Friday Quick Hits and Varia

Family is in town this week, so the quick hits and varia will be a bit spare. To make up for that, they’ll be of exceedingly high quality (or whatever).

In the meantime, please remember that Prof. Sam Fee will be speaking at 11 am in the Working Group in Digital and New Media’s Lab in O’Kelly 203. He will have a conversation titled “Making an App for That” that will focus on his work to create a web based table application for in field data collection.
