On May 3rd, 2008, RIT is hosting an festival called Imagine RIT: Innovation and Creativity Festival. They plan to attract 30,000 people.
The festival will be a showcase over 150 different exhibits of student and faculty work and innovations at RIT. From space exploration to eye tracking devices to innovative websites. See the full list of exhibit titles.
An exhibit for my website, BookMaid.com has been approved so I will be at the event.
After watching a presentation at my college, Rochester Institute of Technology, by Lawrence Lessig, founder of the Creative Commons, I've decided to license all my artwork under a Creative Commons license.
I've licensed all my artwork (in my gallery) under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 3.0 United States License.
I think that everyone should do this to at least some of their work. It helps people avoid copyright problems and helps promote the sharing of information.
It was just announced today that the Rochester Institute of Technology is opening a campus in Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates, opening in the fall.
It's going to be called "RIT Dubai" and it's part of the a huge complex in Dubai, called the "Dubai Silicon Oasis". Apparently they're not offering full-time enrollment at RIT Dubai until 2009. They'll be offering electrical engineering, computer engineering, mechanical engineering, finance and service management.

Cancer accounts for 1 out of every 4 deaths.
I've decided that this month, I'm going to raise as much money as possible and at the end of the month of January, donate all of it to the American Cancer Society. These donations are going to help fund research programs, education, and services.
Personally, cancer has had an effect on my life, and the lives of my family and friends. If everyone would make any size donation, it will count. As stated by the American Cancer Society states, these donations are leading us toward our ultimate goal - the elimination of cancer.
If you or someone you know has been effected by cancer, or you would just like to help, please consider making a donation.
Donations can be made by credit card, bank account transfer or PayPal using PayPal.com, which is safe & secure and no account is needed. If you are willing to donate in any other method, please Contact Dan and I will do my best to make your donation possible.
I've added a counter to the top left corner of every page on dan-lev.com to display the total donations that have been made.
