Home of Grading Assistant for Windows XP

Grading Assistant is a custom gradebook program, written by me, for keeping track of student grades and progress.  It is getting fairly sophisticated as time goes on, but my underlying philosophy is to keep the interface simple and intuitive, much like the current Google class of applications.  What makes this program stand out is that it automatically uploads a comprehensive and elegant web page HTML file  for each student that students have access to from any web browser!

 --> Features <-- 

* Automatic exam curving (linear curves).
* Automaticall shows current class grade at all times, no need to do calculations.
*  Ability to add comments to a student's record.
* The program (with an FTP account) will automatically upload an elegant grade report HTML file for each student each time the gradebook is updated.
* Option to open a new e-mail and send a grade report to a student with one simple click.

My Research Map

We live in the era of 'me' centered existence.  Personal webpages are in many ways, in my opinion, an extension of this mindset.  Be that as it may, since you happened to stumble upon this website and apparently have at least some interest in whose virtual home you just invaded, let me share a little about myself.  I could sum up my main interests in 4 M's: Metaphysics (not the bookstore variety), Music (jazz saxophone & I compose my own music at Beyond Music), magic (not 'magik' but slight of hand), and finally machines (computer software and hardware).  I guess you could include muscle as well since I like to lift weights from time to time.  My primary career path is philosophy & religion and I try to use some or all of my other interests in service to this end.  Did I mention I install DirecTV and Dish Network Satellite?

Enjoy my meager website!
