=Mini Biography=

His full name is Michael L.W. Jones (Prof. Note - kudos to those who can guess what the L.W. stands for. Both are surprisingly unique, given the first and last names are generic as Wonder Bread. Hints: The L is one of those names that can be male or female, and is probably more female nowadays. The W. is short for a reasonably common Welsh name beginning with I., that people in Quebec found impossible to pronounce, so they abbrievated it.)

He completed his Ph.D. at [|Cornell University] in organizational communication (Prof. Note - still in grievance. Got 72 hours before my defense before they decided to change their mind re: setting the date in the first place. Then they quit. The Cornell Communication department is a bit dysfunctional that way.)

In August 2005, he began teaching at [|Sheridan College] in the joint Sheridan/University of Toronto program in [|CCIT] (Communication, Culture and Information Technology).

Jones is commonly known for his stories about the [|Cornell Formula SAE racecar] team. Click [|here] for an article about the competition. (Prof. Note: Another article from Road and Track can be found [|here.] That's the 2002 car. The body work involves about 175 hours of labour on my part, including the shift that led to the above pic. Probably the best body done to date, and in record time to boot.)

=Interesting Information=

Not only a nice guy, Mike Jones is also a nice marker. The word on the street is that he swears he'll give us 1% for each post we make on the wiki. Lets hope! (Prof. Note - hope is a good thing. Delusions, well, they're fun, but not necessarily as productive.)

There is legend of an in-class drinking game based on Mike Jones idioms, but no one knows for sure what mysterious beings created said game. Rumor has it the rules can be found somewhere hidden deep within the CCIT forums, seek and ye may find them. (Prof. Note - If I know about this, you should. It's only fair we play by vaguely similar rules, right?)

It is also noted that he sure laughs a lot. In fact, the whole room booms with his trademark laughter. If anyone doesn't know where the cct205 tuturial is, just listen to the call of Mike Jones' laughter. Huzzah. (Prof. Note: I'm happy my laughter's been a signal call for as long as I can remember. There's worse things to be remembered for.) =See also=
