What Does Tenure Mean
February 18, 2009 By 1 Comment
I recenly received the wonderful news that the college I work at had granted me tenure. For most academics like myself, earning tenure is the pinnacle of your career.

The Power of Parenting II: A Lesson Learned
February 11, 2009 By Leave a Comment
As any parent knows, teaching lessons to your kids can often be frustrating.

The Power of Parenting
February 10, 2009 By Leave a Comment
I recently finished the book “Freakonomics” by Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner, and one of the final chapters in the book argues that what parents do has much less influence than they might think on how their kids will turn out.

Minimalist Running
February 2, 2009 By 2 Comments
I would consider my self to be a minimalist runner in most situations. Although I like and wear shoes while I run (I’m not a “barefoot” runner), my preferences tend toward as light a running shoe as possible, preferably with a low heel (e.g., I run in Vibram Fivefingers regularly for foot and leg strengthening […]
