CASE Currents covers ‘Fear and Loathing in Web 2.0’

Hard to believe I haven’t already pointed readers to Fear and Loathing in Web 2.0, an article published in the September 2007 issue of CASE Currents. Especially since I’m quoted in the story, and rather prominently.

No matter. You’ve probably already seen it at Karine’s blog, or College Web Guy’s, or Andy Shaindlin’s, or over at templatedata. So I’m posting a link, too, just for the record.

Read it soon before it goes away (which happens by the end of October, I’m told). And note that Karine and Andy S. are also quoted in the piece. Aren’t we three quite the web 2.0 gurus? Just goes to prove the veracity of a statement by the late, great Hunter S. Thompson*:

When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.

I’m not speaking for Karine or the other Andy, just for present company.

* The Currents article title derives its name from a couple of famous HST books.

No land speed record for us

For readers following our students’ attempt to set a new collegiate land-speed record, I have sad news to report: The team came up short. But they logged the third-fastest collegiate time ever. Not too shabby, if you ask me. Intrepid UMR blogger Lance Feyh wrapped up his series of reports from Battle Mountain, Nev., Saturday night, and should be back in the Central Time Zone by now.
