Christmas Images
Originally uploaded by dr.coop

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 [...]



Happy Holidays from the Boomers

Dec 26th, 2009 | By coop | Category: All About Me

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 [...]

How I Make My Videos

Nov 11th, 2009 | By coop | Category: Technology, Video

If 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 [...]



November is National (Fill in the Blank) Month

Nov 2nd, 2009 | By coop | Category: Adventure, Blogging, Video

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, [...]



It’s VloMo09 Time Again

Nov 1st, 2009 | By coop | Category: All About Me

Last year I participated in VloMo08, which is an event where participants post a video everyday for the month of November. I successfully made it through the whole month posting videos, and although it was stressful on some days because I just couldn’t come up with any interesting ideas for videos, I still had fun. [...]



Multitalking on the Plane to Boston by way of Atlanta

Oct 14th, 2009 | By coop | Category: News

This 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.

Slowly Making the Adjustments

Jul 22nd, 2009 | By coop | Category: News, Work

So 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 [...]

ASU Graduation 2009
Originally uploaded by dr.coop
I was really excited when my friend and colleague Shelley Rodrigo invited me to go to her graduation at ASU last night. I’m not big on crowds or ceremonies. Heck, I didn’t even go to my own graduations for my Master’s at NAU or my doctorate at Nova Southeastern University. [...]



Oye! Tech Can Be Frustrating

Apr 23rd, 2009 | By coop | Category: Confessions, Technology, Web 2.0

So I decided I would “help a brotha out” by playing with some of the tools that @cogdog has compiled on his 50 Ways to Tell a Story wiki. I decided I would try the tools that didn’t have very many examples created, with the thought of helping @cogdog build his collection. Well, let me [...]
