Welcome Back

By | August 30, 2006

I just thought I’d say a big “welcome back” to my readers who only read this blog when class is in session. If you’re guilty, just go ahead…click that red little X at the top right corner of this screen, vow never again to read blogs or to IM during class and instead make use… Read More »

Recently the college sent out an email to all students and staff warning about a thief who has stolen numerous notebook computers on campus. About a year ago I was visiting a seminary in the US where a professor had set his computer down in the lounge to use the bathroom and came back to… Read More »

My Name

By | May 3, 2006

Sometimes I’ve wondered if I’ll end up as a scholar. Today I discovered the answer. I won’t. Let’s see if you can figure out the answer as I did. This came to me when I was reading a book edited by Bill T. Arnold and H. G. M. Williamson. Then I thought of William G.… Read More »
