Tie a Day, Number 39
This is the only Thanksgiving tie that I own. Really it is a Tabasco tie with a Native American on it. I am not sure how an Indian and hot sauce go together, but I am sure the relationship is as defensible as my association of a plains Indian chief on a Tabasco tie with Thanksgiving.You can just make out the Tabasco logo in a watermark kind of thing (how do they do that in silk?) patterned in the background.
I only wore one tie this past week and I will wear one next week after the holiday break. I will be at the VSTE conference in Roanoke, VA on three of my normal school tie days. I will not be wearing ties there, but maybe a mullet!
Happy Thanksgiving!

VSTE is coming!
A cross state road trip, combining technology and education, may not sound fun to everyone, but I am really looking forward to it. I have been going over my packing list, but so far I can only think about the technology I need to bring with me. No way can I forget my backup to the backup laptop, or my cell phone recharger cable! That stuff is important. I can swing by Walmart and get fresh underwear and they always give you… Continue

True Story
Monday, February 23rd, 8:17 AM
Thirteen minutes before the first session of the day, I was preparing for a Second Life hands on presentation at the VSTE conference. While trying to make sure that everyone was settling in, and understood what the session would be about, my cell phone buzzed. I quickly unsheathed the mobile device and checked the number. It was my school.
Something was wrong.
Imagining t… Continue

VSTE Friday
VSTE Island will be open to the public and I will be helping people get set up in Second Life. No Pressure!
I want everything to be perfect, but I am not perfect, so it is an unrealistic expectation. But I am still working on all kinds of things!
Needing a break today, I checked my twitter account and saw that… Continue

VSTE Island
I am sure that all will go well, but there will always be small things that come up.
Last week at the Monday night VSTE meeting, which begins at 8pm, we introduced the island to all Second Life VSTE members. At 8:01 my computer started acting like it was running through syrup or something. I ran through all the normal checks, graphics sett… Continue

- Worn out from the weekend. The air show was great! Having friends visit was super, but altogether it wears me out. :-P

- No I am still using my old, slow personal laptop. Melissa Hill picked mine up this afternoon to re-image it and thought she might have it back before the end of the day but guess not. I will pick it up tomorrow afternoon. I need to spend some time on the network reinstalling software before I take it on the road.
