After two very hard days I’ve returned from Washington D.C. and will be spending the day getting caught up on other business. However, I will return tomorrow with the usual updates.

I will always remember August 29, 2005 as one of the worst days of my life. I was 260 miles away from my home in New Orleans, evacuated to my in laws’ house in the rural upstate.
I watched the story unfold on the news. I remember cheering when I heard that the storm had [...]

It was two years ago today, on August 2nd, 2005 that the first “live” post on Plagiarism Today was posted. Though I had been writing for almost two months prior to that, largely as an experiment to see if there was enough to warrant a blog on this topic, August 2nd was the day in [...]

Anyone who has been dying to hear me ramble on about copyright and content theft issues in podcast format, need wait no longer. I did a very lengthy interview with my good friend Patrick O’Keefe for his podcast, The Community Admin Show.

This is just a quick note to let everyone know that I started a new job today. The position, though definitely welcome, will involve quite a bit of traveling. So much so that I am already in Mississippi visiting the company’s home offices.
Though I anticipate being able to maintain Internet access and, thus, this [...]

As many of you read in my previous post, I am a New Orleans resident and was displaced by Hurricane Katrina. Though I have been able to maintain my sites due to the graciousness of my hosts (my significant other’s parents) and their Internet access, it’s very likely that these next few days I will [...]
