Audio Apology
This isn’t so much a podcast as it is an audio apology. I don’t have any ideas for topics today. Sorry.

I’ll be in Pennsylvania all next week to visit with friends and family and perhaps spend a day or two at Musikfest in beautiful Bethlehem, PA. This doesn’t mean that I’ll be taking a break from podcasting, although I probably won’t be posting the MP3s in the middle of the day like I normally do. …
Hometown Tales
One of my favorite diversions is listening to a good story. It could be about someone beating incredible odds, or just something incredibly odd. I suppose that’s why I listen to Hometown Tales – they’ll do a podcast on just about any story, from ghosts to good sandwiches. My only complaint is that it looks …

And with the internet it’s easy to find plans for hundreds of DIY projects – from using a soda …

Today I’d like to talk about a little thing the art community calls “Form vs. Function,” and relate it to education in general. An item’s function, as we all know, is what it does – what it’s purpose is. Form, on the other hand, is what it looks like. Both can be equally important, but …

In this podcast I talk about my “Don’t L.A.F.” policy and come up with an idea for my 100th podcast. Yesterday I was browsing my Furl links when I noticed a blog I had bookmarked but hadn’t subscribed to in over a year. Wondering how things had changed, I clicked away … And immediately hit …
