First post

Hello All:

I've established this blog as part of my classwork for MMC 540 21st Century Communication Technologies at Bellevue University. I've actually blogged before at http://pubguy67.blogspot.com/. I established that blog to help promote interesting authors that I worked with while employed at a self-publishing company. I had a lot of fun with that blog and got to talk to a lot of interesting people with diverse backgrounds including a New York Times bestselling author, an oceanographer, a middle school teacher, Michael Douglas' mom and a Playboy playmate. I ran the blog from September of 2005 to February of 2008, but lost interest when the company left Nebraska.

I've wanted to start a new blog for awhile, but have not found a topic that has a strong enough appeal for me. Maybe I'll be able to come up with something during the course of this class.

I've been in class with a few of you before, so we are all getting to know one another fairly well. I'm a Graduate Admissions Counselor at Bellevue University. I'm coming up on my one year anniversary at the school. I enjoy most spectator sports and am a fan of the Huskers, Royals, Dolphins and Suns. I also root for my alma mater, Drake, during the college basketball season. I like to read and participate in the One Book, One BU group that Professor Artz helps lead.

The photo I added in my profile is a few years old. I think it was taken in 1990. It is of Chris Street and I at the Iowa High School Boys Basketball State Championships. I'm the short one.

I also added a widget from Shelfari that displays books on my shelf at that site.

  1. Go Dolphins!! We have a Marino shrine set up in a corner of the house. We are season ticket holders, finally worth the drive down from Orlando again

  2. Sweet! I'm looking forward to the start of the season as well. The Dolphins have the toughest schedule in the league this year, but I'm hopeful they can make it back to the playoffs.
