In addition to cleaning up my website, my annual project over the Christmas and New Year's Holiday, I also completed my bi-annual instructional update video for SMC faculty.  I have now done 6 of these (plus an original "promotional" video), and while for work it may not be self-promotion, it is often shameless.  At least this Spring semester, by impersonating David Letterman instead of Gordon Ramsay (the Fall 2014 video), I don't look quite as foolish. 

For the website, though, I will add self-promotion to my shamelessness and link to all of these videos. If nothing else, it's adding to a semi-permanent legacy of "what-the-hell-was-my-dad-thinking" for my son.

There you go, Lincoln.  Now if your friends ever mock you by saying "your dad wears a wig," you can point out it was for his work.
