These are ideas and projects LeMasney Consulting has been involved in that we are particularly interested in sharing with a larger audience.
I decided to update my Facebook profile picture to commemorate my transition from Rider to Princeton. I wanted to show the growth and possibility of Princeton, capture the new start that it provides, and the glory of working at one of the finest universities in the world.
I showed prints from my 365 Sketches project in the east gallery of the Mercer County Library Headquarters in Lawrence Township, NJ. The show was up for the entire month of February, 2011, and the opening reception was from 2-4 p.m. on Sunday February 6th, 2011. During the reception, I gave an overview and talk that explained the history and processes of the project.
Date: Thursday, May 20th, 2010
Venue: Rider University Science and Technology Building.
Abstract: This session will introduce attendees to four of the most popular social networks, illustrating how specific features of each can be used to directly support academic goals. Using examples from Rider and other institutions, the audience will see how academics can use LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, and Ning in support of curricular, co-curricular, recruitment, publicity, and community outreach purposes. We will discuss why social networks exist as well as the pitfalls, benefits, and usage best practices. Attendees will have the opportunity to create one or more social network accounts and be given guidance on how to start using them for some specific academic purpose.

Today’s sketch is a sign on a beach reminding beach-goers to respect the sun. I was at the New Jersey Library Association which happened to be at Long Branch, a beautiful Central Jersey beach, and the bright sun was inviting, but even after an hour’s walk on the boardwalk, I got a little color. I also just wanted to quickly thank all of the kind people who came and saw my talks today at NJLA10.
“Sunburn — the skin reddening caused by overexposure to the sun’s harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation — may seem like just a temporary irritation, but sunburns can cause long-lasting damage to the skin. Children are especially at risk: One blistering sunburn in childhood or adolescence more than doubles a person’s chances of developing melanoma later in life.
