Latest Entry from 27-August:

“Somewhere in the grueling decade of medical school, future doctors file into a cold room to slice open cadavers. The dissections supposedly illuminate the fleshy interworkings of the human body, but they also serve as a test of nerves and fodder for the next generation of horror movie schlock. I too have arrived post-mortem with scalpel in hand, aimed not at a corpse but at snazzy slidedeck. I offer the final chapter in my unprecedented triumvirate of posts about Blog Indiana 2010: an analysis of Jeremy Dearringer’s presentation on Search Engine Reputation Management.”
