A small school’s BIG cost
Small schools (K12 and Colleges with less than 1,000 students) are accustomed like all of us to accessing email around the clock. We know email is habit forming at best and compulsive at worst.

Is Google Wave a “failure” ?
I cannot help but share my thoughts about all those who are predicting the stillbirth of Google Wave.

My latest read – Our Choice
Al Gore’s latest book Our Choice: A Plan to Solve the Climate Crisis should be considered by anyone interested in learning how the world can conserve resources with next generation technologies to reduce the globe’s carbon footprint.

My latest read – The Post-American World
Fareed Zakaria’s The Post-American World is an enjoyable read. Most would recognize his CNN show Fareed Zakaria GPS. He has also participated in the World Economic Forum in Davos.
