FDI Course Line-Up

Here's my finalized list of Faculty Development Initiative courses I'll be teaching during Fall Semester here at Virginia Tech. I'm putting this schedule up for two main reasons:
(1) I haven't been at all motivated to put anything in this journal. (Just having too much fun vacationing in Blacksburg!), and
(2) So I'll have easy access to (and no excuse for losing) this information on any computer with an Internet connection.
Based on my limited knowledge of past-sessions given through FDI, it looks like I'll really only be responsible for developing the TabletPC, Digital Imaging, and the Better Browsing sessions on my own. The latter two I'm fairly confident I could do with little prep, but the TabletPC will be a (welcome) challenge.

The One-Round Movie Review
Cinderella Man is one of those typical, ho-hum Hollywood sports films in which the "outside chance" hero defies all the odds, gets (and/or keeps) the ever-loyal girl, and learns (and/or teaches) a few lessons along the way. *YAWN* Wasn't Rocky 6 enough?
I've seen a few too many boxing films of late (this one, Million Dollar Baby, and Rocky), and despite their (sometimes) over-dramatizations of the sport, I can't figure how such gladatorial combat is legal. Russell Crowe's Jim Braddock speaks to this same question in Cinderella Man, claiming that (paraphrased) "a boxer takes a similar rish during his job as a man would working down on the docks of Manhattan. There's always a chance of physical injury." Totally flawed logic, of course, since a 100-pound bag of barley is not capable of throwing a concussion-inducing right hook.
Jim, I'm sorry, but there's just no incidental contact in boxing...
About all I got from this film was a renewed fear of getting gut, head, or kidney punched, and if my personal scorecard meant anything, I'd have the SWG throw in the towel or revoke someone's license for this 135 minute "letdown dragout." When the curtains closed, I felt about as physically, mentally, and financially bruised as a Depression Era version of James J. Braddock.
