A few weeks ago, I wrote a let­ter from the edi­tor describ­ing my excite­ment at the pos­si­bil­ity of emerg­ing technologies.

I described my new found appre­ci­a­tion for Twitter, though cer­tainly not an obses­sion, and text mes­sag­ing replac­ing nor­mal con­ver­sa­tion. (more…)

 My e-mail inbox was vis­ited last week by a mes­sage from the University remind­ing me that the Graduation Fair was fast approach­ing; as a senior grad­u­at­ing in May of this year, that’s a bit daunt­ing. (more…)
