Welcome to my Drew homepage!

• Peruse my CV
• Check out my Bookmarks
• Visit my class homepages for this semester. I've just started Moodling:
  • Latin 30
  • Roman History
• Send me e-mail at <jmuccigr@drew.edu>
• Contact me in the office: Phone x3029, Office hours for Spring 2008: MW 1.30-3.45; Th 12-1.45 or by appt.

There are many of these sites, but here's a (very) short list to get you started:

• Our department homepage
• Perseus
• A list of undergraduate programs in Classics

Once again there are a lot of sites out there, but here's another starter list:

• The CMA Server
• The Drew Archaeology minor homepage

Currently in the works:

• A new archaeological dig in Umbria!
• For the site publication: epigraphical finds from our recent excavations at Paestum (ed. Prof. J. Higginbotham, Bowdoin College)
• Results from a survey of college Latin and Greek students
• See the next section

I am currently involved in three projects developing computer-use in our departmental courses:

1. Image Database
2. Michigan-Latin Vocabulary Project
3. QuickTime animations
   1. Latin animations, a Summer 1999 Drew CINC project on word order in Latin
   2. Greek colonies in the west

• Mac OS X Services
  • I made up a few Classics-related services. Install them in the Library/Services folder and then find them under the Services submenu in the currently running application's menu:
    1. Convert diaereses into macrons (Unicode)
    2. Look up the selected Latin word in Whitaker's free Latin dictionary (which must therefore be installed on your computer as well)
       • Form info only
       • English meaning only
       • Entire entry
    3. Look up the selected Latin word in Perseus' version of Lewis & Short
    4. Look up the selected object in Perseus' classical resources (Perseus doesn't always respond well to this)
• Then there's this keyboard I made up to make typing macrons easier. It's based on the Mac OS Hawaiian layout, but has the Dvorak layout. Download the whole packet with directions here.

• Latest causes
  • "Protocols not platforms"
    This is a long-running stance of mine on standardization. It needs a good homepage, but for now check out this page:
    • Part of a MacCentral series on dual-platform sites. See the list at the bottom of the article.
  • Burn all GIFs (See the logo below.)
  • Drug-design optimization - my latest distributed-computing endeavor

• Baseball Substitutes
  • Softball (captain of the 2000 IM champion Faculty/Staff/Student team)
  • T-ball (former coach of daughter Sabina's 6-yr-olds team)
• Genealogy
• Karate
