Wedding bells will be ringing!

I don’t post too much about my personal life on this blog, but this I gotta share. My sister has gotten engaged! Her fiance, Andy, should definitely feel privileged because she has incredibly high standards in everything that she does.

Apple needs to quit crashing my browser.

I’m trying to type up a blogpost discussing all the new stuff Apple released today, and just went through the classic bloggers horror story. Spending 30 minutes typing up the perfect entry, linking everything in and then having the browser crash losing it all. I know, I know, I should type it up […]

PodcasterCon2006 : Welcome to the Con

At PodcasterCon right now getting the general introduction. This doesn’t quite feel like a conference, it feels more like a big group of people who’ve decided to all hang out on the same day. First of all, I really love the name tags that he created. They’re all 5.25” or 3.5” floppy […]

Coulee kids doing some cool podcasting!

Teach42 - The future is half empty?

Dave Warlick posted a year end podcast containing a few hundred interviews with teachers encouraging them to think about what the classroom of 2015 would look like. Unfortunately, I have to disagree with the projections of many of the teachers. I wouldn’t go so far as to say I have a pessimistic view […]
