I’m taking part in the graduation ceremony at Rider University today to publicly celebrate my successful acquisition (with honors) of the Master of Arts in Organizational Leadership with a concentration in Communication that I acquired in December of 2009, and I thought it would be fun to explain how that began. In 2007 I had a short conversation with one Kathleen Pierce, a very good friend and a major influence, who suggested that I should pursue my MA at Rider. I said that I wasn’t sure what it would do for me, and that I wasn’t necessarily interested in any of the graduate programs I knew about at Rider. She asked me if I knew about the brand new MA in Organizational Leadership with concentrations in communication and technology, and I said that I didn’t. She handed me a brochure and went on to convince me that it was a very good fit for me, and would benefit me greatly in the long run. I want to take this opportunity to say thank you to Kathleen for giving me a gentle but firm nudge. It was just the thing I wanted, and I just didn’t know. I’ve learned so much, and my life and thinking has been thoroughly altered. I’d also like to thank Liza Watson, the chair of the MAOL program, who has become a good friend, and who inspired my love for research. I’d like to congratulate all of my successful cohorts, like Ayo, Watts, Jillian, Michele, Laurie, and the rest. Best to you in your endeavors! Finally, I’d like to thank my wife Dawn and my family for allowing all the late nights of writing, studying, and reading, as well as their encouragement.

Ya heard? Bullhorn by lemasney

Bullhorn, heard? – lemasney.com

I’m really upset by the recent proposed budget cuts in New  Jersey that will reduce or remove internet access, databases, programming, and many more useful services from New Jersey Libraries. I’m upset that the new Administration finds certain things far more important than these services which have helped me to raise my children, become part of a community, and support my recent MA in Organizational Leadership. I’m upset that many of my friends in LibLand will lose their jobs, go without professional development, and have to divide already thin resources. With this development, I have revolution and revolt on the mind, and in our country, we have the right to speak out on that which we disagree with. My symbol for this is a bullhorn, a tool for rallying cries, to gather and direct people towards change, and to broadcast ideas and reminders about why we should be outraged.

In Inkscape, I built the bullhorn mostly via the Bezier tool. I added flames with the Bezier tool. I added a handle with the Bezier tool. I created the central horn with the Bezier tool. I created the trigger with the pencil tool. The piece of text is from the Showtime series The Wire, in which one of the main characters says “Heard?” in such a way as for it to be almost a half syllable, and it means essentially “Do you understand and comply; if not, we are going to have trouble.” Anyway, a fun sketch about a very serious topic for me. If you love your library, tell someone — shout it out.

39 of 365 is a tree of knowledge showing its roots #inkscape

In honor of my official transcript showing that I graduated from Rider University in December of 2009 with a Master of Arts degree in Organizational Leadership, I wanted to make a tree, a common symbol of knowledge and education. It also is one of the key elements of Rider’s brand. I used the pencil tool mostly, set to 50% smoothing, and shape: Triangle in to create the roots and trunk. I then used the ellipse tool in order to create many overlapping green circles, and path: unioned them for the foliage. To amplify the beauty of the branches, I set the foliage transparency down a bit. I made a background plane with a gradient with about 5 stops to create a natural, but muted, background.
