Connection Revolution Revisited
Last month, I created a post on the Connection Revolution. I wanted to follow up on that post because I have been reading and thinking about this topic. Frankly, I am very nervous about the changes I see coming (and how they will affect teaching and learning). Given that I […]
Read MoreCan not connect to iTunes Store
I recently decided to obtain a book within iBooks on my iPad. Yes, I became aware of this book via Twitter (but that is a separate discussion). So, I “purchased” the free book and the download started. And… then… it… stalled. Ok, I now show a book downloading in the […]
Read MoreWindows Server 2012 First Look
I recently loaded Windows Server 2012 Standard into a Virtual environment. I downloaded this from the MS DreamSpark site. I noted a number of interface differences and thought it might be useful to some of my network security class to cover some of the basic changes. The installation is similar […]
Read MoreCSS Filters
The world of CSS is changing rapidly and CSS-filters are definitely a great indication of what is coming to a browser near you soon. In order to actually work with these, you will need Chrome Canary (the experimental version of Chrome). Note that you can run this version alongside your […]
Read MoreReveal.js
There have been a number of approaches to creating presentations which run in your browser. Perhaps one of the first I became aware of was Eric Meyer’s S5. I recently participated in a presentation which used reveal.js (created by Hakim El Hattab). Since this tool relies on HTML5, I thought […]
Read MoreFlipped Classroom
I had the distinct pleasure of collaborating with Kelly Crawford-Jones in a joint presentation on the “flipped classroom” at the second day of the ICC Great Technology Seminar (Sept. 28, 2012) in Peoria, IL. We both presented some information about how we are using flipped approaches in teaching various disciplines […]
Read MoreConnection Revolution
I participated in the ICC Great Technology Seminar on Sept. 21, 2012. It was a great event and an excellent chance to discuss many aspects regarding innovative uses of technology in the classroom (and beyond). There were a limited number of seats in these sessions. I thought those who could […]
Read MoreTutorial Builder
I recently posted a short note about Adobe Tutorial Player. Adobe also has a Tutorial Builder on the Adobe Labs site. This product has been available for nearly a year at this point. Essentially, it allows one to create a web page which documents the tasks you performed in Photoshop. […]
Read MoreTime Lapse Photography
I do enjoy taking snapshots (not photographs). That being said, I have been interested in time lapse photography. I always wondered how it was done. After a little research (along with a couple of lynda.com tutorials), I developed an understanding of how this is accomplished. The key to creating time […]
Read MoreAdobe Tutorial Player
As a teacher of web technologies, I often find that my role is to make individuals aware of possibilities. In this case, there has been a technology available for roughly a year that demonstrates the power of combining tablets and desktops. For example, one can view a tutorial on the […]
Read MoreSocial Media Sites
I am teaching a class this semester on the business use of social media (CMWEB141). In broad terms, these sites/ tools enable relationships and information sharing. As the first assignment in class, I asked students to develop a list of social media sites. Obviously, there was more to this assignment […]
Read MoreSummer of Mobile App Development
This has been my “Summer of Mobile app development with HTML5 and CSS-3 and jQuery.” I am exceedingly honored to have been a part of the WebProfessionals.org Summer 2012 conference schedule in addition to helping run the 2012 national web design contest in Kansas City in June. I spoke at […]
Read MoreLorem ipsum
We are all familiar with the filler text used on various mock-ups (web sites and more). It typically begins with “Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur…” and continues for a number of paragraphs. I accidentally discovered a few alternatives today. Which got me to tweeting and after a number of […]
Read MoreCloudFlare
We live in interesting times (yes, this is an old Oriental curse). One of the issues we constantly face is the dreaded DDoS (Dedicated Denial of Service) attack. Tools such as LOIC (Low Orbit Ion Cannon) and its relatives (such as High Orbit Ion Cannon) are readily available and can […]
Read MoreReflection (and more) on a Mac
I have been traveling a great deal this summer giving presentations on HTML5, CSS-3, jQuery Mobile and the implications of mobile devices (such as smartphones and tablets) on teaching and learning. To simplify matters as much as possible, I have relied on my MacBook Pro and my iPad and Samsung […]

Just returned from another trip to Alaska a couple days ago. Thought I would document and include some photos. Hope you enjoy.
