no penny necessary

Since a weblog is essentially an online journal, and my name is shared with someone whose career path draws a lot of attention on the internet, I decided to give my blog a name that had relevance to both the concept and my experiences in CICS. The title of my weblog originated from the saying “A penny for your thoughts,” but my colleagues at the Center can also appreciate it for the reference to a practice by one of our professors. Dr. Jay Gillette has the habit of giving someone a penny as a token of wealth in exchange for a piece of information, because “information is wealth.” In this case, I am offering my thoughts, and any information they might contain, free of charge.
