Greg, the Associate Director of Research & Development at Blackboard, is part of a new initiative there to start blogging. (I can almost sense the rotten tomatoes flying at the [...]

Tag… I'm it

By sleslie on February 16, 2006

Out of fear that I will have 100 years of bad luck, here’s my response to D’Arcy’s tagging me: Four jobs I’ve had – dishwasher – burger flipper – knowledge carpenter – strawberry picker (not in this order!) Four movies I can (and do) watch over and over – Taxi Driver – Cool Hand Luke [...]

Ariadne Decennial Issue Out

By sleslie on February 13, 2006

Northern Voices – The night before and the morning of

By sleslie on February 10, 2006

What can I say, even if I get nothing from the enitre conference, which seems extremely unlikely, having dinner last night with D’Arcy and Alan at Brian and Keira’s place (and making a new friend) has made the trip more than worthwhile.
