...This changes a million times.

I expect that some of my students have wonderful Google-fu by now. If you've tracked down my super-secret identity, don't worry - I don't mind. This blog is meant to be public and I'm well aware that anyone can find it. You can comment, though in the interests of professionalism I may not be quite as revealing or candid as I used to be. If I feel something is too personal to reply to, I just won't reply to it - but that doesn't mean you need to clam up. If you have a lot of spare time, I also have a Deviant Art page that should prove fertile ground for gossip.

At the same time, I want to make it clear that this is personal space. I use it to share funny and sometimes disturbing links, communicate with my friends, write essays and humor, and sort out various things going on in my life. It bears no affiliation with the University of Colorado-Denver, the history department, my position, or even how I act or who I am in class. The meatspace and web realms are very carefully separated in thought and action. Thus, I would appreciate that they continue to be separate.

So if you're new, by way of explanation:
1. I curse quite a bit.
2. I find educational filmstrips intensely entertaining.
3. I had a stroke a few years ago, and blogging about it is one thing that contributes to my recovery.

And everything else will work itself out from there.
