Tue, 27 Jul 2010 11:12:30 -0800WeeblyTue, 27 Jul 2010 08:28:42 -0800http://www.roberttalbert.net/1/post/2010/07/added-google-voice-widget.htmlGoogle Voice is a service that allows you to lump one or more of your existing phones under a single phone number. I'm on Google Voice, so you can call or text me. I've added a handy widget to the Contact page so you can do this directly from the computer. I think the way that it works is you click the widget, enter your name and phone number, and Google Voice will connect your phone with my GVoice account. Enjoy! ]]>Mon, 26 Jul 2010 10:32:09 -0800http://www.roberttalbert.net/1/post/2010/07/update-researchscholarship-statement.htmlI've got a new scholarship statement right here. It's been updated to incorporate some recent publications as well as new interests and activities in STEM and engineering education. ]]>Mon, 12 Jul 2010 05:49:06 -0800http://www.roberttalbert.net/1/post/2010/07/mendeley.htmlI've added a button that links to my Mendeley profile, to both the Scholarship and Web Presence pages. Mendeley is a free, open-source tool for managing research papers and finding others who share your research interests. It's a great tool and service, and I recommend it to anybody doing any sort of research. ]]>Wed, 26 May 2010 03:48:10 -0800http://www.roberttalbert.net/1/post/2010/05/update-formspringme.htmlI've added my account at formspring.me on the web presence page. Formspring.me is a nifty service that allows people to ask questions (anonymously if they choose), and I answer them. It's like an ongoing web interview and a lot of fun. 


There will be more additions and updates around here this summer, so stay tuned. ]]>Tue, 15 Sep 2009 18:29:22 -0800http://www.roberttalbert.net/1/post/2009/09/new-version-of-cv.htmlI've just uploaded a newly-updated curriculum vitae to the Curriculum Vitae page. It includes a few formatting changes to make things easier to read and a number of additions reflecting the stuff that I've been doing since last year. Have a look! ]]>Mon, 03 Aug 2009 04:18:00 -0800http://www.roberttalbert.net/1/post/2009/08/new-changes-blog-indiana-2009.htmlFor the first time in several months, I've tinkered with this web site! Nothing too dramatic -- I changed the design and color scheme (do you like it?) and deleted Dangerous Tasks from my list of blogs on the "Web Presence" page (since I no longer maintain that blog). 


I'll be attending the Higher Education Summit at Blog Indiana 2009 coming up on August 13. Blog Indiana is the state's largest social media conference, and at the higher education summit I'll be attending sessions on using Facebook in the classroom, getting college administrators to use Twitter, and other similar talks. (See also my recent Casting Out Nines post, The blogging VPAA.) ]]>Mon, 10 Nov 2008 09:18:24 -0800http://www.roberttalbert.net/1/post/2008/11/forthcoming-additions-to-the-cv.htmlHere are a few recent and upcoming items that will eventually make their way into the CV:

• I've been named to the editorial board of Mathematics Exchange, a journal of undergraduate research published through Ball State University. My role on the board will be mainly to recruit undergraduates to publish their stuff and to recruit mathematicians to referee, and possibly to do a little refereeing myself. Math Exchange is a great journal, very well-suited for undergraduates doing any kind of research or independent study, and I'm excited about forming this relationship with the fine folks who put that journal out.

• I found out last week that I will definitely be attending the International Conference on Technology in Collegiate Mathematics this coming March. I went to the ICTCM last year and had a fabulous time. I'm currently vetting some ideas for talks and workshops to give at the ICTCM this year, and once I get those figured out and submitted, they'll be added to my CV.

• And speaking of Ball State, I've been invited to come up there in the spring and give a mathematical talk. I'll be talking either about digital signatures like I did at Benedictine University last April or about my work with cycle decompositions of columnar transposition ciphers.

You can find me (and talk to me) at the account robert.talbert. I've added this info to the Contacts page and the Web Presence page, and I shuffled a few more things around the Web Presence page having to do with internet contact info.

Enjoy!

]]>Thu, 28 Aug 2008 08:48:09 -0800http://www.roberttalbert.net/1/post/2008/08/updated-cv-available.htmlI've updated a new copy of my CV to reflect some changes in the publications section. My two MAA Reviews articles are now officially published (although you have to have an MAA membership to access them after Labor Day), and my paper for the ICTCM 2008 proceedings was officially accepted and will appear when the proceedings come out in March 2009.

Enjoy!
