I rarely listen to the radio, but since I’ve moved back to New Jersey, I’ve been doing a lot of driving since my new job is located 2 hours north of where I’m currently staying. Over the last few days, a radio advertisement has been playing that got so annoyed that I had to [...]
If you missed the announcement yesterday, Google Voice is now available to everyone in the US. Google Voice is an outstanding service that I’ve been using for about a year. In short, when you sign up, you receive a phone number that you can direct to any of your phones at any time. Furthermore, [...]
I am not exactly what one would call a sports fan. While I recognize and respect how much my compatriots tend to enjoy American football and basketball, I always found myself reading a book. The one sport that I do enjoy watching is soccer/football. I’ve been a referee for 13 years as well as [...]
A few months ago, I developed a beta of a new site called Social Sig For Me. It is a web app that creates visual signatures of all your social networks for emails; it can also be used for blogs. You can see an example in the “My Social Networks” block on my right [...]
I have to give credit for the idea behind this post to my friend and science/Chinese teacher Adam Taylor as well as to Mr. Keenan for getting me thinking about it again. I am only teaching one period next year (or at least that is the plan at the moment), which is great because [...]
I read a reflective post by Will Richardson this morning on his nine years of blogging (Congratulations Will!). His post got me thinking about why I write myself. I am quickly approaching the one year anniversary of this blog and the tone and direction of the site has certainly changed since my inaugural post.
My [...] Well, I just took the plunge. I deleted my Facebook account. I didn’t deactivate it; I deleted it. It will be deleted after two weeks of non-use now (This should be a simple delete button). Hopefully, Facebook deletes all of my data off of their servers, although I have my doubts. While I realize [...]
I just had an interview for a new job today. I already had an excellent job lined up, but this one was only 2 hours away from my family, so I thought it worth at least going to the interview. The position has the lofty title of Educational Technology Specialist. I interviewed with both [...]
Right now, I am watching my young daughter play with her grandmother and great-grandmother. Because we haven’t been around family much, I find myself offering suggestions to which they reply, “We have done this before.” This reminds me of a conversation that I had earlier this week with Patrick Larkin (@bhsprincipal).
We were discussing ways [...] I admit, the title of this post may be a tad hyperbolic. However, many people have asked me what I get out if Twitter and I would like to address that question. Now, I don’t believe that one has to “get” anything for an activity to be worthwhile. I have experiences great benefits, both [...]
