Right now Im working from home next to a sleeping baby. At work and at home. ; ) Nice to see your photos. And a completely mellow baby, who appears to be a good sleeper. The way it should be! Thanks for the re-entry welcome! Thats the way to do it. As to wisdom.hmm? Not sure how much I can deliver on that front, Christine.

Im not just thinking about the gadgets and the gizmos that you use or the instructional design "method" behind the process (e.g., Im excellent at creating ridiculous rhymes and ditties for my kids; I think I could come up with something interesting for a course.

So I created a new banner in Photoshop -- took another apple photo and added some text. Cammy--thanks for the compliment. :-) Im digging the new look and what you did with the banner. Although I was involved in the apple photo shoot as a prop dresser. My Photoshop skills are minimal, but this task I could handle. Great Job!!!

As Im ramping up in my new job, Im talking with my new Kineo colleagues about everything under the sun. Is there some historical background here that Im missing, like computers in the UK didnt have speakers until 2002 so they never bothered? We know to avoid narrating text word for word, for instance. You do know that, right?)
