Ready, Set, Think About It, Go?

Dabbling.

Doing old things in old ways.

Doing old things in new ways.

Doing new things in new ways.

It's how we adapt to something new in life...either in our jobs or our personal lives. This is specifically referring to the four steps schools usually take to adopt new technology (since that's my area) but I think it just applies to all of life. Anything new... we start little and slowly adapt our ways and our thoughts to it.

Did I Fall or Was I Pushed?

Don’t walk the plank like I did

You will be dispensed with

when you’ve become inconvenient

- Thom Yorke

Good lyrics for the way I feel about my job situation lately. Lessons in humility. When you've worked hard for a school for years and no one even bothers to announce you're leaving or recognize you, it hurts.

Deep DooDoo

Progress...is it ever real? ... is it only a perception? ...are there real start and end points in life? ...isn't all of life just a process that is marked by stops, changes, events? ...if there is not real start and end point, how do you measure progress?

Okay, very introspective today. I did NOT smoke anything to cause it. Just all of the changes in my life over the past year I guess. Or, maybe it's because I'm listening to Thom Yorke on my iPod.

Always check power...

...when it doesn't work, check to be sure it's plugged in. That is the first thing to look at. Sometimes common sense is uncommon. That's all I have to say.

To twitter or to blog...that is the question

I guess both. I have given up on Facebook ... it's too full of weird, time-consuming, addictive stuff.

I am working as the technologist for Summer School currently. A job that has been "re-purposed" by the district for next year. So, I am toggling between urgently needed and insignificantly unnecessary right now. Right now, I am doing exactly what you see in the picture. However, at any moment I will be called upon to solve a major crisis that will make life better for 300 students and 50 teachers.
