A Limerick About a Cat
There once was a funny cat.
Who was also very very fat.
He went to the vet,
Because he’s a pet.
And now he can hunt for rat.

About Greg Boone

Greg is a second year graduate student from the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul Minnesota. While traveling around Europe and Asia he began to see how new media made it harder to leave home behind when moving to a new place, but also their potential to create positive social change. He explores this topic and other questions related to the influence of technology on culture at Georgetown's Communication Culture and Technology program. Greg also likes to bike around the Washington, DC area and brews his own beer. Normally these remain separate activities.
