Great Teachers
I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately, given certain circumstances I find myself in. And I’ve realized that in all my time at university (I’m entering my 6th year) I’ve had two great professors.

I’m going to start this by saying that if you’re thinking about using Twitter to communicate with your friends, that’s a job that can be done fine by Facebook. Especially if you have a smart phone.

My First "Zen" Presentation
I think it went well. It was scary, but once I started talking it was OK. Couple of things I found: I easily remembered what slide was about what, but I didn’t always remember how I wanted to formulate what I was saying. The slides weren’t balanced – some of them were up for longer […]
