Robin to go.
You might have seen a theme in my last few posts. Recently, I’ve been feeling a need jump start my life in a new direction — to push my boundaries, explore new territories, and rediscover the passion in my work. I’ve been incredibly lucky to find amazing opportunities in my current position at Penn State […]
An invocation for beginnings.
This put a shudder through me, and swept away some doubts I’ve been struggling with. Thank you, Ze Frank, for stepping up the game. This says everything I’ve wanted to say but didn’t know how. Everything I wanted to start but didn’t know how. I hope you feel an impact from this. I hope you […]
Hitting the reset button.
Hi, my name is Robin2go, and it’s been 63 days since my last confession. Errr, blog post. Seriously. This is has been a tricky couple of months for me but, even still, I’m not sure where the time has gone. While I’ve tried to make blogging a priority, it seems like things have just gotten […]
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes.
Today is the day a project launches that I can finally talk about: the Penn State home page redesign. Yes, you heard me. Today marks the first time in over a decade that the home page is changing. Surprise! Actually, today’s change is a relatively small one, and only the first of several changes that will be […]
Sneak peak.
Now that we’re back from break and diving into a brand new year, preparations kick into high gear on the TLT Symposium. I can’t believe that there’s only 72 days until this year’s event. There’s still a lot to do, but I enjoy watching the event take shape as pieces begin to fall into place. […]
Wrapping up the year that was.
It’s hard to believe we are in December, literally days away from the University shutdown for winter break. There are a million blog posts I’m behind on, and a ton of work items still on my to do list, but with the office half-staffed, I’m feeling like…
The silence and the fury.
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.
Steve Jobs died yesterday. We all knew it was coming, because a guy like him doesn’t step down from a job he loves without a struggle. He was an inspirational force of nature, and I took some time this morning to scroll through my twitter feed, watchi…
Growler radio.
Tonight I was working late and happened to tune into #ds106radio with Cole Camplese and Alan “Cogdog” Levine. (Side note: I can’t explain it with justice; just go read up on Digital Storytelling and ds106 Radio yourself. For I digress.) Five …
The rest of the story.
Last week, my friend Tim (@thecobblr) posted a link on Twitter to a YouTube video of two boys trying to replicate the magician’s tablecloth trick, with somewhat mixed results.
As videos go, it was a little giggle. But I noticed it looked like ther…
