"Let's play
Twister, let's play Risk."
It's going to be a shorter program this week
because I'm taking Friday off and going to Monterey
to see my granddaughter, AnnE. We discovered a
Blackboard error this week that appears to be a
memory error, not serious, but annoying. This
has been budget development week for us, and for
many departments here at Palomar, or hell week, as I
fondly call it. We have tech news for you,
upcoming AT training, the Blackboard feature of the
week, a brief talk on placing your audio on the web,
and the gizmo of the week.
