So, the Ohio Board of Education is having a contentious race between a pro-evolution candidate and an intelligent-design candidate. 70 scientists at Case Western Reserve signed a statement campaigning for the pro-evolution guy, which is causing controversy in and of itself. But my favorite thing about the race: The pro-evolution candidate is named Tom Sawyer.


Also, McLevy has Schnurgles. No, seriously. It's a name for the odd grunting noise he makes when he gets milk stuck in the back of his throat, and luckily, it's harmless. But so fun to say! Schnurgles!

Back to job applications. And trying to design the roleplaying simulation of the end of the Roman Republic for my winter course. :) Anyone have any ideas about how to design a simple structure of interlocking families for a group of 16 frosh, all of whom will be playing male Roman Senators?

Also, I note that Reacting, the simulation pedagogy group involved, has several upcoming free regional conferences to teach its methodology, including one in San Diego in January...
