The world we live in

As promised, I almost stepped off the face of the blogosphere. I haven’t posted in weeks, not because my life hasn’t been evolving, but because things have been moving so fast. Mrs Findingheart and myself have been doing well as we re-grow the tender ligaments of marriage that we once had a surplus of. There [...]

Riding Waves

I missed my opportunity to learn to surf in Hawaii many years ago. Despite that, I feel like I’ve been riding waves pretty well here.
Work has been busy. State testing for children went online and was a cluster F! It wasn’t my department’s deal, yet we were thrown under the wheels for it and had [...]

Things that bug me today

1) Forgetting things.  I formulated a blog about something that really bugged me around noon today.  I sit down at 6pm now to blog and … damn it if I didn’t forget what I was going to write about.
2) Self-promoters. I enjoyed presenting tech to teachers a couple of weeks ago. I got some good [...]

Gurgle, Gurgle, Groan

I haven’t had the flu in I don’t know how many years. It hit me Friday morning and is still sitting on my chest. Got so much work to do and oh so tired of the TV noise going on constantly. Grrr.
Next week, I will be giving no less than 4 different workshops for teachers. [...]

Gotta catchup! Different ideas written in different colors today.
Man, I felt like the family was sick forever. We had a second round last week and I am just tired of it! We are finally healthy. Kids are caught up at school and all is back on track.
So, I went to a gay bar last weekend. [...]

Man it got quiet

It’s been 20,000 hits (since I started counting) and things have continued to evolve:
Professionally: Been muy busy. Workshops last week drew good crowds. Day-long wkshops on blogging and two on Microsloth Movie Maker. Many happy teachers. My work website is nice, but limited. Will create a ‘real’ blog for work now. Hmphf!! Asked to help [...]

I Love My Yaub!

I like my boss and, generally, all of the people I work with. I get to use new tech in my everyday business and work with teachers who are WANTING to learn these new things. I like learning new things. I love having a MacBook Pro for free. *snicker* But my job gives me great [...]

Movie Buffs?

Took and additional state Technology Applications certification test this morning. I was stressing about it. I had 5 hours to finish and left in under 2 hours. I feel pretty good about it. But now it is time to take an afternoon nap, unpack some more crap, and relax all day.
Next week I will be [...]

About to take a small break

First of all, Big Thanks! to Hoosier for recognizing my blog by awarding it the Thinking Blogger Award.  Coming from someone who has gained such a following is a very nice plus. I’ll try to put stuff out there that is worthy of the award.
Well, it’s  been a long week. I’ve been training my ass [...]

Sunday, mid conference

Thought 1: Economy hotels with holes in the walls get free wireless. VERY nice hotel I was in wouldn’t give wireless or wall connect for free. Nope, $12 a day. Seems all ‘high class’ hotels expect you to pay for internet but economies can afford to give it away?? No f’ing sense.
Thought 2: Don’t pull [...]
