AdobeMAX – why?
Last week, I traveled half way across the country, enduring incredibly cramped conditions on multiple aircraft, waited patiently at various airports in uncomfortable chairs and took valuable time away from my classes. I didn’t realize how little time I would have to reply to email last week and am faced […]
Read MoreAdobeMAX – Wednesday
Wednesday, Oct. 27, 2010 was the last day of AdobeMAX and I tried to get as much out of this day as previous days. I participated in the following sessions: Deconstructing the HTML5 mobile development workflow – this session was presented by two Adobe employees who were instrumental of development […]
Read MoreAdobeMAX – Tuesday
I started on Tuesday with another BYOL session (Bring Your Own Laptop). This one focused on building mobile applications with jQuery. The session began with an overview of what features of a mobile phone can be accessed via the browser (and which can not). Various technologies which can speed up […]
Read MoreAdobeMAX – Monday
AdobeMAX began with the keynote by Kevin Lynch (“Welcome to the revolution”) which emphasized mobile as well as multi-screen environments (such as the digital living room). Gaming and Adobe’s acquisition of Day Content Management System were also covered. Some interesting points from the keynote included the prediction that bandwidth for […]
Read MoreLos Angeles
These are some of the photos I took while attending AdobeMAX in Los Angeles. Thought you might enjoy seeing a bit of the downtown area. Most of my time was spent in sessions and meetings so I didn’t have much of a chance to tour the city. All of these […]
Read MoreAdobeMAX, Sunday
Sunday, October 24, 2010 was a very full day. I participated in the community manager summit and the education summit. Lots of good information was received.

Thanks to Laurie Burruss, I was featured in the October, 2010 issue of the lynda.com academic newsletter. I have consistently used lynda.com as a resource to learn more about a number of topics. I never cease to be amazed as to the breadth and depth of their course offerings. I […]
Read MoreWordle of Tweets
Thought I would take a few minutes and generate a new Wordle of my Tweets. I know, it reads like English… If you want to make your own, go to TweetStats.com. I tweet roughly 2 times per day. So far, I have tweeted roughly 800 times. Lastly, I have had […]
Read MoreCHOICE Review published
I was just notified that my recent review of a book was published in the September CHOICE issue. Thought I would include a copy here. Didn’t want students to think I was slacking and only teaching classes *grin*. “Web anatomy: interaction design frameworks that work, by Robert Hoekman Jr. and […]
Read MoreDid I miss anything?
Most of my classes are online (which you take at your own pace). However, from time to time, I am asked the following question: I wasn’t in class last time. Did I miss anything? Most of the “tongue in cheek” response originally came from “The astonishing weight of the dead,” […]
Read MoreHow to succeed in class
I know everyone wants to earn an “A” in my classes. There is a secret. Let me share it. Read the textbook(s) and come to class prepared. The schedule is listed in the syllabus (linked in Moodle). Do the work (weblog, discussion forum, assignments, quizzes). Submit the work on time. […]

The fall, 2010 semester starts Monday, August 23 at Illinois Central College. As we begin, I thought it appropriate to share a few thoughts with students taking my classes in the web curriculum. First (very important)– welcome to class. I am here to help you better understand the material and […]
Read MoreDo I need Flash Player
I have been meaning to write this post for some time. Just too many things going on as summer draws to a close. At one point, I was considering purchasing an iPad. However, I realized that it doesn’t support Flash Player. That got me thinking – just how important is […]
