Day 6: VLOOKUP & TRUE – oooh
Coming back to The Google Sheets course... Just loved seeing the "precedence" drag and drop in the conditional formatting rules. While I don't imagine when I'll use it, I have often used VLookup in the past. Having the resulting table also include visual queues? A recipe for greatness!
Updating my resume
Nothing to see here. That sure is a shame. 10/28 update: I don't know when I stopped having my resume on my website. I know it's in LinkedIn... but it is time to have it back here. For my coworkers, managers, and team: I don't want to leave UAF eLearning. I do want to do more. It's time to update my resume, and that means sprucing up my website, adding new posts, doing a general culling of fluff. Notes on what to include Program management People management…
Brand new day
Yesterday I received my VoiceThread Certified Educator badge through VoiceTread (Credly badge displayed). Next up is Google for Education Certified Trainer. May it take less than a year. I'm supposed to get it done by April 2018. Coolio. Let's begin.
Breakfast anyone?
I should be grading. I was grading. Why am I awake at 3:14a? Oh well. Just discovered CANVA... Decided to work on non-work. Duh. I'm VP on Enep'ut's board. Tuesday, Michael (P) and I are having an informal parent meet and greet. But we mean we meet, you eat! MAR 07: appreciate parents by Janene McMahan
Instant Pot
So, I got a new kitchen toy in mid December. I've not used it anywhere near as much as I would like. This is a post to admit that, and to say ... ONE TIME per month—at a minimum—I intend to try something new with it. What's up for January? ... Not quite sure - just grabbed "Instant Pot Ultimate CookBook: The Complete Pressure Cooker Guide with Delicious and Healthy Instant Pot Recipes (Instant Pot Cookbook, Pressure Cooker Recipes Book 1)" I need to check through my…
Getting serious about Twitter?
Egads! I'm a professional. I've been online since (okay, I won't say)... but in the five years I've had a Twitter account--the one I use, not the one I want--I've not tweeted *enough.* Enter IF THIS THEN THAT to the rescue. I most certainly have communicated a LOT and shared cool tools and how-tos via different web interfaces. Let's consolidate. "Let's get connected..." Now, the interesting thing to me was WHEN I decided to start pushing my WP posts to my Twitter feed, I was presented with a…
2015 in review
The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2015 annual report for this blog. It is pretty clear to me that I need to blog more! Essentially, I used this site in 2013-2014 to demonstrate what you (a UAF student) could do with a free blog on the WordPress.com site. Please note that the free accounts do limit a few things... and every once in a while they display an ad--at the bottom of your post. However, it is a great space to start learning the WordPress dashboard!…

Make your own
Last June I thought I'd just make all of Aedan's baby food... That worked really well for a few months. Then somewhere around Thanksgiving or a wee bit later it became more important for him to have more solid food. Still, I'm making quite a bit of his food, just not all.
Make your own (A)
Some of your posts just should not have (visually and creatively speaking) a massive title. See this other post without a title. Last June I thought I'd just make all of Aedan's baby food... That worked really well for a few months. Then somewhere around Thanksgiving or a wee bit later it became more important for him to have more solid food.

The beauty of a thing
Is often in its simplicity. Years ago I loved reading comic books. I am a Marvel fan. However, I came across a DC comic that had a character by the name of "Valda" in it. "Hey, that's me!" I'm no warrior--unless you count dealing with cold temperatures without an auto-start.
