new blog look

Well after 2 years with the other blog look, I finally updated my home page here. It's a little more "fancy". Let me know if you see any inconsistencies or if it doesn't show up correctly in your browser. One thing that is definitely different is the comment system - for those of you who made comments using the haloscan system I used to use... those comments are gone forever, sadly.

Student Caught In Traffic Rushed to Exam

Backpage Article Display: "Tokyo - A Japanese student caught up in a traffic accident that could have made him miss the biggest exam of his life arrived Tuesday at the test centre sirens wailing after police ruled his case an emergency.

The 18-year-old student was heading to a university entrance exam in the western city of Hiroshima when his bus hit a trailer-truck ahead of it, slightly injuring four of the 31 bus passengers, police said.

Japanese society values education as a passport to success and wealth. Studying for college entrance exams is taken so seriously that failure sometimes leads to suicide."

syllabuses or syllabi?

My syllabi, syllabuses, sylla-whatevers have been posted to their respective blogs. Here are the links for my courses this semester: CIS 310 (Interaction Design for Web and Multimedia), and CIS 450 (Senior Seminar in CIS). When this posting heads southward, don't forget the links are on the left as well, under "Current Courses".
