This is rather neat.  I rated a mention in the Woodbury Annual "State of the Faculty" address (page 6). I particularly like the note about working with all 'modes (and moods) of faculty.'  Thanks Vic!

Academic Support
The ... [More] Faculty Association gratefully acknowledges the great strides the university has made in planning and communication due to its creation of the position of Institutional Researcher. The university is truly fortunate to have filled that position with Nathan Garrett, whose knowledge and educational preparation, boundless energy, keenly clear thinking, unflagging good humor, and willingness to work with all modes (and moods) of faculty seem tailor-made for Woodbury’s needs and aspirations.

Well, this has been a busy month.  Rose came 2 weeks early, weighing in at 7'6 and 20 1/2 long.  She and Mom are doing really well, and we're slowly getting used to having a 4-person family. 

I've been able to wrap up a bunch ... [More] of projects over the last 3 weeks, and am possibly going to get a bit of a break this Fall term. This next term will be the first break in a while without extensive school responsibilities. I've been doing the full-time work, full-time school gig for years, so it'll be great to slow down and enjoy weekends at home instead of at the library.

I recently purchased a 2nd-hand 2G iPhone.  I'm incredibly impressed with the device.  The combination of a Unix sub-system, an awesome display, and WiFi (I don't have a data-plan) make it an incredibly compelling package.  The screen is quite usable for reading.  I read a lot while we were in the hospital with Rose, as the combination of public wifi and lots of time burping a baby were a good combination.

Of course, the hamstrung OS / Apple restrictions are very frustrating. I don't understand why they couldn't have made it operate as a USB drive, similar to their older iPod line.  I jailbroke mine to enable loading on a book reading software, and have been loading of Project Gutenburg texts. Only by jailbreaking, and SSHing into the os as root did I really understand that they have a genuine *nix box.  The idea of running Apache on my phone is just very cool. 

Now if I can just get the keyboard to buzz a little bit on each keypress, I'll be a happy camper. [Less]
