DZone Videos of Me and What I’ve Been Up To

Robert Fischer — Wed, 23 Jun 2010 19:34:20 +0000

In case you fear I’ve fallen off the face of the planet completely, here’s some evidence to the contrary. DZone put up two video interviews of me: one on Gradle and open source and one on Grails plugins and domain objects.

Aside from my summer field education placement at a church in Yanceyville, NC, I’ve been working on RobertCFischer.com and The Indie3 Project. I’ve also been doing some open source work on figuring out the EPA’s MOVES model (GPL FTW!) and my programming language, Ashlar. Also researching perpetration induced traumatic stress (PITS), as well as dogs. With all that, my blogging has dropped to pretty much zero.

The Indie3 Project is Live!

Robert Fischer — Wed, 16 Jun 2010 17:11:46 +0000

If you’ve been wondering what I’ve been up to, the answer is a whole lot. But among other things, I’ve been working on the The Indie3 Project, a call to commit to keeping independent music alive by buying three independent albums a month. To make this easy on you, there’s a podcast with three recommended albums each month (and with an easy URL to do so!).

Attached to this blog post (and on the EnfranchisedMind podcast feed) is the introduction to The Indie3 Project by Crystal, the one-time co-host of Dave’s Lounge.

Ellen Davis and Krista Tippett

Robert Fischer — Thu, 10 Jun 2010 18:00:41 +0000

It’s finally out! One of my favorite professors is on one of my favorite radio programs (probably my favorite, now that “In the Loop” is no more…)! Dr. Ellen Davis on “Speaking of Faith” has been attached into the blog’s podcast feed. There should be a player below: if not, visit the EnfranchisedMind post itself at http://enfranchisedmind.com/blog/posts/ellen-davis-sof/.

As usual, “Speaking of Faith” has a nice page for the episode: http://speakingoffaith.publicradio.org/programs/2010/land-life-poetry/

If you want to hear more from Dr. Davis and you are on iTunes, you can hear her inaugural lecture as the “Amos Ragan Kearns Distinguished Professor of Bible and Practical Theology” (yeah, Duke’s subtle with their chair names…): http://deimos.apple.com/WebObjects/Core.woa/BrowsePrivately/new.duke.edu.2697058707.02697058712.2688360634?i=1778542252

Ellen Davis interviewed for “Speaking of Faith”

Speaking of Faith (which I’ve talked about before on this blog) just interviewed Dr. Ellen Davis, who I took Hebrew from last fall and will be taking Exodus with this upcoming fall. She’s an awesome professor who is engaged in this area of “agrarian theology”, which asks questions about how we are to relate to the land we live on and what it means for us to be in a particular environment at a particular time. Subscribe to the podcast and you won’t forget to hear it when it comes out mid-June!

Going to be at Mid South Software Symposium (Memphis, TN)

Robert Fischer — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 01:01:05 +0000

I’ve been scheduled at the Mid South Software Symposium in Memphis, TN. Never been to Memphis before, so this should be fun. You can see my schedule over on the NFJS site: as of this writing, it’s two concurrency talks, build tools (Gradle/Hudson/etc.), and reusability (OSGi).

If you’re from the Memphis area and coming, it’ll be great to see you there. If you’re not from the Memphis area and you’d like to see me in your area, let NFJS know or contact me via the form on SmokejumperIT.com.
