Bush Says Hooah!

Today Bush was at Ft. Hood, and mentioned that it was time to give a "proper" Army greeting. There was an akward pause. Then he blurted out, "Hoo ah"!!
After a shorter, but still akward pause, the sum of the audience, mostly groundpounders that had already seen time in Afghanistan and Iraq responded with an actual "proper" response with a loud but gaurded "Hoo ah!!"
It must have been horribly uncomfortable for those crunchies to hear - it made me squirm hearing it on the radio after the fact. Makes me glad the Navy doesn't do silly chants like that, unless of course you are a Seal, but there are a lot of things that they do that I don't understand. Oh well, Semper Gumby. "Always flexible."

Driving thru Southern Minnesota

Had the opportunity today to drive from the Twin Cities down to Mankato, Minnesota. You can sure tell when it is springtime in the Southern half of the Land of 10,000 lakes, when you drive by the livestock farms that is. Beautiful country, with the windows rolled up.

Updates

I said in a previous post that I was the co-author of two articles about blogging. They aren't online articles either, they are actually in print!

Blogging 101 for Psychologists: A new way to extend your leadership, expertise and profession. The Ohio Psychologist Review, March 2005

Ministry in your pajamas - blogging 101 Corpus Reports, March/April 2005

Dr. Paschal Baute actually wrote most of the text, I pitched in the technical stuff, but a majority of the authorship belongs to him.

I am actually taking some steps toward becoming an author in the more traditional sense, so watch this space for updates.

Who's a blogger?

I suppose, now that I am the co-author of two published articles about blogging, and actually blog somewhat frequently at another blog, one aimed at beginning bloggers, that I should post more regularly to this particular blog. Ok, I'll see what I can do.
