 3, Issue 1 is out. It's taken way too much time the past few weeks, but Vol3, Iss1 is finally out. Check it out. There are a few very interesting articles in this issue.

Big news! Last week I accepted a position as Assistant Professor at the Graziadio School of Business at Pepperdine University. It's in sunny Malibu, CA, my dream destination! The whole family is really looking forward to the move. Just a few little things (Dissertaiton, ELWC project, selling the house. . . ) to wrap up before we go.

Here are some cool pics of PU.

Not too much has happened recently. Just working on the ELWC project, my dissertation, searching for a job, and enjoying my family. I hope to have some leads on a job within the next month or two.

Also, I put password on the photos section of my website. So, feel free to email me if you want to know how to access it.

I did start teaching a course this semester. It's calle "Organizational Informatics" and it's at the School of Informatics here at IU.

OK, OK. I know it's been much too long since I put anything up here. But I have tried a few times and the system has been down. Here's the big news...



I'm a Candidate of Philosophy! That's right, I defended my proposal on 10/1/2003. I passed and am offically working on my dissertation now. I started data collection on 10/14/2003. So far, so good. I'll keep you posted.



Marcus nearly choked to death! True. While I was defending my proposal, Michelle was trying desperately to get a checker out of his throat. Thank God Matthew was paying attention. Michelle was in the kitchen and Matthew started screaming for her. She ran in and he was pointing at Marcus who was blue in the face and coudln't breathe. She started trying to get the checker out while Matthew called 9-1-1. What an ordeal. It came out shortly after and all is well now.



ICIS Bound I'm offically going to the ICIS Doctoral Consortium. That is very exciting to me because it was one of my goals when I came to IU. It's a pretty selective consortium and many of the leading people in the field have attended it in the past. Including, Brad Wheeler, Brad Crisp, George Marakas.



More to come later. . . .

We had a WONDERFUL time in Chicago this weekend. We saw two sets of fireworks (on the 3rd and the 4th), spent a day at the aquiarium, rode boats, buses, taxis, trolleys and trains, went to the beach, shopped, rode the rides, and ate like pigs at "Taste of Chicago". Check out the pictorial highlights.

Wonderful weekend in Nashville!! We saw the Beck's this weekend in Nasvhille, TN. We had a terrfic time. Highlights include the Parthenon, Baja Fresh, the swimming pool, a super park, Matthew's first rock-climbing adventure (he went 15 feet!) and a wagon ride through downtown. It also happened to be the weekend for the 50th Anniversary of the Corvette. So we saw about a million 'vettes in town. Very cool. Here are some photos.

No news... We've had a great week or two. Nothign exciting is happening. Just tee-ball, VBS, dance recitals and routine end of year stuff. I"m trying to finish my proposal soon and get on with data collection. Wish me luck.
