Presenting... photos.case.edu and the Case Screensaver!
Andrew Witte and I have been hard at work -- and we would like to hear what you think so far. What are we working on? The Case Screensaver!
http://photos.case.edu is an online photo gallery for Case users to upload and store photos for others to see. It provides many different categories -- including one for "Flyers" that students can post event poster images.
You can download the screensaver which displays the latest pictures in a slideshow. The Case Screensaver will be available for download starting on Monday.
Please check out http://photos.case.edu and feel free to start uploading pictures!

Globalization as a means to spread Democracy
Let me preface this by stating that I am only a Computer Engineer with access to a website with a high Google page-rank. That being said, let me speak my mind.
I think we should lift all tariffs and embargo bans placed on Cuba. You know, that place with the great cigars and impoverished people ruled under my buddy Fidel Castro.
I personally have no opinion as to whether communism is good or bad. However, I do know that no two countries with a McDonald's in it have ever gone to war. Our friendly Southern communist neighbor extended relief help when Katrina struck. What did we gain from turning down such an offer?
Ultimately, I feel that an outward sign of inclusion will go much farther in spreading Democracy and the freedoms it provides than the status quo. Perhaps I am just a hippy pinko softy. At least I am confident that history will absolve me.
