News ! ! !
Well this site has been updated for 2001 as regular
visitors who have been here before can tell. I have slimmed down much of
the content that was here, and re-edited the entire site. This re-editing
is an on-going process, as all Life is, and will continue as long as I am able
and allowed to.
I have tried to make the educational wording and
references I was trying to achieve before more clearer and precise with this new
2001 version of Common Sense Central. It is a tenet in my teaching
philosophy in learning how to read menus in microcomputer software applications
of all types. To use your innate common sense in reading menus and trying
various menu choices in practice documents one can learn a new program even if
the manual is unavailable, or the on-line help system is less than clear on explanations.
Because of some CCC administrative concerns I have
decided to remove my poetry, my camera photography, my guitar music and the BBS
section of the website. To those who have expressed enjoyment through the
years for my poetry and my other artistic endeavors, I thank you from the bottom
of my mechanical heart. I will still hopefully participate in the annual
CCC Talent Show put together by Chris Ford and many other dedicated and talented
faculty members and students who perform their 'personal' talents for the
enjoyment of everyone within the greater Clinton Community, the college, the
county, and its citizenry.
The good news, artistically that is, I have included
new 3-D Virtual Reality fly-bys created using microcomputer software
applications that YOU can learn how to use and create stunning and interestingly
beautiful landscapes, cities, parks, worlds, galaxies and other Universes your
mind can roam and play in. These files are LARGE though and are intended
only for on-campus intranet use for educational demonstration purposes.
Trying to download some of these files at home on a phone-modem is NOT
recommended. But here on-campus, or a high-bandwidth www connection, these
are nifty scenes for 1st attempts. I hope I get more time to practice with
this software and develop more wonderful worlds.
Stay tuned and come back often because...
Life happens and you should know about it!
