If you’ve never met me in person, you may not be aware that I’m a fairly sarcastic person. In fact, I’m so well-known for it that when I don’t zing somebody, everyone worries.
Depending on your point of view, I probably sound like an awful person, but nearly all of those people who worry when […]
I’ve fallen behind on Lorelle’s blogging challenges, so I thought I’d attempt to take care of two at the same time, since they’re related.
She first asked everyone to write about a time when they felt big. For me, that would probably be a couple of years ago when I was really in the groove of […]
When I first saw the commercials for How to Look Good Naked, I blew it off initially. I don’t know what I thought the show was supposed to be about, but after seeing the commercial several more times, I started understanding what the point of the show was supposed to be, and I knew I […]
When I first decided to try to teach a jewelry design class at the local craft store, my mother thought I was crazy. She couldn’t understand why I’d want to teach people to do what I can do. I thought the answer was fairly obvious: While I was teaching them the techniques through projects done […]
What you do completely overrides what you say. Always. No exceptions.
Some of my students learn this the hard way. They tell their parents they’re somewhere, get caught somewhere else (and it’s usually a really bad place to be caught), and then can’t figure out why their parents have a hard time believing what they say […]
Last week, I shared the joys of using a d20 for a few non-gaming tasks. Today, I’d like to share the next geeky item to fall victim to my need to fill a quick gap.
I design jewelry. (Those curious may visit my deviantArt account. I’ve slowly been creating new pieces again.) I haven’t figured out […]
Somehow, I amazingly have the “All Items” section of Reader completely under control. The only things in there before I started reading through the posts that came in overnight were a few posts on infographics and knowledge management (leading to the startling realization that I had no “information literacy” tag in del.icio.us), and I read […]
It sounds a bit weird, but watching cartoons has really shaped a lot of the behind-the-scenes work at the still-on-hiatus Dead Bunny Educational site.
Avatar: the Last Air Bender and Magi-Nation both give me things to think about every time I watch them. How to build a story around character education, math education, and science education. […]
The d20, or the twenty-sided die, is well-known to gamers. This little bundle of joy has helped many a gamer take down insignificant creatures and get squashed into the afterlife by really big monsters. Gamers tend to have something of a love-hate relationship with this die as a result. Most of the ones I […]
I feel a bit silly saying that, as it ended for me a week ago.
My goal this time around was to write two books- specifically the two books that ended up intertwined in last year’s NaNo attempt. I successfully wrote the first book by November 13.
Then life intervened, as it always does in November during […]
