So, Janie Hermann and another couple of friends have birthdays today. I just wanted to make a special commemoration to her and the rest. I’m happy to have you around!

Laura Hyatt, who is basically synonymous in my mind with sustainable practice at Rider University, recently approached me about a cool project. She is looking to emulate successful classroom sustainability efforts in other universities, and asked me if I could help with certification branding. I looked at some of her examples, and made these. By demonstrating that in your classroom you do things like use refillable reusable beverage containers, turn off lights, do little or no printing, provide materials electronically, practice sustainability with texts and assignments, and use the outdoors and locality in your curriculum, you gain points on a standard scale. The more points you get, the higher the certification you can meet. I’m hoping to have my Digital Media Communication class be the first Emerald certified class at Rider University. Thanks for the project, Laura!

I recently decided to jump-start submissions for requests on 365 by asking for random captions and titles for pieces. This isn’t my idea. The best example of this I can think of is explodingdog who has done this for about 10 years. If you’ve never seen his quirky, sometimes jolting illustrations for caption submissions, please google him. This sketch is in response to Kelly Lake’s poetic, very interesting submission “I swallowed my life, and it has consumed me.” Thanks Kelly! You’re the best, and I haven’t told you in a while.

This is a lilting, ending refrain from one of my favorite songs. Karma Police, from Radiohead’s revolutionary album, OK Computer. The lyric lays over an original shot of Seattle, which is an amazing and beautiful city in the shadow of a mountain.

I have a friend who has started saying this to me after every other sentence just because it makes me laugh to hear it. I thought it might be nice for my friend to see how I visualize it when they say it.

It’s so nice to get a proper goodnight from the one that you love.
