Sunday summary
A new feature on Sunday is a review of the previous week, in case you missed anything. Don't worry, though, if anything super-cool happens on Sunday I'll include it too. This Sunday I'm getting ready for the start of a new semester tomorrow, so it's been a day of mostly work.

Thursday, Jan. 7
Today's meetings were better: an all-day Faculty Colloquium where we share ideas on what we do in and out of class. I went to one on E-portfolios and another on using technology to work with students online. More...
Friday, Jan. 8
An interesting Friday night: Gamelan Galak Tika concert followed by a visit to the pricey, classy Velvet Tango Room. The concert was a bit disappointing, but the VTR lived up to its reputation for great cocktails. More...
Saturday, Jan. 9
