Technology has not been kind to this blog. iWeb is dead (I’m probably going to switch to Rapidweaver soon) and a transition with our web hosting has meant no updates of this website for years. I wouldn’t bother updating it at all, but the old info on my bio (from when I was an Associate […]
Long time, no update. Rather than nattering on again about how great current video (online and traditional) is right now, I’ll just update with a few examples of what’s impressed me recently. Better Call Saul: More of a slow burn than Breaking Bad, but really enjoyable. My wife never watched Breaking Bad, but is now […]

Long time no update. I’ve been debating whether to transition this site to another platform as Apple stops supporting iWeb (or just start moving the content to social media, which I dread). In the meantime, I’ve actually been crazy busy. In addition to four faculty searches (plus a split position with Poli Sci), Chair duties […]
It’s been a while since I’ve been moved to update the TV section of this site. In part because I’ve been too busy to update this page, and in part because nothing on TV has really grabbed me in a while. There have been a number of competent, interesting shows, of course, but typically they’ve […]
