That title should be self explanatory…

It turns out today that my old reliable iRiver FP720 died. The record button is stuck. I have another recorder, in fact a better one, but, I will miss wearing my little cheapo ebay mic.
The upshot of this is, that today’s BIOL 3406 / PSYC 3306 lecture was lost. Sorry everyone.
I am moving over to a Zoom H2, which is a nice recorder, and it will pick up class questions much better as well. Still, I have been using the iRiver for four years.
Well, we got Netflix streaming in Canada today, so I have that going for me….
Sort of the midpoint of the introduction…..

Now it gets cool…. So which animal is the smartest? Plus a little reminisence of grad school under the supervision of Sara Shettleworth.

If you are wondering why there has not been much action here on the blog there are a few reasons. I was away at FuturePlay a couple of weeks ago for a week, so well, it is pretty hard to lecture from another city… Psychology 3906 is pretty much done, at least my part is, now it is student presentations. Some of those may be recorded if the students in question want to be on the interwebs. FInally, the other day my battery ran out in 3306. Oh yeah and this week I have tests to give in both 3306 and 2606.
Instrumental Conditioning part 2, I actually yawn during this one…
