Dinner

Dinner
Originally uploaded by tsakshaug

Sometimes dinner is just so good, you have to talk about it. For Eric's birthday I smoked chicken wings, made potato salad and broccoli slaw. There were other things, but it looks good like this.
food is good

  this blog is going to try to chronicle how I use technology in an effort to teach and write more effectively. A couple of initial caveats:
  
  1. This blog is decidedly biased towards the humanities. Both because that is where I work, and because it seems to me that is where the greatest resistance to technology has been.
  2. This blog is also markedly Mac biased. While many of the hints and tricks I have developed work across a range of platforms or are web based, most of my work is done on a Mac. While there are certainly reasons to choose to run a PC over a Mac I find that for my needs, and I would argue for many in the humanities (the sciences can be a different matter) a Mac is a better choice.
  3. I am by no means an expert. This is meant as a place to begin a discussion, I hope that others can contribute their experiences, hints and tips as well.
