Finding Food

Sometimes I like to compare myself to a duck.

In order for a duck to eat, it must swim around and forage for food. To find food it must sometimes dive down under the water and stretch out it's neck in order to reach the grasses on the pond's bottom.

In order for me to eat I must go to the grocery store and pay money to buy food. To do that I must work at my job, which most recently involved attending a conference focused on "advanc[ing] higher education by promoting the intelligent use of information technology." Today I networked with a guy from Penn State and we talked about creating web-based games to simulate international trade.

Yes, that is what I did today in order to eat.
