Welcome!

STUDENTS! PARENTS! HISTORY NERDS! Welcome to Mr. Atcheson's History Blog. This site was created initially as a spot to showcase the works of my World Geography and American History Classes. I will continue to maintain the site to provide parents, students and anyone interested with a glimpse into my history classes. This will be a place to reference for certain homework assignments, showcase student work, discuss current and classroom events and also as a supplement for parents. Enjoy!

The Blue Nowhere--Post 1

I am about a quarter-way through this book and so far it is pretty entertaining. There is a lot of lingo being thrown around. There's almost a new term on every page. I am interested in the concept of a killer constantly changing their identity. That is a pretty common theme among murder-mysteries, but using computers to the extent that Phate does is a pretty nice twist. I've known about using someone else's computer from a remote location for a few years now, and the technology is actually becoming common enough to create businesses around the concept. One is called www.gotomypc.com. They specialize in helping traveling businessmen have remote access to their own computers from other cities. Of course, I'm learning that other people can do this too...
