Michael Showalter will be performing at the University of Arkansas Union Ballroom on March 13th at 7pm.
I knew it was coming, but after Googling his name and “arkansas”, I finally found some little bitty text on a single UA page.
If you’re not familiar with Showalter, he was a writer and actor on “The State”, “Stella”, [...]

Michael Showalter
I’m no architect, but…
Combining the sleekness of the the Architecture stylings of American Criminal Justice System, Neuvo Industrial, Misplaced Art Deco, Wide Open Space, and Polished Concrete, the new Law Building on the University of Arkansas Campus is as hideous lovely as it sounds.

Times are changing
I walk into my office, get things in order, and decide to make my coffee.
My coffee is gone.
The full pound of Espresso beans brought back from Vienna.

It was sitting next to my desk when I left work around 5:45pm yesterday, in a handled brown paper IGA grocery bag.
But it was [...]
Posting via Word 2007
I just discovered that Microsoft Word 2007 has the ability to publish to blogs.
That’s pretty cool.

The food was great. I wish we had Vietnamese restaurants in NWA.

Chartwells Loves the Environment
When the Arkansas Union was renovated several years ago, the Servery/Cafeteria Service was outsourced to Chartwells.
One of the major changes that was noticed was the substitution of real cutlery and plates with plastic equivalents. Hiring someone to wash dishes costs alot more than plasticware and styrofoam, apparently. However, what is the cost to the environment [...]
