 +======Thoughts======
 +Cultivating one's ability to think, to contemplate, can yield all kinds of rewarding opportunities. And a big part of what I strive to do in my classes is to cultivate that aptitude in others. It only seems to become more difficult over time- the temptations of immediacy and instant gratification having increasingly won out in the bad habits of many, at the ever-expanding deficiencies in observing, reading, writing, playing. And furthermore, what I like to call the "brute-force mentality", which thrives on memorization and regurgitation, a carefully-reciped following of some shallow notion that all-too-often seems to occupy far-too-many classrooms, claims so many incoming minds.
 +
 +Following will be some notable exerpts, class mailing list posts, general treatises, or ramblings of my thoughts on various manners. I provide it here for the possibility of others to gain some insight:

-====LAIRwall==== 
-We have in the LAIR a 4x3 tiled display wall we affectionately call the LAIRwall. This provides us with a resource to display high resolution imagery and explore areas of visualization, especially in a distributed fashion. 
  
-The LAIRwall has also been on display up on the main CCC campus for events like TECH DAY and the CCC Student Art show (where it displays various works of student art). 
  
-====Hydroponics==== 
-As part of the LAIR sustainability initiative, we have been experimenting with hydroponics. Exploring areas such as technological integration, we are looking at ways of automating and optimizing the growing environment through the use of computers and sensors to both grow plants/produce, and also provide an application for students to apply their programming/script/system administration skills. 
-=====BITS===== 
-BITS - Bunch of Interconnected Technology Stuff. The name being given to a collaboration forming between the LAIR @ CCC, the DSLAB @ SUNY Geneseo, and resources at SUNY IT. With three sites, each with different resources, we are aiming to provide individuals at all three institutions access to this combined computing potential, exploring problems and situations inherent to High-Performance Computing.

 =====Armor Dynamics Project===== =====Armor Dynamics Project=====
-Armor Dynamics Project - During the summers of 2006, 2007, and 2008 I have been involved at SUNY Geneseo providing computer cluster support to the Physics group doing research on this project, enabled through a NYSTAR grant awarded to SUNY Geneseo, Alfred University, and Armor Dynamics, Inc. I've maintained a cluster environment to run MPP-DYNA (a cluster-aware application that is a general purpose transient dynamic finite element program capable of simulating many complex real world problems). I've used this as an opportunity to experiment with virtualization and have written a job queuing system to aid the physics research group in submitting multiple jobs to be processed on the cluster.+Armor Dynamics Project - During the summers of 2006, 2007, and 2008 (and through present providing remote system administration support), I have been involved at SUNY Geneseo providing computer cluster support to the Physics group doing research on this project, enabled through a NYSTAR grant awarded to SUNY Geneseo, Alfred University, and Armor Dynamics, Inc.
