New life in stillness.

April 5, 2017 by robin2go Leave a Comment

Photo of a clump of new daffodils in garden, white and yellow buds beginning to bloom amid dead winter plants.

It’s finally spring. I’m finally cleaning. My house, much like most of my life, has been in an upheaval and it has taking this long for me to give a damn and do something about it. I am not kidding when I say there’s no place where I haven’t let things go. My books. My […]

Collapse and think and remember and thank.

October 14, 2016 by robin2go Leave a Comment

This has been one hell of a two month sprint. My timecards show me out more than I’ve been in. My Asana dashboard consistently, insistently shows me multiple tasks overdue. I’m hit and miss on email because Slack keeps me hopping on the critical tasks that need to be addressed. I’ve even taken to saving my […]

Travel friendly.

June 23, 2013 by robin2go Leave a Comment

Yesterday I got up at 4am to make sure I was out the door in time for my flight (not that I was anxious or anything). I’m gone for three weeks to do some speaking, some learning, and some hanging with people I like on the west coast. By the time I got across the […]

Gaming the system.

December 5, 2012 by robin2go 1 Comment

Gaming. It’s a dog-eat-dog world and, let’s face it, it seems squarely skewed to the guy realm. There’s a lot out there about how gaming is a male dominated playground and, while female gamers are on the rise, they’re not particularly welcome, either. Now, I’m not a gamer, but the occasional subversive gender swap makes […]

Change your mind.

July 18, 2012 by robin2go Leave a Comment

I’ve just stumbled across THNKR, a YouTube channel of an amazing collection of videos by @radicalmedia whose sole purpose is to expose you to people, stories, places and thinking that will change your mind. Check out their trailer, below. I am a little bit in love with them. Okay, a lot in love with them. […]

R.E.M.bering.

July 8, 2012 by robin2go 4 Comments

Some of you who knew-me-when know that I was a DJ in a previous life. For 10 years (!!?!) I spun real vinyl in high school, two college radio stations, and oh-so-very-briefly in a NYC club on the east side. To this day I sorely miss DJing, because it was a great time in my life […]

Passion in the workplace.

May 24, 2012 by robin2go Leave a Comment

As I continue on this journey that is my life, I’ve discovered my core values have become critical criteria in job considerations. It is now clear to me that my happiness in the workplace is dependent on much more than monetary compensation by itself. This was not always my focus. In my twenties, I was […]

Workspace inspiration.

May 14, 2012 by robin2go 3 Comments

Just started following Whitney Hess on Twitter (don’t look at me like that. I have NO idea why I hadn’t been following her before and must fall back on the old “it wasn’t strictly edtech” excuse), and she linked to a fabulous article in the lastest .net magazine on 20 leading web designers’ desks for […]

An invocation for beginnings.

April 11, 2012 by renegade element 2 Comments

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 […]

Wrapping up the year that was.

December 27, 2011 by renegade element

from handmaderyangosling.tumblr.com

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…

Growler radio.

September 16, 2011 by renegade element

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 …

One of my favorite pastimes: text trolling @shelleyKeith.

It’s Election Day. If you haven’t done so yet, get out and VOTE. It’s your planet, your country, your right, and your voice.
