Pick your #heweb09 #shelleyfund SkinIt

As promised, I’m going to get a SkinIt for the HP Mini that resulted from the #shelleyfund movement at #heweb09. The goal is to give props to all who contributed weighted by amount contributed. To that end, I’d like you guys to pick the image to get printed. Options 1-4 (left to right) shown below:

I’m also happy to consider alternate ideas.


What would saving on health care mean to you?

I got an email from MoveOn.org that prompted me to submit an answer to this question. After I spewed forth my frustrated rant into the space provided I decided to share it with all of you.

It would mean I could put money in savings, start to pay off credit cards, and maybe, just maybe, afford to be able to actually GO to the doctor since I still have a deductible and co-pay to worry about.

The ~$1440 I would save could mean I could fix my roof, put new tires on my vehicle, start paying off my student loans, do something about my damaged driveway, eat less hamburger helper, go out with friends occasionally, buy textbooks, buy gas, or buy new glasses since these are several years old. It’d be like a raise since I’m not going to get one this year because the economy tanked.

Lightening round…

HighEdWeb 2008 was amazing.

I’m glad it’s been podcast or I’d be in trouble since I was running around like a crazy person pretty much the whole time. Met some really wonderful people…shout out to my peeps.

WP update

I just updated to WP 2.6.2. Been using it at work since release, but I tend to be slow to do things with Eironae. I also applied a new theme and installed a Twitter plugin since I’ve now become officially addicted.

meh.

That’s it, no big post today. I’m still sick with some fun chesty/throaty goodness, Woot.com is having a Woot-Off today but they keep sticking poo in there and slowing the whole thing down, I’ve discovered claimID recently and been playing with that when I should be writing my history paper (the one that was due LAST Monday) or going to algebra class (which I haven’t done since before I went to NY). I’ve got a tutoring session setup tomorrow with the professor to catch me up, he’s being very understanding.

There’s something weird about my newfound Facebook obsession…I was never that into it until this week.

The initial leg-work is in process to establish a statewide higher-ed web organization. I’m gathering information from similar groups throughout the country in hopes of making minor modifications to, rather than reinventing, the wheel. I’m planning to delve into that quite a bit tomorrow since I’ve built a decent list of resources over the last week.

If you’re surprised that being gone and/or sick for a week has put me seriously behind at work, raise your hand. I’ve got people coming at me from all angles. Such is life when you’re the only one that does what you do on an entire campus. Thank god the library has a competent content manager over there or I’d just curl up in a corner and cry.

Smurf out.
