The silence and the fury.

November 10, 2011 by renegade element

This week has been a week like none other at Penn State. Our community has been rocked by the scandal of a sexual predator in our midst, and accusations of who knew what when. For someone who uses writing as a catharsis, I haven’t even attempted t…

Life and loss in 140 characters.

October 6, 2011 by renegade element

Finding your strengths.

July 29, 2011 by renegade element

One of my coworkers went to a leadership conference a couple of weeks ago, where they participated in a number of exercises to discover what their personal strengths are and how they can leverage those strengths in the workplace. It was such a positive…

That’s code for something, right?

July 7, 2011 by renegade element

The QR Code: Up-and-coming, or flash-in-the-pan? It seems that manufacturers are anxious to try every new technology that comes along, and marketers are no better. Magazine ads are rife with those pixelated boxes. Business cards offer QR codes as a way…

Plus one.

June 30, 2011 by renegade element

After months of rumors, yesterday Google launched their Google+ project. Project, mind you. Not product. We’ll talk about that later. But for most of the day my Twitter feed was on fire with complaints of not having access to Google+ (we geeks are a wh…

Out, out, damned spam.

June 28, 2011 by renegade element

Lately, this blog has been under a massive spam attack. I’ve been getting, on average, 24 – 36 spam comments a day — which means I also get 24 – 36 emails notifying me of spam comments in my inbox. This is a rant, and I know it’s a rant, but roll wi…

Putting the fun in functional.

June 9, 2011 by renegade element

Summer is a personal favorite of mine. Not for the reasons you think — well, perhaps for the reasons you think. Living in a college town means that summer is the time with a respite from the doubled population of town and gown; we can get coffee in th…

29 WAYS TO STAY CREATIVE from TO-FU on Vimeo.

This morning, @LaurenEBeal posted this video that struck home. I’ve been having some mental blockage with my blogging, and it is all piling up relentlessly. It also doesn’t help that I’ve been playing with…

Buffalo winging it.

May 18, 2011 by renegade element

I’m sitting in a pub house in Buffalo, New York, drinking a beer and waiting. Waiting for my food, because I’m suddenly ravenously hungry after not eating since breakfast this morning in State College, Pennsylvania. Waiting because I’m en route to PSE…

I want you to know.

If you do nothing else today, I want you to spend five minutes of your time watching this PSA. Believe me, I’ll wait.

Engagement at TLT Symposium.

March 24, 2011 by renegade element

We are two days away from one of my favorite events of the year. While the full name is a bit of a mouthful–The Penn State Symposium for Teaching and Learning with Technology–we fondly refer to it simply as Symposium. This is an event packed to overf…
