The latest barrage of courses landed yesterday, leaving me with a peculiar assortment of apprehensions equally daunted and eager. If last semester’s course and work loads took me about 3 months to discover some semblance of a routine, this semester’s adjustment may be just less; last fall was quite the adaptation experiment and I may be better equipped for this heavier load due to the previous achievement.
Ok. So, I am in 2000, 3000, 4000, and 5000 courses this semester. One of my courses is dominated by sophomores, while my Phoebe’s Field research/whatnot course has more professors in it than student members. Speaking of which, the first Phoebe’s Field meeting was a blast; I can only imagine that I will appreciate it more every session and being on the same legitimacy level as a tenured professor is both frightening and humbling.
While trying to review the wealth of to-date Phoebe’s Field information, I am additionally looking up a few more resources including multi-touch interfaces and mobile technology units. The best part about a research effort of this sort is the extreme (dangerous? maybe) levels of fun I am having. More fun to come, I assume.
And to start the semester off well, I had sold my previous desktop over the winter break. Yesterday, an iMac arrived at my place and the performance leap is remarkable. I truly. Love. Front Row. And I love this new commercial. Cheers!

I totally invented so-called “mobile technology units” years before Sun came out with it. Bah…

It’s interesting that they advertise 10% less power, though. Sun said that power usage was large corporations’ number one complaint about server technology. Why not have an option to throw on some solar panels to the units’ rooves and practically eliminate power costs to them? Alas.
