My Blog

As folks who know me are well aware, it is no secret I am Southern. I love the South. It is my home and I am proud of it. I do know we have certain attitudes though, and we are not without blemish. This blog post was a long time coming. It had its genesis in a Southern Sociology class I audited years ago, something about our local gossip and skeletons in the closet of the South. Read: Gossip, the divided South and closets full of skeletons with missing keys

Magic Stream

Magic Stream is a multi-faceted literary e-zine, mental health, self-help and wellness resource. The primary focus is on personal growth and the universal in human emotion. With a mind/body focus, emotional fitness is approached in much the same way as physical fitness and very frequently in a like manner, since the two are so inextricably related. Among the earliest online self-help resources, I started Magic Stream in 1994. All considered, I was pretty slow bringing the site onto Facebook, but a Magic Stream Community Page is the most recent Magic Stream upgrade. Check it out.

 

Space

Despite myself, I can't seem to keep my hands out of space. I've been doing some public relations work with the Star Voyager Group. While I was variously inconvenienced, some of the members of the group got together and wrote a book. I'm not joking, The Star Voyager Roadmap, or How to Develop the Solar System and Beyond: A Roadmap to Interstellar Space is a 100 year practical plan of research and development, working toward interstellar space exploration. I got back just in time to help with the press release. Star Voyager is under the auspices of the Leeward Space Foundation. Their directives are to: raise money, promote space research, finance space missions, support space exploration and colonization and encourage educational programs related to space exploration and astronomy.

Ares Quarterly Progress Report #16

This was the last video the Ares Video Outreach Group (of which I was a part) produced before we were dispersed, along with the other Ares RIFs. This was very much a team effort. As with the previous Ares Quarterly Video Updates, my part was collecting and verifying the technical details and information for the Ares First Stage footage.

Examiner.com Columns

Examiner.com is in the middle of a major site upgrade, and some of my columns may be down for a while in the transistion. The site, links and articles should all be back up and in order in just a few more days. In the meantime though, I cover Exploring Huntsville, a what's going on in the neighborhood kind of thing. I also do another column that focuses on issues of race and ethnicity.

Some of my articles include:
-- What is STEM? Why is it important?
-- Why is Huntsville called "the Rocket City?"
-- Huntsville Space Professionals Job Fair.

Writing a Research Paper Presentation

Recently, I spoke on "Writing a Research Paper" to one of the English Classes at Virginia College. I taught there for right at five years, so it was a lot of fun to go back and visit. Here are copies of my presentation and the handout:
