Happy Holidays from the Boomers
I have to say I was very impressed when I received this video in an email from my mom and her husband. I mean it’s nothing extraordinary but the fact that they were able to shoot, edit, and upload this video to share with family is quite amazing. I make big bucks teaching Boomerz class [...]

I'm not sure why November is the month, but it is. It's the month that thousands of people try to write a 50,000 word novel in the 30 days of November. They call it NaNoWriMo - National Novel Writing Month. Then there is another group participating in NaBloPoMo - National Blog Posting Month. Yeah, they're goal is to post ...
Track Reunion: Going Back to Say Thanks
Me & Coach Craig Originally uploaded by dr.coop This past weekend I drove to Bakersfield, CA for my college Track & Field and Cross Country reunion. I graduated from California State University Bakersfield 20 years ago, and I had never been back. That’s not because I didn’t enjoy my time there. In ...
Road Trip to Strawberry
Motorcycle Girls Originally uploaded by cogdogblog C and I took another quick road trip this weekend to escape the heat of the valley. We usually try to get out of town early in the morning before it gets too hot. But this trip was different because we were going up to Strawberry ...
Hawley Lake Camping for the 4th
We go up to Hawley Lake every summer for some rest and relaxation on the lake. It's just so beautiful up there. We went for the first time the first week in June, but decided we would come back up for the 4th of July since we love it so much. We'd never been in July, and now we know ...
Proud to Call Them Friends
IMG_2211 Originally uploaded by nooccar I've been working in the Maricopa Community College District now for 10 years, and I've met plenty of people along the way. Some of these people it's a real honor to work with and others are a joy to call colleagues, but very few are people I'd want to hang out with after hours. That all changed ...
Finally Got Some Vid Off My Camera
What a nightmare experience that was. Yes, it wasn't easy, even for me. I shot some video yesterday of my hike on Piestewa Peak, but when I got home and tried to download it, I couldn't. Turns out I needed the AC cable, which I did not have. So today I got it, and started once again to download my ...

A few months ago I was visiting my mother and I noticed this picture frame on a bookshelf in her living room. I thought it odd that there was not a picture in the frame and was curious as to what one would frame instead of a picture. Well, you can [...]
Multitalking on the Plane to Boston by way of AtlantaThis flight is awesome. It better be because flying on Delta is not cheap. But we each have our own little tv for movies, games and more, and this flight has wifi. Sweet! I could care less when we land. So were flying to Atlanta, changing planes and then on to Boston.

How I Make My VideosIf you haven’t noticed, I’m doing VloMo09 again this year. This is where you create one video everyday for the month of November. That’s 30 videos in 30 days. I did it last year, so I thought, what the heck, I’ll try it again. So here I am. I’m going to tell you how I’m [...]

Slowly Making the AdjustmentsSo this is my first week unofficially at Glendale CC. I’ve been over there setting up my office and taking care of all the little things that make me official, like network account, phone, keys, parking passes, Blackboard classes and iTunes U classes. Most of the stuff you have to do at GCC we don’t [...]
Moving on Up to the West SideI’m in a funk at the moment, and just can’t get motivated to do all the things I really need to do. So I’m blogging. I think the reality of my decision to leave my current job has something to do with my funk. I decided some time ago to leave South Mountain CC and [...]

I’m a Superhero! Oh yeah baby! Wonder Coop is in the house!
Okay, I know. I have too much time on my hands. Actually I have very little, but I have this habit of procrastinating when the times get tight. This is how I proscratinate. I develop super heroes on the internet.
Want your own super hero? [...]
Yeah, I know. Still procrastinating. It’s all Laura’s fault. I was minding my own beezewax (what ever that is), about to get to work, and she texted me about mp3tunes.com. I don’t know how I ended up at Last.fm after that, but here’s my playlist anyway.
Have a listen to my playlist.

Back into Running Again - Sort ofI’ve decided that it’s time to make a running comeback. I ran cross country and track all through college. I was actually pretty good at it at one point. Good enough for it to pay for 5 years of college. I think I could have been better if I could have just convinced myself I [...]
Internet Keeps Me ConnectedI’m traveling this week for the TechEd conference in Ontario, CA. I’m not that far away from home, just an hour flight across the desert, but I always feel so much further away. Tonight however, I tuned into the internet to get my fix of home. Both the Diamondbacks and the Suns were playing, and [...]
