I’m steamed & this kettle is about to blow!

by Stephanie M. Cockerl on September 3, 2011

It’s not often that I pull the angry auntie, or tia card (depends how you are talking to.) This all started a long time ago, when women weren’t allowed to do certain things. Fast forward to today. At the recent #140edu conference in New York City, Lynn Langit (@llangit) – co-founder of Teaching Kids Programming [...]

Technology Spring Cleaning in Progress

by Stephanie M. Cockerl on March 27, 2011

This morning, I ran across and tweeted a NYT article titled Gadgets You Should Get Rid Of (or Not). Personally, this process has been going on with me for months, no years. For instance, I ditched my landline 2 days before Chirstmas. Since the landline is gone, I downgraded my 4 in 1 printer for a [...]

My grandmother asked me this morning if I turned the calendar over. The truth is that I haven't "turned it over" in months. In between my laptop, desktop, phone and Touch, [...]
