I teach physics and mathematics at La Salle Univ. in Philadelphia.

I am on a mission to transform my campus from a locked-in-blackboard type of place to one that embraces wikis and widgets, and encourages collaboration and creativity by thinking outside of the course management system. If you have any success stories in which you've been able to get a huge inertial lump of academic matter to start leaking out of a traditional IT silo, please drop me a line.

And if you really have time on your hands, visit my blog FractaLog: A Non-linear Space for Students of Chaos and Fractals. There you'll find "chaotic musings about the fractal-like intersection of mathematics, science, art, literature, music, philosophy, politics, religion and culture."
