Welcome to my website!
Welcome to the world of Mike Andoscia. Over the years I've become a website fanatic. I started with one little website to assist me in managing the many responsibilities of my college courses. This website became Andoscia Sociology, a rather extensive sociology resource. This lead to a more personal endeavor, The Journal of a Mad Sociologist, an activist and expressive project that includes an on-line magazine called Agitate. From there I designed a website for my high school class called Mr. Andoscia's Class. At the same time I published my first novel, Stone is not Forever, and developed a site for marketing. Then, as if that wasn't enough, I founded Change the Paradigm, an on-line project designed to encourage civic participation. Change the Paradigm ended in March of 2010.So that brings me the mikeandoscia.com. This website is designed to be the hub for all things Mike Andoscia. From here you can access all of my on-line projects, including the notorious Mad Sociologist Blog and the Living Text Blog. In essence, Mike Andoscia on the Web is the starting point for a journey through my mind. So enjoy!
