Mr. Me Goes to Washington

Went to our nation’s capitol, Washington D.C. Rode the Birdy all around town. Avoided uncomfortable run-in with G.W. Snapped some pics.

The perfect mode of transport… and a really big cement pond.

Old stone doesn’t match new stone. No one cares. Get over it.

Birdy… lit by the taxpayer. Not bad.

Not bad.

Thanks Amy for a perfect trip.

Believe the unbelievable!

In that I am about to graduate from IU East, receiving my BA in Behavioral Social Sciences (an event unbelievable in and of itself), I have decided to move my IU East blog to a new home at brickbike.com. What better way to inaugurate the new site than by celebrating an unbelievable rocket launch? I […]

IU East Students Brave Treacherous Circumstances

Monday, in the heroic tradition of the some of the finest post-secondary students in east central Indiana, several undergrads from Dr. Denise Bullock’s S100 Introduction to Sociology section braved a rigorous review session for Exam #1, held by… me. That’s right, I’m spending this semester as a teaching assistant for S100, and I’m taking no […]

Pondering like the polar bears.

I was in Chicago last week and went to see the polar bears at the Lincoln Park Zoo. I stood in front of the glass for about 45 minutes, watching the polar bear pair swim in repetitive, looping arcs, round and round, one clockwise, the other counterclockwise (one must have been from the Antarctic). There’s […]

A House Divided

Last week, I did two things I’ve been wanting to do for a long time. First, I finished a research paper I’ve been working on for many a fortnight; and second, I went to the Lincoln Museum in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Both experiences reinforced the idea that: in the course of just doing stuff, you […]

IU East Opens New Library Branch in Evansville!

No, not really. It’s just my car.

Sometimes, in college, you find yourself studying in some pretty weird places… this was one of those times. My wife is a development officer for a small college in northern Indiana. While she was meeting with an alumnus inside a cool, comfortable, air-conditioned bank, I was outside in my […]

Hmmm? YouTube Embed?

This little video should do for a study break on a warm summer day.

Back to the books (see previous post).

He’s outa here!

Over the weekend, I attended my first ever IU East Honors Convocation. Little did I know it was such a big deal. Let me tell you, these professors were stylin’! There were so many robes, sashes, and funny hats, I thought I was watching Harry Potter Live.

The highlight of the evening was Chancellor […]
