Weekend Plans

It seems as though most weekends I don’t have a problem picking what to do. Most weekends I don’t have multiple options floating around. This weekend is a bit of an overload. I have been asked to go to my cousin’s softball tournament on Saturday and Sunday. On Saturday it is roughly 9am until 12pm, […]

Refining the Online Presence

I feel like I have been fighting with my digital identity for a long time now. I start on these little projects of integrating things and it just never seems to all come together. I was originally intending to work with SiteEngine to have a central place for all of the content related to me. […]

Missing Handcuffs

A slight mystery has come about here. I am attempting to locate a pair of Galls Standard Handcuffs that I have not seen in a while. The cuffs are fairly cheap, but I was hoping to use them to make a more complex restraint (utilizing the cuffs, a connector chain and a pair of boot […]

Recommendations for the Future of Education

Almost all schools now have an “online learning platform”, whether it is Moodle, Blackboard, Blackboard Vista (previously WebCT) or some other means of providing students access to online course content.
