Last week, Dr Kenel, Dr Montiero, Professor Boegel and I presented a paper at the Business Ethics Conference on the Manhattan Campus, Entitled: Immigration, Beyond the Golden Door; The Blog entry above is a piece of that presentation.

Lead by Example

I'm guilty!
I haven't added to my blog in months yet I am requiring my students to write one about every week.
Lead by example.
And so the school year starts!
Next up: the partial text of the results of my "virtual search for God."
I was delighted to see the NYTimes weekend section (Septmeber 5) lead off with "Playing God" and the discussion that followed on SPORE. That's what really began all this: Video Games.
To be Continued....

Seond Life: In Search of God

I have always been a "techie." I enjoyed gadgets and robots and machines even as a child. When Pong came put I was spending the few quarters I had every chance I got; when my nephew (now almost 42) got this first Atari, I fought him for the controller! Truly, I was a master of Pong. Then along came Asteroids, and Missile Command and the response reaction times grew slower and my nephew was quickly beating me at every game we played. Forget Pac Man or Donkey Kong or Mario, I was just not good at these games.

But last summer a good friend had me over for dinner, and her husband challenged us to bowl on the Wii. My life has been forever changed! We fish, box, bowl and swim with the Wii, and later this summer, I will re-live my childhood and exercise with a hula hoop via the Wii-Fit!

Yes, I am back. But for the purposes of a paper I have to write/deliver, I'm not exploring the Wii but instead will be taking a different route: I'm entering Second Life in Search of God.
