Welcome!

This is a proof-of-concept blog, so posts may be sporadic, especially at first. We'll offer general technology tips of interest to the higher ed community (university faculty, staff, and students), with a special focus on tools and technologies used at the University of Kansas. Thanks for stopping by!
