		<description><![CDATA[I really owe some time back in this blog.  The Fall Semester was pretty crushing.  My Mom passed away and after that happened nothing I did really seemed to matter for many weeks.   I took two classes this Fall and I passed both of them with A grades.  Well, an A- in one of the [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Passing the MPR is a big deal. A wonderful aspect of the AAU system is that they admit everyone that has the basic requirements for enrollment.  Getting into other institutions requires jumping over the hurdles and the high bars that those other places put up between you and a seat in the first class.  That [...]

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been a busy Spring semester and I have a few minutes to think about this class.  I originally took this class based on the strength of the instructor, Shannon Ayres, and Iwas not disappointed. Montage/collage is a huge area. Most students attempted photo-realistic works and the results were generally fair – this probably lead [...]

The 25th year of SXSW may have jumped the shark as SXSW is now a &#8220;Spring Break Destination&#8221;. SXSW is over, even if I&#8217;m still recovering from working the festival. I&#8217;ve got two courses this term. GS 602: The Art [...]
