47 of 365 is technology haiku #GIMP #fail

Lame duck ninja haiku
Lame duck ninja haiku

I used GIMP to make an idea I had earlier today as I was slashing through piles of email that have less and less relevance to me . It fit nicely into the 7-5-7 form which I forgot is not the haiku form, which is 5-7-5. DUH! In case you’ve not heard, I recently resigned from my long-term position at Rider to take a similar position at Princeton University. And so, all those emails that might have had me jumping a month ago are a lot easier to pass on, respond quickly to, or simply (ninja vanishing sounds).

I am now co-teaching a graduate level course in the Communication track of the MA in Organizational Leadership program at Rider University. The course, COMM 563, is Digital Media Communication. In the class we focus on the issues, concepts, and problems of organizational communication using digital media. The course uses WordPress as a learning and posting platform, and participants learn how to develop effective publishing skills, integrating various digital media, and developing an audience for their brand.
