I missed out on "Zoom", but I loved "Schoolhouse Rock", mostly the history bits. "I'm just a bill" is still a favorite, along with "Shot heard round the world". I do remember watching "1-2-3 Contact" and later Square One with Mathnet and Carmen Sandiego. I've seen bits of "Behind the Lions". I mostly remember the nutty knight skits.

There was a wonderful Electric Company archive I discovered recently with MP3s, but they appear to have received a C&D, forcing them offline. Ah... nostalgia. When I realize the number of people who probably looked at the recent "Spiderman" movies and thought of it first as the Electric Company program, not as the comic book.

I have a BA in Communication, majoring in Advertising and minoring in History. (The combo made more sense when I started out in journalism.) I also did a Multimedia Certificate in web design. Have used neither education in my job experiences, other than some simple HTML formatting.

Paula: I can completely relate with the library experience. I've been working temp jobs as a library technician for several years, mostly govt and law libraries. I'm really resisting getting the MLS. I've discovered I like working *in* libraries, doing research and such, but necessarily *for* one. And reference work doesn't have the same appeal as historical research. Probably pays better, but not much.

I found one possible Wisconsin connection. According to several hits, Pierce cowrote a book on the short story with a fellow Clemson professor, Ryan G. Van Cleave. Van Cleave did teach at University of Wisconsin's creative writing program. Odd thing is none of the links for Van Cleave mention an award or grant. And only a few hits pop up for the book to be published. The info given in Van Cleave's bio is Behind the Short Story: From First to Final Draft, a fiction textbook. Allyn & Bacon/Longman, 2004.
