Milestone.
On this rainy, unglamorous Sunday, as I began to restore some of the lost content/widgets on the blog (they’re all back now!), I thought to myself, how long have we been doing this?
So I peered through the archives and encountered an interesting statistic:
Today marks nearly the 6th month the EIC has been in business!
I started the blog at late on a Saturday night (or I guess Sunday morning) and proceeded to write post number one (click Nov. 2007 on the archives button on the column farthest right) at a truly obscene hour, even for mystandards – 4am I believe, on November 18, 2007. It’s been an interesting six months, and I think we’ve attained a certain credibility around the school with teachers and students that I didn’t envision when it all started that night. Our mission has changed however - as the whole blogging concept never caught on with most of the editors, Kyle and I have made it our own portal to disseminate snippets of what we’re reading, thinking, and doing.
what we’re reading
The Wall Street Journal on how elementary school fundraisers have perverted our childhood. / With less than a third of teenagers with real jobs this summer, a profile of teenagers who are making as much as $2,000 per month as virtual contractors and designers on Second Life for their summer job. / GameDaily speculates that PS3 and Xbox 360 price cuts are near – with perhaps a Blu-ray enabled 360 even closer. / Inside Higher Ed on the future of foreign language education in the United States.
