Dog and cat mischeif

Announcements No Comments »

I just witnessed something that I almost could not believe. I witnessed my two adult cats and puppy beagle work together to get to a bag of treats. The cats pushed the bag off the table while the puppy ripped apart the bag. Afterwards, they all ate treats! Are we sure that we are the most intelligent species?

Albert’s Gone Mac

Announcements No Comments »

Well, it was bound to happen sooner or later. I have gone Mac… well, not really, I am still going to be using Windows/PC machines frequently. I have a Macbook Pro, which was purchased as part of my contract at UNCW. So far, so good. It has a sheik, clean cover with key lights and an excellent display. It has a large hard drive, tons of RAM, and serious processing power, though, I have not put it to the test quite yet ;-) I am re-learning basic ICT literacy skills as I haven’t work regularly on a Mac for about 6-years.

Anyway, I am very excited about it. I am going to force myself to use it these next few weeks (aside from statistical processing) to become a proficient user. I will report on my findings. :-)

Moved to Wilmington, NC

Well, my move to Wilmington, NC is complete. I moved in on Saturday (7/5). I am still exploring the region. The area is somewhat different than what I am used to. All things equal, I like the area thus far. I am hoping to establish relationships with some of the local schools and educational organizations to pursue some of my professional goals. That’s all for now.
