Goodbye 2020 (whew), welcome 2021

Goodbye 2020 (whew), welcome 2021

2020 has been a heck of a year... and maybe in hindsight (hindsight, of course, being 2020) it will all make sense. But, I think we can all agree that it is time to let it go. A lot has changed this past year but one tradition we wanted to keep alive was the short...

A couple of images… (for the heck of it)

Here are two images I created recently... August is the 8th month, so here is a little design to celebrate that fact! I had no particular reason to create this... but then again why let that get in the way of doing something... anything! The next is an image based on...

Curt becomes Bonk (and vice versa)

Curt Bonk is Professor of Instructional Systems Technology in the School of Education at Indiana University. Curt is one of the most fun academics I know. He is also a good friend. That's us at the COSN conference earlier this year. What I didn't remember was that...

Create… Emergence!

I ended the mashup TPACK commercial with the following words, Explore, Create, Share! Over the past couple of weeks my kids and I have been working on a series of short videos around these three words. The first one we made was around the idea of "Explore," titled To...

Arthur C. Clarke, RIP

Arthur C. Clarke, popularizer of science and science fiction writer died today. He was 90. Clarke was one of my favorite authors growing up though I haven't read him in a while. I still remember the thrill I felt when I read the last sentence of "Rendezvous with Rama"...
