This is a pretty interesting article regarding options and alternatives that could arise in the near future regarding the cost of textbooks for college students. Sure, students have options that students in the pre-Internet age never had. Students can get...

I've been thinking about this post for a few weeks now, and as this topic has been blogged about over and over, it worries me that the short film (an actual project for a sociology class) is being misinterpreted. First off, this film was made by students ...

Yes, we are still wired, but we're gonna make the wireless jump in the next week or two. If you have wireless Internet service, do you have any advice

It's good to see one of my favorite blogs back up and running ... well, almost. Can You See the Sunset had been experiencing some technical difficulties of the computer kind, and it seems like he's back and running. Welcome back, and thanks for the work y...

Oh yes they are. After reading, here, that Ed Burns will release his next film exclusively on iTunes in November, it reminded me that Radiohead, a band I don't really care that much for musically, but have always appreciated their business sense and DIY p...

I found just what I was looking for. In watching a video created by a sociology class at Kansas State U, in which they were devising an ethnographic study of the you tube culture, I noticed that they kept using screen shots, but not just regular screen sh...

I spent a few hours at the local Panera this afternoon grading some essays. I found the change of location to be refreshing, and I accomplished a lot in just a few hours. The greatest thing I saw though was a bright-eyed sixteen year old nervously talking...
