Finals ended today, and so other than a few calls and emails it’s been dead quiet. So much so, that I can hear things that I otherwise don’t notice - the sound of the heating system, the soft buzz from the fluorescent light balast over head and everynow and then the sound of the front door opening and closing on the far side of the office. It’s nice having things quiet, but I have to admit I’m not used to it, so it has sort of caught me off guard.

First thoughts on the new year:

• Do less scanning (blogs) and more actual reading and reflecting
• Spend time test developing portable streaming audio and flash content for cell phones
• Teach
• Set aside time to develop more on demand training content so I don’t have to explain the same process’ over and over to different instructors (Not a complaint - just feels silly to explain a set of simple procedures by phone or email when a “how to” would provide the same)
• Start using Go To Meeting as a way for instructors and designers to share /demonstrate different technologies useful to online learning.
• Continue running
• Be amazed at how life will change when our son is born
• log off of services that I no longer use, and only sign up for services that I know I will use
• and all things that just happen that make life interesting
