It’s sailing season again in the lovely Baltimore Harbor. Here is a re-post from mere weeks after I learned to sail. Hopefully, I’ll add to them before my ASA 103 Course.
In preparation for classes and shunning all of my multimedia instructional technology skills, I made a pdf of flash cards that contain important sailing terms for beginners. I’m sure there are WAY more terms, but this is my first downloadable thingy for people.
While I was ego surfing checking for links to my site, I found this lovely review:

I scored a 0 out of 10 on the nuisance meter...I think that's good. They were referring to my sailing terms flash cards.
I’ve been away from my blog for a while now. In the last 60 days, I’ve given four different presentations across the country (6 in the last 90 days). Fortunately, two were pretty similar so I didn’t need to re-work the content too much.
A recap of my presentations for the year:
January 17th - I was at the Baltimore chapter of the Society of Technical Communicators (STC) and presented on new technologies and their use in communication. The topics included blogs, wikis and podcasts.

I’m transferring servers and this blog may be down for a couple of days.
I would take this as a runner-up to a jet pack.
Pendleton Ward is possibly one of the most creative/imaginative artists I’ve seen on the internet. I wish I had thought of this movie.

I could see him making a sweet Parapa-like game.
