Forever Young by Alphaville

This morning I watched a new Saturn Commercial — the one with Forever Young by Alphaville. It was so funny (sad?) watching it and reflecting on it.

Inferno

The temperature in our class tonight was awful — not to mention the humidity. Apparently, someone forgot we had class scheduled and turned off the air conditioning.

Just posted a new article

Just posted a new article to my web site — Seven Habits of Highly Successful Faculty. Wade, a professor here at Florida Tech, sent it to me. He’s a professor who puts an incredible amount of effort into his courses. Read the article. It’s very good.
