Musings on Education, Technology, Pop Culture, Religion & Staying Curious
I have these two wonderful friends, Dan and Terri, who are always looking out for my happiness. They’re a young happily married couple, any two of which is an oddity these days and whenever we go out they’re always looking for a woman for me. It’s very endearing to me. So, several weeks ago, knowing [...]
Should have known when they asked us to line up outside that things would go downhill from there. Some folks didn’t find the background particularly artistic or representative of our work-life here at Full Sail U. Of course this background was my choice. Ha! Ain’t life grand. Merry Xmas, y’all. jbb
The Thanksgiving holiday is a family thing. In years past, with one notable exception I’ve never suffered from a lack of having family to spend the afternoon/evening with. I’ve been fortunate that way. Having a “significant other” has been an entirely different story. Given that I’m now a several hundred miles from family and the [...]
I love these people. Before heading out to our various Thanksgiving holiday destinations Beth (month 1) pulled out a composition book with the title “Things I Never Thought I Would Hear at Work.” Once we were seated around her like attentive pre-schoolers, she read to us a collection of quotations and our job was to [...]
Wow, that happened way 2 fast. Leaving the parking area is going 2 take much longer than Endeavor’s 1st orbit. Video 2 follow. 08:20 PM November 14, 2008 from Twinkle
Some folks watch a NASA documentary and fall asleep with five-seconds of the first acronym. My buddy Dan is one of those guys. We’d just started the Astronaut Hall of Fame tour and as much as he wanted to be there for the launch the first video we watched made him groan. I had no [...]
One of the first things that I knew that I wanted to do when I decided to move to Florida was to attend the launch of a space shuttle. I really should have gotten my feet wet in this area back during the summer before my course started but it just didn’t happen. Then I [...]
Most of my fellow course directors sit within earshot of my desk and on more than a few occasions we’ve pulled our chairs together and talked about things that seem to work in online learning and things that don’t. For starters, students who have the biggest trouble with online learning are the ones who thought [...]
As much as I’ve wanted to, I just haven’t had the time to sit down and do any serious blogging. Thus, I’ve had to resort to recording my feelings on this important day via the 140 character repository of wisdom and subtlety known to most as Twitter… Here’s my feed from this amazing day: happy [...]
Decided to get off my ass and do something about the world at large and volunteered to spend my Saturday helping the Obama campaign. In this case I went down to the local O office and then went out and knocked some doors. I was under the impression that I had twittered the whole time, [...]
