It kinda seems like many of my major heroes in life are connected. I am currently doing research for a series of posts about Leo Tolstoy and have learned that Gandhi looked to him for inspiration. Then Martin Luther King … Continue reading A Lover Of Peace…
How about that for a title, I’ll bet I got your attention. :) There are so many people in the world today that seem to think that every problem we have has a silver bullet solution. That means that there is one thing that we can do that will fix everything. But, some of us know better, don’t we? This is the first of a multi-part series about that topic.

Not Enough Teachers I saw an interesting article in the New York Times recently that says that students seeking an education in computer science is being stifled by the lack of teachers/professors.
