If I was teaching a class in logic, I would frequently use the Chronicle of Higher Education as a rich resource– of faulty logic. Hardly a day passes in the feed reader without some preaching headline that one cannot get from point A to B without a psychic leap of thinking. Try this one on. […]
I’m going to leave it to John Ittelson to tell the full story, but I am a bit embarrassed to all my friends and colleagues who responded to my call for More Amazing Stories of Sharing. Like the wascally wabbit, there was a mixup, and the event at which this new version was supposed to […]

cc licensed flickr photo shared by Thomas Hawk Yikes, where did the time go? I’ve let slide the next piece in my now fractured series on using the custom post types added in WordPress 3.0. As a recap, what I am sharing is what I learned back in April (using the beta version of WP3) […]
