Last night, a fresh install got my computer working. Today, I’m at the AEJMC convention in Washington, DC. This morning was a panel presentation about challenges facing college media. Later, I’ll post the paper we presented about results from our online survey of college media advisers. #

How long will you be in town, Bryan? I'd love to pick your brain about grad schools.
Yay! Welcome back to the intertubes.
Glad to hear that your laptop was still working 12+ hours after we resurrected it
You'll have to let me know how the AEJMC panel went.
For those who are interested, here's what Bryan and I had to do to get his laptop working again: First of all, his DVD drive wasn't working, and we didn't have the MacBook Pro installation media that shipped with his machine anyway. Instead, I started up my Mac Pro with the installation media that shipped with it. We connected Bryan's laptop to my Mac Pro via FireWire in target disk mode (hold down T as you boot), and voila—we were able to install OS X onto his laptop.
OK, back to your regularly scheduled comments!
