Welcome to the blog. You might note that the “blog” entries before are from a bazillion years ago when this was just a regular web site. Now that we’ve moved up to a much better web system for our faculty, I’m hoping to more regularly update this blog with thoughts about Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in the news, new research on organizations and work, and the random notes on parenting research since I find all three of those topics quite interesting.<\/p>\n
Feel free to hang out here and check out what is going on, but play nicely!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
