I guess this is a little late, but I really missed anything for St. Patrick’s Day. My Dad told me once that I am probably mostly Irish, so I guess I should have at least done something that day – ate at Bennigan’s, or something. Oh, well…. there’s always next year.

We actually just laid low due to the heavy rains. We live off of a highway exit that was closed due to flooding, but nothing came close to threatening us. Other than putting up with freaked out drivers on the road, it was a pretty low key weekend.

I have finally moved into the iPod age. I won an iPod Shuffle at a conference I went to recently. I finally got around to getting it set up, and I have to say that it is pretty cool. I can see why they are so popular. And the the big version has a screen and everything – must be almost addicting. maybe I will win one of those at another conferences.

Speaking of conferences, a proposal of mine was accepted for an Online Learning conference in Austin in June. This was my first proposal. So, this will also be my first presentation in an academic setting. The topic will be “Do-it-yourself LMS: Open-source Possibilities.” If you really want to know what that is, you can e-mail me about it 🙂
