Twisted

Earlier in the month I held a craft night for hispanic heritage month. I taught students how to make these:

Most of the students were able to get the hang of it...but some made things that looked like this:

Apparently there are many young adults that lack some fine motor skillz. You would think with all the video games and texting they do they would be a little better...but sadly no.

the power of paint

Today I made this sign in paint

Apparently adults need some instructions...

Internet Glitter

If there was no internet I would not get anything done...or I might get more done (damn you facebook games). But anyway, I have to say that I have recently been impressed with my online skillz as of late. I recently made this website...wait I cant give you the address bc then my secret identity would be revealed. Anway, I made an awesome website with a very user friendly service called weebly.com.

Also, I made a kick ass blog for a professional organization I am a part of. It also includes a forum...which was a huge debate when we were deciding if we should make a blog...some ppl wanted a blog others a forum but they didnt know that what they wanted was a forum. Ps. if you want to have a forum on your blogger go to www.nabble.com and get a free embeddable forum and embed it on one of your blogger pages using the html widget.

Them: "I want a blog where anyone can comment and post"
me: "that would be a forum"
them: "Whatever it is called I want that"
me: "So do you want a blog or a forum"
them: "A blog...where people can post"
me: "Like I said...that is a forum"
them"whatever"
me: "dont worry....i will make all your internet dreams come true with some glitter and pixie dust"

In other "Masters Degree" news my stepmother told me that she is using her two masters degrees to go through a page of online links and make sure that they are still live.


Also, if you want to know what my office is like every day ask me for my co-workers secret blog...I will email it to you if you give me your email address.

Helping students

This morning I got the following email:

HI 

I am trying to get your stapler open but it wont budge. How do you open this thing?

(Context: I lent a student my stapler for the weekend so that they could work on their bulletin boards for the residence hall they are an RA for)

This is the email I sent back:

There is a little latch on the side that looks like this (I hope you like my paint drawing…)
