I did a guest lecture for my colleague Dr. Emily Erickson about the joys of blogging on Thursday. After the lecture - to a class of about 700 - a student came up to tell me about one of his co-workers who was still blogging from inside New Orleans. I just had a moment to check out the blog & it is very interesting. The blog even includes links to photos of damage from this latest hurricane.
