Musings on Education, Technology, Pop Culture, Religion & Staying Curious
I need to be a bit more careful about the blog. I mean, I’ve been known to vent a bit and cause more than a few hurt feelings from said ventings. Alas, I met another Full Sail department director today who was familiar with the blog. Well, he was familiar because they have an app [...]
Today I went to lunch with my dear friend Kathy and she asked me how the e-Harmony thing was going. The discussion prompted the following note: Remember me talking about there being hundreds of closed matches. Tonight I checked the numbers and it turns out that since beginning this little e-Harmony journey three years ago [...]
It’s time. Some might say that it’s long past time. I turned in the final grades for my first class here at Full Sail. I wrote a script for and then did an audio podcast/interview for another course director. Then checked into Second Life to monitor students coming in looking for assistance with the new [...]
“Hey Skitch, how did we get here?” “I lead you here, sir, for I am Sparticus.” Leo to Shades in “That Thing You Do” I’m trying to wrap my head around my fortunate circumstances. Yesterday after uploading my lesson plans and agendas for the week I stepped out for brunch but ended up spending a [...]
“The same is true of ships. They are very big and are driven by strong winds. Yet, by using small rudders pilots steer ships wherever they want them to go.” James 3:4 I’ve been adrift for some time. And I’m by no means at all sure of my course, location or destination. But in the [...]
Whenever I’ve heard someone talk about why they don’t go to church anymore or what changed for them, it often seems to hinge on some personal slight between the person not going to church and some representative of the church. For others the reasons dig much deeper and are far more personal. Dr. Bidlack, a [...]
What is it about me that I find myself continually staring into the Void? Ignoring the obvious fact that I don’t have enough of a “Life” to distract me, I marvel that I often find myself fighting the feeling or subconscious sense that there is nothing beyond this life. I’ve been known for over-thinking the [...]
I’ve written about this before. I’m not sure if it’s a blessing or a curse. I decided to tackle the pile of papers I’d shoved into my bookshelf and put them into a hanging folder organizer. Of course the papers where print-outs of my online journal from 2003 to 2006, and I couldn’t file the [...]
I met with one of my pastors earlier this week to talk about what things can be done to improve the church website (I recommended doing something like Geeklog). Blah, blah, blah. Then he asked me, ” So Joe, what’s your story?” Let’s see, how many friends have I chased away with horrendously long renditions [...]
