Comprehensive Exams
I hope that everyone at UNC has fun tomorrow with Comps. I’ll be in Davis, sipping a Diet Coke and hiding in a corner somewhere trying to get the damn thing done. Good luck, everybody. I wonder if there are any rules about posting the content after I’m finished? Just for the heck of it…

Got Serenity?
In good news for Joss Whedon fans, a movie based on Firefly has gotten the greenlight. They’ve even managed to sign the original cast! Great news, and anyone who hasn’t discovered this sci-fi gem should definitely take a look.

Cool 1947 Film
From LISNews and The Internet Archive, a “vocational guidance film” about librarians.
No no no…not that Hall of Fame. This Hall of Fame.

Mars = water
In an exciting press release (at least as exciting as scientific press releases go), NASA announced today that it is nearly certain that at one point Mars had significant amounts of water.
And water, as we know, equals life. Nearly every aquatic environment on earth has some life…extremophiles abound, dealing with heat, pressure, and pH as needed to continue living in terrifically difficult conditions. I think that everyone believes that we’ll find evidence of life at some point.

Testing new setup
Finally got the upgrade to WordPress 1.01 going…the database work was a bit of a sticky wicket to work out, but through my m4d php skillz (ie, combing patiently through tons of code for the ONE variable that was causing me problems) I was successful.
Will be working a bit on the layout in order to get the colors where I want them (I really like my colors, dammit!). What do you guys think of the new look?
And, believe it or not, this was actually related to a project for Open Source…trying to navigate my way through help documents in order to construct some of my own. Go go semi-useful classes!

Internet2
Check the news: Sewanee is live on Internet2. For those of you who hadn’t heard, this is where Betsy and I will be located next year (and for the foreseeable future, I suppose). I’m interested to see what kind of opportunities this may bring, since the intersection of faculty/students and technology is where I’m happiest.
