Lakeland College's Revamped Website

Old Main Hall, Lakeland College

Link to December 21 Sheboygan Press article, "Lakeland College's new Web site puts visitors in control".

Excerpt: The new site's design features more, larger and engaging photos of students and the campus to add visual appeal. The new site also introduces a campus video tour, hosted by Lakeland's student ambassadors, and easy access to everything from Lakeland's NCAA athletic team scores to a financial aid estimator for new students.

The site will interface with popular social media sites like Facebook and Twitter, accommodating the ability to gather and share information between prospective students and their parents.

Frank Zappa Bust

Link to December 17 Baltimore Sun article, "Donated Lithuanian bust of eccentric rocker Frank Zappa finds home outside Baltimore library".

Excerpt: It took more than a year, but Baltimore officials finally decided where to put a bust of rocker Frank Zappa that was given to the city by his fans in Lithuania.

The eccentric musician's statue will be erected outside a public library.

Zappa never visited Lithuania, but his music was popular there among the avant garde. A Lithuanian fan club erected a Zappa statue in the Lithuanian capital and last year donated a replica to Baltimore, the singer's birthplace.

And in honor of the occasion, I'd like to share a cut from my favorite Zappa album.
