I’m putting this in the journal just in case a year from now this works out. I could totally see us doing this with some services at my department: I’m happy to announce that a new member has joined the Outlook platform family. The new arrival has a long and formal name known as Microsoft Outlook [...]

What was on my mind 20 years ago? I thought about 2010, the movie, and space travel, getting through college, and getting a good job. Now that it is 2010, we don’t live in space or even travel in flying-cars (they’re working on it), but I graduated college, and got a good job. The year 2010 [...]

If you look at my Projects page you’ll see I added the teamsiems tweets archive. It’s a pretty nice, simple way to archive tweets. In fact it’s a whole new instance of WordPress 3; I’m starting to like pre-fab UI.

This is going to be a social media experiment. I want to share my experience as I cook ribs, and maybe get some feedback along the way. I’ll update this post along the way. It’s Memorial Day weekend and I want to try a new rib rub, Meathead’s Memphis Dust Rub Recipe. I already made [...]

Schools should educate kids about the world around them even if the kids get there first. Instead of dismissing social media as distracting or destructive, schools should embrace it as an essential part of the curriculum.

History Repeats Itself: An intriguing glimpse into the past of an obscure philosopher

Chris — Sat, 22 May 2010 18:17:55 +0000

Like so many times before at the dinner table, my wife brings up an intriguing subject, the quote, “Those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it.” I asked if she knew who is credited with saying it. We all struggled for an answer. I think I said that it was someone in the 20th [...]

That is cool – it’s the first time they’ve done it – but the really cool thing is how the world reacted. News of the doodle raced through national media and social media sources [...]
