Graduation Day at Bluffton University!

I just got home from graduation today at Bluffton University! I received my Masters degree in business administration after 2 years of hard work with some great classmates. I can’t wait to have my Tuesday nites back! I am already looking forward to spending more time with Amber, more time blogging and enjoying some more video games.

I am also looking forward to teaching my first class this fall at Bluffton. I will be teaching a business course, Introduction to Information Systems, It is a 300 level course which meets two days a week. It is really great because the class content hooks into my daily job at Bluffton as well and it is highly applicable to the real world. I hope the students will enjoy it. I need to start soliciting for textbooks from the publishers so that I can find the right one to use. I don’t think I will be able to to make a major change in text books but I hope that by the next time I teach a course I can use something digital and or open source!

Josh Status Update

I hope at least someone enjoyed my April fools joke rickrolling you via a Trillian Astra download link.  In all seriousness I am looking forward to the release of Trillian Astra, and wish I could get in on the Alpha right now.  I’d pony up for Trillian Pro but I don’t feel like repaying when Astra is released and no upgrade path has been announced to my knowledge.  If you are with Trillian and want another tablet tester drop me a line!

Updates may be sparse or less lengthy as I pull into the homestretch of my MBA program at Bluffton University.  I will be wrapping up my final class on April 29th and cannot wait!  April 29th is also the same day that GTA 4 comes out so I’ll be taking the 30th off to get knee deep in Liberty City.

What are my plans after graduation you ask?  I am planning on staying on at Bluffton and I hope to get involved a  little more with Young Alumni cultivation and I also hope to use some of my new-found free time to blog more.
