Suffering. I made some kind of mistake, not knowing (well, if we knew when we were making mistakes, we wouldn’t make them, duh!) and now I am trying to fix it. It’s not an easy thing to fix, either. My day was going pretty well, too. The thing is, I’m the kind of person that [...]
Pam: Well, Case McKenna. Or is it Casey?
Case: Just Case. (Shakes dark, shaggy locks away from his face.) But yeah. Casey’s my given name. Just got a bit worn.

I’m still ruminating on digital textbooks. Not only is the state of Texas moving forward on getting ebooks approved as bonafide textbooks, but California’s Governor Swarzenegger just launched an initiative to get free digital content developed for high school students.
