Venangoland has been updated.

Delwende is this week's Venango Campus Independent Film Series film. It starts at 7:30 pm in Rhoades Auditorium and is free.

Wowio is a pretty straightforward. Free books in pdf format. There's some Sontag, some Poe, a lot of Oxford University Press -- all quality stuff.

Luckily, I have two invites to give away which will allow you to avoid using a CC #. If you're interested, email me.
