Who Are These Students?

I’m at the University of British Columbia this morning, teaching in a seminar called “Get Your Hands Dirty - Multimedia for Journalists.”  9:30 a.m., Sunday, even though I should be packing—I must actually care about this stuff.

Donna Logan, director at the new UBC Graduate School of Journalism, is speaking right now—telling this room of graduate students about why new media is important.  Blogging is the focus of the day, clearly more than any other aspect of what’s going on online.

I think it’s great that they’re doing this special seminar on online media—maybe they ought to offer a full course in it. (wink)

More as the day progresses. They’re about to introduce me so I ought to stop typing up here on the dias.

Overheard

“I swore with my hand on the Bible to uphold the Constitution. I didn’t swear with my hand on the Constitution to uphold the Bible.”

...who said it?

“Buy anything you want at the grocery store; cooking is always cheaper than eating out.”

...who said it?

“There are two things in this world that take no skill: 1. Spending other people’s money and 2. Dismissing an idea.”

...who said it?

“Violence is a choice a man makes and he alone is responsible for it.”

...who said it?

“Oh boy! Another great opportunity for personal growth!”

...who said it?
