The idea of the blog was to have another way to communicate with students. Turns out that there are probably more parent readers than students, but that's okay. Some students, like Raj Singh, have drawn attention to the blog. He satirized it in the Trinitonian in more than one column. Others, like Ali Deizza and Leslie Stryker, have tried to bribe their way into the blog. These two said they would bookmark it as favorite on their web pages. I am a little offended by that. I am not that easy. One of my new favorite students is Puru Shah, who routinely posts responses as "Digital Subway."
I was going to make a list of what I considered to be the top five posts, but decided that would be arrogant. It also dawned on me that I might not be able to identify five, which would be pretty embarrassing. So in celebration, I am offering FREE Trinity car wind socks and car flags to anyone who wants them (while supplies last). These have real retail value between $7 and $10. I have a huge stash that was I given by the TU bookstore because they were going to throw them away. I love Trinity and love those who read my blog, because I am narcissistic. So we all deserve to do a little flag-waving. Stop by Northrup 118 during normal business hours to pick up a free flag or sock. (Students, you can get ones for your parents.) And thanks for reading. I would probably still write even if I had no audience. But then again, I would be stuck with all these flags...

Hey - what about alumni that are no longer in San Antonio that occasionally check out your blog? Can we still get one?
p.s. I still believe that boys do not belong on Winn 3rd ;)
You take that back Kristan. I'll have you know that I lived on Winn 3rd. Though I guess I might be proving your point...touche.
Law, do I know you? Am I such a legend at Trinity that you know my who I am even though I'm class of 2001? Am I starting to sound as narcissistic as David?
I'm with Doerfler - do you do deliveries to NYC? Don't you encourage your students to go out and explore the world? Of course, I don't myself have a car being in NYC...and Doefler, yes, you may be as narcissistic as Dave. But you know what? Everyone still loves you both. :) Fleo '01
I feel like I should use some cool screen name when I comment. Real names are overrated. FYI, my face just lights up when I see a new Dean's List post pop up in my Google Reader. That's right, I have this in my Google Reader.
A flag AND a wind sock for you! FYI, I always figured a cool screen name WOULD be Shep McAllister!
Loved your school but my kid did not. He never seemed to fit in. I am dropping off the list of those who "follow" but I wish you the best of luck in the future both with the blog and with engaging students.
Looks like my bribery worked!

no swag for Trinity staff members who are devoted readers? ;-)

Free flags for everyone! If you are alumni no longer in SA, e-mail me your address and specify flag or sock. All current employees can get the swag too!

My child hates your school. Because of that, I have decided to take it up with you on your blog in the form of a comment. That is probably the most effective method.*
*sarcasm?
Dean Tuttle! I don't know if you remember me. I created the alcohol education page for you my senior year (2005). I also subscribe to your blog in my Google Reader. It's so nice to have a different medium to keep up-to-date on what's going on at Trinity, especially when I'm so far away from Texas! Thanks for all the posts and keep them coming!
Can you mail a flag to a current staff member who is too lazy to walk to your office?
I actually saw a student car with a Trinity flag on it today. Now I know why. Very cool.

The flags have been a hit. I am holding one for Emily who is abroad and hand delivered one to Ron at KRTU. Leslie, of course I remember you! Your web page has lasted. It will be re-done as part of the new web look, but it was a good run for your great work!
I'm so glad it has had such a long run! Hopefully it has helped many students.
Thanks for the flag, David. It's "flying" in my office. You ought to start a TU courier service!
