I am tempted to call this my “blog 2.0,” since I started working on a
blog a few years ago and then killed it off when I just didn’t get
around to finishing more than a few posts. However, if you include all the
times where I started planning a blog in my head, this would be
more like my “blog 15.0.” All this takes is a little discipline,
right? I think I can, I think I can, I think I can, …
Why blog? Like most academics, I love to explain things. Taking a complex concept, breaking it down, and structuring it so that it is more understandable really is a great joy. There’s beauty in finding a great explanation, and (again like most academics) I like to tell myself that I’m fairly good at it.
So what will I write about? I am acadmemic with a “Computer Science Mind,” both of which influence the way I view the world. I am interested in how technology affects the world (and it touches almost everything these days), how people understand computing and technology, how people learn, how our education system works (or doesn’t work sometimes), how scientists work (computer scientists in particular), and more. Basically if it has to do with computing and thinking and learning, it interests me, and my background gives me what I hope are valuable insights into these topics.
I will try to write something every couple of weeks on a topic that I find interesting. If you find something interesting here, leave a comment or send me a note!
