I attended your presentation on the Raspberry Pi Wednesday last week at the Princeton Public Library. The week before I attended your presentation on Arduino.

I just wanted to say thank you. I am familiar with IT concepts (I manage servers and automation tools in my job) and I had heard about Arduino and the RPi but wanted to see the devices for real and get an introduction to the products that goes beyond PR. Not only was the technical content of your presentations interesting, but you made it lively and accessible…

But above all, what I remember of these two presentations is your input outside the geeky stuff and tech for tech’s sake that is sometimes the lot of enthusiasts explaining “cool gadgets”. Your approach mentioning creativity, learning, sharing, getting away (if only for a short while) from consumerism, and the use of technology as (only) a means to express one’s creativity was very refreshing.

John was a good person to work with. He was one of the first board of directors. He came up with some great ideas and art for the group and a good branding plan for LUG/IP.

Sad to see it go, for it was awesomeness itself. All month, we saw more people gravitate to that area of the Second Floor than usual. Every time I glanced over, people had slowed down to stand in front of each Sketch, or to sit and gaze tranquilly at the exhibit as a whole. Wherever 365Sketches:The Exhibit goes next, it will make people stop and really look the way they should!

I’ve had the privilege to study with John in two classes, as well as interact with him several times during my time at Rider. He is very intelligent and always quick to address the things that are most essential in regards to solving problems. In short, he’s a joy to study/work with and a humble man to cap it all.

“John drastically trimmed costs by offering phone consultations ‘at point of need.’ I accomplished what I could, and he guided me through the next steps. I am a Very Happy Camper.”

John, this is to thank you for once again taking us to a higher level of knowledge about the Internet and computers in general. We got some great info on what Google + can offer. I definitely enjoyed going deeper into hangouts, and plan to try it out, as it develops over time… I’m sure much interest was planted among the attendees.  I also enjoyed your insights into Pinterest, and while you spoke, picked up some great stuff to pin on my boards… It looks like there’s some more to come, and we’ll be in touch for the next installment! Thank you once again for a great presentation!

John demonstrated his professionalism when taking classes and developing projects. He is very committed to the projects and he also pays attention to the team’s idea towards the project. John enriches the discussions with new perspectives and views of solving problems. John is friendly, very much organized and a respectable leader . It was a pleasure to be part of John’s team. I certainly recommend John.

Other testimonials

After a recent presentation on Inkscape to the NJ Association of Library Assistants, I got this wonderful letter from an attendee.

“Hi Mr. LeMasney, I attended your 2:15-3:45 afternoon class yesterday on June 7, 2011.  I couldn’t go without thanking you for your time and sharing the education with me as a student.  The class will benefit me in the future.  It was a lot to grasp but eventually I will learn it all.  Your class gave me a good start…It felt great to sit in a classroom environment again being that I’ve been out of school for a while.  This class encouraged me to continue my education.  The reason why I’m writing you is because I had to leave your class a few minutes early due to transportation and I didn’t have the chance to thank you at the end of the class.  You deserve all respect and the right to know that it was appreciated.  Take care until the next NJALA Conference.”

Diane, who does the programming for a New York users group said this in response to a seminar on Inkscape:

“Thank you for the time and energy you invested to create a stupendous presentation.  I wanted to let you know that you opened quite a few eyes at the meeting! They want more!”

Jane, a recent attendee to my talk on the Future of Mobile Technologies said:

“I would like to follow you around for a day and listen.  I just got my masters and still think that following you around for a day would be the best 8 hours of education I could get.”

Alice Parfitt, a recent Inkscape workshop attendee said:

“In the next two weeks, I want to learn everything about Inkscape that you haven’t already taught us. When this Inkscape workshop is finished, I hope you will plan something similar for GIMP and other creative technologies. If I were still in library school…I would try to do an internship with you….Someone told me they took a class in photo editing with you at NJLA this year? I would like to hear more about this… Would you ever be interested in doing programs at OCL for staff and/or the public? I’ve learned a lot from you and am very impressed with your knowledge, philosophy, and teaching style.  ”

In hearing that we were able to extend a series of workshops at Princeton Public Library on Inkscape from 4 weeks to five, attendee Beth Plankey said

“This is exactly what I was hoping for. I am delighted. I would gladly attend every Monday for the rest of my life! It may take that long to learn all that Inkscape can do. Thanks ever so much to all of you!”

A third attendee, Martha Otis, who was not able to make all the PPL sessions, remarked hopefully about future sessions:

“I am glad to have had an intro to this marvelous program by a patient and imaginative teacher. Sorry I’ll miss classes but grateful for what I learned. Keep me informed please.”

I was recently voted in as one of the most interesting NJ Librarians to hear present in an open internet survey, though I am not, in fact, a Librarian. Many people have mistaken my passion for Libraries as an actual MLS. (http://redlibcomic.blogspot.com/2010/08/winners-most-likelynj-librarians-survey.html)

Other quick comments from recent session feedback forms:

John was so organized, knowledgeable, over all just excellent.

John rocks.

Great information, especially from John. I liked how he was able to concisely explain the various technology tools that are available.

I had a lot of questions about technology that were answered during the session. I’m sure I’ll have to call the Technology office less often this fall now that I know how to post things on Blackboard, etc.

John was terrific! A great source and valuable resource!
