The "Born-Again" movement is dying a slow, miserable death...

Here's strong evidence (primary source documents here).

A New Local Federalism, and what happened to Local shops & media?

Props to JAW for an excellent post about the Governator's recent initatives here in CA.  Also, in other local news, Starbucks' plan to add 4000 new stores in this decade has begun here in Malibu where ou local Diedrich's Coffee began it's metamorphosis into another Starbucks.  Here's a great article that captures the spirit of the old Diedrich's.

Finally, last night on the way back from our Irvine Graduate Campus I listened to an excellent story about Net Neutrality.  You can download the audio to your MP3 player, or watch it online here.  I may require it for future MBA classes.

Why I love campus life...

One of the many reasons I love being a professor is the flurry of cultural and athletic activities. Last night we went with some good friends to see I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change at PU. It was a student production for a Senior Directing project. The kids were so talented, and the show was so enjoyable. I bought the soundtrack on iTunes this morning. I've been listening to it all day. Too much fun. If you haven't seen this show yet, get tickets today!

Want a Free Mac Book Pro?

 

My buddy PAV put me on to this site where you can "earn" a brand new Mac Book Pro just by filling in some "offers" from various advertisers.  My buddy has several friends who did it, so he tried it.  He got his new Mac yesterday.  Seriously.

So, I just started filling in offers this morning.  I suspect it will cost me about 10 hours and $100...I"ll keep you posted.

Archives are back...

A friend pointed out to me a few weeks ago that my "Archive" was not working. I figured it out this morning while procrastinating an MISQE revision. When I switched ISP's a few months ago the archive path changed (since I added another domain) and I forgot to adjust the settings in Blogger. So, now feel free to peruse my archives all the way back to when Fischler first introduced me to blogging in 2002.
