A reminder that I have extended Office Hours this week: Today (Thursday) from 12–2PM, and tomorrow (Friday) from 11AM–12PM.

As we discussed during class yesterday, there is NO CLASS on Monday, Dec 12.

Yesterday was our last, in-person class. (P.S. Everyone who asked for an extension until Dec 12 on their Final Portfolio received one.)

I will be available to you Online for questions or help. I wish you good luck with your other classes and exams.

..on Wednesday. Yes, Nov 2’s class will have us looking at you for a whole 60 seconds. Hey, you can even take over the AV lectern and show us visuals if you like.

You talk; we listen. So please be prepared to share your project at any stage it is in Right NOW. (Chances are, we will *snap*.)

Also: I would like to see everyone weighing in here via post and comment on OpenLab, as I requested last week.

See you soon.

(doesn’t have to be as formal as this…but hey, he is trying)

Another topic might be… how I use my cell phone. I am less clear on this topic,

but

I have a sort of cranky theory that by being an older person, I can — and should — get away with not always having to text and use my phone. I imagine myself writing a short sassy opinion piece about how using a cell phone should have a “tipping point.” I feel like if I have responded quickly to enough texts and emails and other stuff over the years, that it should all add up somehow. Now, if you write me, and I wait a few days to get back to you, you know: I’ve earned it, Honey. Don’t expect much.

Okay, please comment on any of my ideas if you have any thoughts. I appreciate it.

P.S. This topic idea is inspired by Malcolm Gladwell’s pop culture notion that if you do something for 10,000 hours, you are a master.
