...I very well may have become a cartoonist: I Know Joe Kimpel Blog. Only downside: it's in Vermont. How about launching a virtual campus initiative where people can take classes online? I'd totally be down for that...

C.K., there is a way to do this, although online education currently sucks and blows. Couple this with accreditation woes and govt lunacy, and there’s no wonder innovation in education is rare.

I took some online game design classes (bachelor level, less than 20 hrs.) and had drawing classes online. They rocked, because the instructor, a Mac guy, knew how to use the medium and worked us through a primitive but effective system.

Art Institue Online is about the only game in town, and they do well. Personally I think it could be done better ;)
