OK, so after months of trying to figure out what I want to do when I finish school, I think I have a clearer picture. Initially, I thought I wanted to do a combination of things. But now, I realize that I just want to focus on one - and that one will most likely do many things. I thought I wanted to focus on Uplift, Inc. and The Center for Learning and Educational Media (research), teach @ Howard University, and attempt to create technologies and media that support learning. Today, I realized that I don't want to teach; I don't want to be stuck in a classroom. I am, however, anxious to do research and build things - and impact lives by doing so!

Mos Def = Mos Whack!
OK, so I haven't written in a while, but boy do I have alot to say. I will fill everyone in on the past few weeks, but first, I gotta say how ironic this particular post will be.

The best blog comment I've read in a while…
Do any of you know who I can contact to buy back my mortgages....if they are actually worth .50 on the dollar, I'd like some of that action.... In response to a blog entry on Clusterstock responding to John McCain's campaign suspension. It suggested other things that can/should be suspended as well. The blog ended with a requests for comments asking readers to post what they would suspend. The quote above made me laugh. Very insightful. Coming in second was a request to suspend TV advertising...get those McCain campaign ads outa here! Check out the blog entry: http://www.clusterstock.com/2008/9/stuff-people-should-suspend-in-a-financial-crisis I just love user generated content! … [Read more...]
