I have used John’s services a number of times and found him to be extremely knowledgeable with a genuine desire to make people self sufficient rather than creating a revenue stream for himself. I highly recommend taking him up on his free consultation to see what John is all about, you will be impressed.

(The logo designed for Tame the Web) is beautiful!  I’ve been following TTW for over 10 years and this logo captures the feel so well.  I have thoroughly enjoyed your website this evening after enjoying your BYOD doc on Tech Training in Libraries FB page.

John is a talented, enthusiastic manager of technologies and an engaging, dedicated instructor, patient and supportive to those not as well exposed to teaching tools and methodologies. It was these very qualities, as well as his technical expertise, that encouraged me to present with him and to co-author a book chapter on Web 2.0 tools. John goes out of his way to make himself available to those in need of professional development. I am honored to be his colleague at Rider University.

I needed a logo for my blog – and I knew from the beginning I wanted John to do it. I have been following his work and I like his design voice, his talent for making lots of different designs – So i had no doubt that John would be the person to make the design I wanted – he did live up to my expectations in every way. I love working with Pros – and John is definitely one.

John Lemasney is an engaging speaker and open source revolutionary, with a knack for developing presentations aimed at teaching the basics of design. The New York Library Association – Section on the Management of Information Resource and Technology invited John to deliver his presentation, Practically Designed, for our annual Continuing Education Spring Workshop in June, 2010 and would gladly do so again. His presentation was informative and entertaining, leaving the audience with a new perspective on design and its role in their daily lives. We look forward to the opportunity to host John as a presenter in the future.

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!

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!
