i'm not sure what will become of the blog now that i've left the teacher corps; as much as i detested the required posting, it did tie me to a small amount of much-needed processing and communicating. so, without the mosquito-like specter of ben guest's mtc web-2.0-fetish i'm not sure where and when to shit my observations (as i'm no longer officially tied to mtc, i'm going to go ahead and use a wider [and perhaps more effective] range of language and imagery. that being said, i imagine the link to my blog [if it's in fact still up] will be swiftly removed once i admit once again that i'm a sexual being. and i am.).
shit them i must, however. and since i am still in mississippi, and will be working in education and social justice for another year (thanks to the william winter institute for racial reconciliation [wwirr]), this toilet is still relevant. my outlook for the 2007-2008 school year - which will contain the bulk of my 12-month project coordinator tenure at wwirr - is as follows:
(1) develop a state-wide network of student groups dedicated to cultural criticism/intercommunity dialogue/social justice,
(1.i) which will piggyback upon a massive young voter registration campaign, as well as
(1.ii) sustained coordination and development of the jim hill crcl centerpiece, and
(2) develop a web-based teacher facilitation model that assists educators in tying civil rights into any curricular objective,
(2.i) which will be integrated into continuing work at jim hill, hopefully
(2.ii) the instruction of a single section of calculus.
basically, a year to expand upon what had been forced to the periphery. overambitious, i'm sure - but no doubt things will shift and meld and surface and die. hopefully, then, this blogspace will continue to serve as an infrequent reservoir of whatever scrapple prevails.

as the de facto camera guy at wwirr, i've had rather unexpected demands to figure out how to use my new canon rebel xti - with varied success. it's a relief to be able to fall back on the point-and-click full auto mode, but playing around with the manual options is starting to make more sense. here's what i've got, and here's where i've been:
