On May 31st, 2012, I got the opportunity to teach high school students about Inkscape, open source software, and open standards. I went over basic functionality in Inkscape, demonstrated some design techniques, and helped students with portfolio based projects. Special thanks to Mike Harris and Debi Dixler.
On 5/23/2012 I gave a talk to the Newcomers of West Windsor on the benefits and functions of Pinterest, and got a chance to talk about the gentle move towards PNG from GIF and JPG, as well as the increased importance of visual communication skills for the average person. The response from the organizer was “Thank you so much for the wonderful job you did lecturing at Tech Talks on the history of images on the web and Pinterest. Your depth of knowledge always amazes me. You are our favorite teacher.”
Today I had a great veggie and fruit lunch at Frist that was inexpensive, lovely, and tasty. Spinach, carrots, mac and cheese, and zucchini.
Then, for dinner, I had a pizza with sliced mozzarella on top, with French pressed coffee.
Lettuce and tomato on flatbread with hummus. I’ve decided that any time in the future that I might use mayonnaise, I’ll use hummus instead. 1 Tbsp hummus = 30 calories and 3g of fat while 1 Tbsp Mayo = 60 calories and 4.9 grams of fat.
