Articles and pages where I get on my soapbox.

Why AT&T can't take the heat: Dropped calls and data usage

This is a quick little blurb that I found extremely interesting. If you are one of the many iPhone (AT&T, not you jailbirds on T-Mobile) users that lives in New York or some other major metropolitan area, you've probably experienced some form of network coverage issues in the form of dropped calls or highly fluctuating data transfer speeds.

Teaching the Way It Was Meant To Be Taught

While doing some virtual spring-cleaning on my computer hard drive, I came across an open letter written in January of 2008 to the head of the INTEX (Integrated Experience) program at BYU's Information Systems Undergraduate Department.

So in honor of that proposal, I have provided a summary of the article with a (hopefully) broader perspective.
