Blueberry suggestions for zone 5
I live in upstate NY, just north of Syracuse in zone 5. This year I'd like to grow 3 half-high Blueberry bushes, early, mid, and late season. I did a brief search, and came up with suggestions like Patriot or Duke for early, Bluecrop or Blueray for mid, and Elliot or Aurora for late. These were suggested to someone in zone 5 in IL. How do these sound? Any additional suggestions? Thanks. Ed
I live in zone 7 but it gets down around zero here every winter for several weeks. I have Reka, northcountry, and chippewa that are all doing fine in large pots. I don't even bring them in when winter comes and the soil freezes hard as a rock and they live thorugh it. I think Chippewa gets about 4' and the northcountry is shorter than that so you might consider these two. The reka gets taller. I also have some chandler, duke, and bluecrop but they are new plants to me so I can't comment. Oh, I should mention that I do put about 6 inches of leaves on the soil in the fall to provide some buffer from the cold but again the soil still freezes.
Thanks for the suggestions. This is my first time growing them and I plan on growing mine in pots also, but my winters are much colder. -20F, and sometimes below freezing for weeks at a time. I'm assuming I'll have to bring them in or the soil in the pots will freeze solid for 2 months. I have a $50 credit for Gurney's, and I also have a large garden center nearby that probably has a decent selection. I'll probably visit the garden center this week.
Buy some large pots, at least 15 inch and fill them completely with peat moss and you can't go wrong. Peat has an ideal ph of about 5 that blueberries love. Water the pots really heavy before planting so that the peat all gets wet then keep them most after planting. Here I have to water every day in the summer, we get highs in the 90s for a couple months but I don't know how hot it gets where you are. Put the pots in full sun and they will do great. My plants in pots are starting their third year and doing really well, growing fast and healthy. In the winter you can move the pots into a garage or shed. If that isn't possible, you can put chicken wire around the pots then fill the space with leaves and also put leaves on top of the soil.
I pasted a link to a picture of one of my plants at the link below.
Here is a link that might be useful:
Riverman- is that a "container" sized blueberry? If not, will you have to move it to a larger pot? I'd love to grow some.
Edweather- everyone around Chicago says you have to put them in pots and move them at least to a garage. That may be due to our soil as well (clay). Is yours more acidic? Between that and having to have 2-3 different varieties, I'm not sure I'll take the plunge this year. I was under the impression that you had to have different varieties at the same time b/c of pollination? Or is it just to have constant bluberries?
Today I briefly visited the nursery. The weather was brutal, very windy and cold w/flurries.....yikes! So I didn't spend much time there. But the nursery was awesome. Acres of plants and several different kinds of blueberries. They looked to be 2 year plants. I remember seeing Patriot, Blue ray, Blue Crop, Jersey, and Northland. The prices were about $25. I want to go back when I have more time and really check them out.
Yes, from what I've heard, I need at least 2 different cultivars, which would be about perfect for me to start out with.
Here (in Washington state) we get bales that say "canadian spagmum peat moss" in 20 or 50 pound sizes. The 50 pound size is about 15 dollars or so. I don't remember seeing one that included nitrogen. If you can't find peat, fir bark or pine bark will also work. Try to get the stuff that is fine, not in big chunks. I buy it here at our local nursery by the scoop and they dump it into my truck. Its cheap, like $12 for a huge scoop.

The 2013 Emmy Award nominations were announced this morning in Los Angeles, and though there were fewer collective gasps than last year, there were still a few surprises.
Stacey Wilson, The Hollywood Reporter's senior editor in charge of Emmy coverage, talked with ABCNews.com about a few of this year's snubs and surprises.
See the Full List of 2013 Emmy Nominees
Julianna Margulies
Many were surprised when "The Good Wife" actress's name didn't appear on the list of lead actresses in a drama series. After being nominated three years in a row and winning once, Margulies got bumped for new faces, Kerry Washington and Vera Farmiga.
Connie Britton, who's been nominated twice before for "Friday Night Lights" and "American Horror Story" scored a nom for "Nashville."
"Connie and Kerry are the new broadcast people," Wilson said. "Perhaps it was a craving for new faces. But two network people in that category is pretty cool. Though I feel bad for 'The Good Wife,' which is still very good but got lost in the shuffle."
How Did We Do? Check Out Our Emmy Predictions
Tatiana Maslany
Fans of BBC America's "Orphan Black" were outraged when the show and its star Tatiana Maslany were snubbed by Emmy voters. Maslany, who plays six different characters in the sci-fi drama, recently won a Critics Choice Award.
But Wilson was not surprised that Maslany and the show, which is just entering its second season, got no Emmy love.
"The show hasn't hit fever pitch yet," she said. "Probably a lot of voters didn't get their eyeballs on it. Or they may have thought it a little too gimmicky. These genre shows have never done that well."
The Newsroom
There was no room for Aaron Sorkin's "The Newsroom" on the list of outstanding drama series, though star Jeff Daniels did get a nom for best actor.
"I'm actually not that surprised," Wilson said. "Jeff Daniels for sure, but 'The Newsroom' is still so mixed in terms of reviews. People either love it or hate it."
Another HBO series that didn't make the cut was perennial favorite "Boardwalk Empire," but Wilson thinks the cable network's "Game of Thrones," which did receive a nom, has the best chance of winning.
Zooey Deschanel
Zooey Deschanel is no longer the new girl. After scoring a nom last year for lead actress in a comedy series, the "New Girl" actress was snubbed and her show was shut out.
Instead, Laura Dern grabbed a nomination for her show "Enlightened," even though it's no longer on the air.
Eric Stonestreet
A more glaring snub in the comedy category for Wilson is Eric Stonestreet being left out of the nominees for best supporting actor, while three of his co-stars made the cut.
"He's won twice, but to not even be nominated seems wrong," Wilson said.

This scene by Luke Watkins Hutchinson (Derfel Cadarn) seems like a slice of someone's nightmare. Check out the use of the judge's hairpiece on the face of the ghoul.
Category Archives: Building Techniques
Here be serpents
Since both brickshelf and flickr seem to be down right now, I went outside my comfort zone and had a look at MOCpages. And after discussing the excellent "Guardian of the Emerald" creation by LukeClarenceVan I'm very glad I did. The sea serpent uses a great set of multiple textural techniques, including some nice water effect, and the diorama itself is well set up. Great work all around.
A Renaissance man's workshop
Captainsmog's vignette featuring a character based on Leonardo da Vinci is an example of a creation that shows lots of fine details and techniques that beckons one to explore every corner of the build.
A traveler in a strange land
This purple scene by A Plastic Infinity depicts a traveling alien as he meets another race for the first time. It is full of simple techniques that play off of each other perfectly. I'm really into those aliens. Just four fairly common pieces, yet they look totally new. The landscape is basic terracing, but the color and tiling gives it that alien flair. I think anything more would have distracted the eye from the story that the builder was trying to tell. This is a great example of how a good grasp of fundamental technique works to convey a story or feeling. I love it and I want to see more!
LEGO Macaw takes flight in a burst of iridescent plumage
Sean and Steph Mayo (AKA Siercon and Coral) have gained lots of altitude with their latest creation. The Macaw itself is incredible but the studio setting they have created highlights it very nicely. I also really love the signature in the bottom left corner of the "painting" and you have to admit that the Pick-a-Brick cup full of water is nice touch. My only questions is whether or not the cup is filled with official LEGO water…
Medieval Pop-up Book tells a fiery tale
Gather round, everyone, for I have a story to tell you. Let me share with you this book by 74louloute; it tells the tale of Castle of Luneville in Lorraine, France, and how a fire tried to take the life of an old man.
Be sure to check out this brilliant build in action!
Corinthium is a man-made, self-sustaining planet
Now that we are all on the same page as to what you're seeing, enjoy Tyler's (Legohaulic) latest creation of a planet in the shape of an icosidodecahedron. Building polyhedrons in Lego can be surprisingly simple and sturdy once you have the basic structure figured out. The applications are also numerous, ranging from castle to city to sci-fi.
Real-action Earthbender
This vignette by Dark-Alamez features a must-see video showing a minifig manipulating the snowscape. Watch the first 5 seconds of the video and see if you can figure out how the builder did it. It's a very clever and simple technique.
An Unfortunate Encounter
Here is one of my own creations. I have wanted to illuminate a build entirely from below ever since transparent baseplates became readily available. So now I've finally got around to it. This scene depicts a lone wizard as he deals with the attack from a rather unwise assassin. The entire "landscape" is built on transparent baseplates. The white tree leaves are built onto black tree trucks so that the trucks would be harder to see and the foliage would appear to float above the scene. Lastly the whole scene is built up above the light-source, which has a sheet of transparent blue plastic covering it, for the diffused blue glow. If you want a challenge, give something like this a try. It definitely required a different approach!
Incredible Lego Pokemon Arcanine
I saw this creation by Mike Nieves (retinence) at BrickFair, and was blown away. The first thing that caught my eye was the paw smashing into the base, it really adds motion to the sculpture. Then I realized that the entire Pokemon (tiger?) was balanced on one paw! Incredibly, this creation was overlooked for nomination for Best Bionicle, but celebrity judge Ed Diment made sure this was recognized in the mecha category.

I knew from the start that this was not an equal partnership.
Whatever our reasons for working together, Sylenia was the one who demanded and delivered the most. She was both the brains and the brawn of our collaboration, and definitely the best looking. Sometimes I'd laugh to myself, definitely a case of beauty and the beast. I sometimes wonder what she gets in return, because I can't begin to match her strength, agility or endurance. She claims that I am her eyes and ears, and that is certainly true. Ever since that first trip into the city, where I first saw her claustrophobia of large crowds, she has only ventured into the city at night. Sometimes she will watch out for me from a far during the day, but it's a risk she is reluctant to take.
Day to day, she works on her spacecraft, making repairs or using its sensors to listen in to the private conversations of citizens and commercial enterprises. It's all part of her plan; to find out where the new strains of Dust are coming from, and to uncover the criminal elements that thrive on its distribution. She's explained that the Dust is an alien technology, like an army but on a microscopic scale. She says it can function on its own, but only in a limited fashion. What it really needs is a controlling intelligence, a superior level of life form that can feed it instructions and give it direction.
I figure she's after the drug dealers when she says that, the guys that make the stuff and sell it on the streets. I say that because that's what I after too, to find the punks that are destroying our children, killing our communities, and buying off the politicians. Sylenia shakes her head and tells me it is a struggle that has lasted millennia, and the future of her race may depend on it, but I prefer to keep things simple and direct; we are here to clean this place up, one criminal at a time.
Our preferred form of transport is Sylenia's air car, because the dimensional portal created by her ship takes massive amounts of power and draws unwelcome attention. It means that it is some thirty minutes from setting out from our lair to arriving in the light filled night of the city. As we travel, Sylenia explains that she has found what she thinks is a safe house for a Dust gang, and needs to get samples and intelligence from anybody we find there.
It's a mission we have done before; it usually turns up something new and interesting for Sylenia, and gives me a chance to break some heads while I'm there. I am the front man, because I am human, while Sylenia observes and directs from the roof or a nearby building, only intervening if the odds get stacked against us, and only as a last resort.
Like any safe house, there are plenty of guards around it keeping patrol, which means clearing the way has to quick and deadly. Sylenia decides she will neutralise the guards, leaving me to watch from the shadows while she waits to attack.
In a moment it's all over, with two dead men lying at her feet. It's difficult to see the beautiful woman I share a lonely warehouse with and this ruthless killer as the same person. I just hope that she doesn't decide I'm no longer useful to her.
Her gentle musical voice tells me to approach, but by the time I reach the door, she has already scaled two flights of ladders and is watching from the roof. I can see why guys are tempted to take Firewire or Surge, variants of the Dust that give super human performance.
If I ever wanted to become her physical equal in this little team of ours, something like Dust might be the only way; what an irony that would be.

truly recessed lights
We are about the build a new house with a LOT of recessed lights. We want to use standard cans and put R30-style CFL flood bulbs so that we have an upgrade path to LED by just putting in LED screw-in bulbs someday. But the can the electrician wants to use (Lightolier 5 inch), and all the others I've seen so far, has the screw-in part low-down enough that the face of the bulb is even with the ceiling. We don't like how that looks - it makes glare and calls attention to the fixtures. Our current house has 20-year-old Juno cans where the screw-in part is bolted to the top of the can, which keeps the face of the bulb about 2 inches above the ceiling. That's much better. I'm hoping someone can tell me which brand/model to look for that will achieve this, or something like it. Either 6 or 5 inch cans would be OK. Thanks!
The Cree cr6 would be an excellent candidate. The link below has more info.

Deep-Play on Michigan Radio Stateside with Cynthia Canty

I am a huge fan of Stateside with Cynthia Canty, a radio show on Michigan Radio. So imagine my excitement when I was interviewed by her about my ongoing exhibition (Deep-Play: Creativity in Math & Art through Visual Wordplay) at the MSU Museum. The interview was recorded last week but ran this afternoon – and sadly I missed it (because I am in Las Vegas for the SITE2015 conference). But the interview is now on their website and you can listen to it by clicking the link below (which takes you to the Michigan Radio Page for my interview…

Deep-Play: Creativity in Math & Art through Visual Wordplay
March 1, 2015 § Leave a Comment
I have been creating ambigrams for years now… and I feel extremely lucky that what started as a personal interest and passion has led to some wonderful experiences and learning. These include a series of articles on the mathematics behind these visual designs and now an exhibition at the MSU Museum.
Since December the Creativity-Art-Science Gallery at the MSU Museum has hosted an exhibition of my work – and it has been wonderful. We had an informal gallery-walk a couple of week-ends ago and more than a 100 friends and colleagues showed up at the event. Which was truly gratifying.
I was also given an opportunity to present my work at EduPalooza 2015, a creative arts event at the College of Education a week or so ago. Jon Good recorded my talk and I took a bit of time over the past week to create a video of my comments synched to my slides. You can see this video below. I think it is a good introduction to ambigrams, mathematics and also includes some interesting stories about my experiences with creating and sharing these with the world at large.
Here are some links if you want to learn more about my work in this area. « Read the rest of this entry »
EPET at SITE 2015
February 22, 2015 § 1 Comment
The annual SITE conference is an fixture in my life in the spring semester. This year is no exception. What is interesting is the manner in which the EPET program at MSU has been increasing its presence at the conference. Above is a screen-shot of my calendar of from Tuesday March 3 to Friday March 6, listing ALL the presentations that students, faculty, graduates of MSU are involved in. Below that is a list of all the presentations. Thanks to Spencer Greenhalgh for taking time to create this list. He has also assembled all of these (plus basic info like keynotes, lunches, etc.) into a Google Calendar, which you can add to your own iCal / Google Calendar/ other calendar apps." Which is exactly what I did. Enjoy.
Also, if we missed anybody let us know and I will add to the list right away.

Blast from the past: Theories and memory
February 6, 2015 § Leave a Comment
Ambigram for the word "Theory" by Punya Mishra
My first real research study was one that I conducted back when I was a graduate student under the mentorship of Bill Brewer. It was designed as a classic educational psychology memory study and though I have done little along those lines recently, it is a study that I am quite proud of. For one reason or another I had not posted it on to my website and when I came across it today, while chatting with a doctoral student, I felt it was time to dust it off and offer it to the world, once again. Here is the reference and abstract and a link to the actual article (below the jump).
Sharing one of my newer ambigram designs, for the word "theory", see above, was an added bonus.
Mobile Technology in Teacher Education, Conference Galway 2015

The conference was organized by the School of Education, National University of Ireland, Galway. Kudos to the organizers (main point of contact being Seán Ó Grádaigh) for a great conference. I had a wonderful time, making some new friends and engaging in some great conversations.
Here are some links, recently shared by Seán, for those who want to get a sense of how the conference went.

Rethinking Technology & Creativity in the 21st Century is a series of articles we have been writing for Tech Trends. The latest article in the series has just ben published. This article focuses on Embodied Thinking as a key trans-disciplinary habit of mind often used by creative people across disciplines. Our previous articles have looked at Perceiving, Patterning, and Abstracting. Future pieces will look at Modeling, Play, and Synthesizing. Below is a link to the latest article (you can see all the articles in the series by going here).

Inside-Out: Happy 2015
December 27, 2014 § 1 Comment
Every winter break (for the past six years) our family creates a video to welcome the new year. This is no ordinary video. It requires days of discussion, planning, construction, shooting, and editing.
Our videos never feature us (expect maybe a still-shot of the entire family towards the end) but are usually typographical in nature. There is some kind of visual illusion involved, sometimes a play on words synchronized to music. The videos have become more elaborate over the years and the challenge, of course, is to create something that tops what we had done in the past years. As you can imagine this has become more and more difficult as the years go by. What makes things more complicated is that we have no budget to speak of ($10 is around as much as we have ever spent in any given year). If you want to see all the videos in the series, or find out more about how this year's video was created, scroll down to the end of this post.
Working on these videos has led to is some great family moments, as we argue, discuss, collaborate and create. Below is our latest video, titled Inside-Out: Happy 2015. Raise the volume of your device to max, click to make the video full-screen and hit play! Enjoy.
Inside-Out: Happy 2015
From Shreya, Soham, Smita & Punya
Videos from years past
Here are links to the videos from the previous years (along with some other videos made as a family):
- Point of view: Happy 2014: Anamorphic card for 2014
- Dimensions, Happy 2013: Anamorphic card for 2013
- Did you catch that?: Stop motion card for 2012

- Explore | Create | Share: 3 short videos with typographical twists
- Finding Nemo, the sea-quel: A stop motion sequel to Finding Nemo
- or, view my video channel on Vimeo (including the Hari Puttar Trailer and the Socha Hai music vide0)
The making of Inside-Out:
The idea for the video came from examples such as this one on Youtube – with some creative improvisation by us. Essentially what you have here are not cubes but shells of cubes. The inner shell, the concave end (imagine the inner corner of a room) has the numbers 2, 0, 1 and 4 written on them while the other side, the convex side, has the numbers 2, 0, 1 and 5 written on them. The letters were projected onto the cubes (using a computer and a projector) and written in such a way that they would be readable only when seen from ONE specific viewpoint. These "cubes" were then stuck onto wooden barbecue skewers that were held up by poking them into little boxes of playdoh. All four of these were then placed on a wooden board placed on a standard Lazy Susan (nabbed from the kitchen) which allowed them to be rotated at will. All this was placed in front of our living-room TV (covered with black sheets). After some experimentation with the lighting we had our final setup.
When seen with one eye (or through a camera), even the inside of a cube looks like a cube (due to the lack of depth perception). What this meant is that when you see the "cubes" for the first time you are not actually seeing cubes but rather the concave shell of a cube. Our eyes however, see a cube and when tilted or rotated slightly they appear to move in strange counter-intuitive ways. A full rotation leads you to seeing the convex end (with the numbers 2015). The setup was filmed using a Nikon D7000 camera and edited on iMovie. Music was provided by the amazing collection of free music provided by Kevin McLeod (at Incompetech.com). Below is a photo of the setup

I spent the past seven days in Chile, six days in Santiago and one in Valpariso. It was absolutely wonderful. My trip was sponsored by the Faculty of Education at the Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile (PUC is one of the nation's premier universities), as well as support from the Enlaces project of the Ministry of Education and UNESCO. This trip builds on a memorandum of understanding recently signed between MSU and PUC and focused on the role of ICT in education.
A lot happened during the week – here is my attempt to capture some of the highlights.

Abstracting as a trans-disciplinary habit of mind
October 13, 2014 § Leave a Comment
The next article on our series on Rethinking Technology & Creativity in the 21st Century has just been published. The past few articles have focused specifically on trans-disciplinary thinking i.e. a set of cognitive skills that cut across disciplinary boundaries. Building on Michele & Robert Root-Bernstein's work in this area we list seven trans-disciplinary "tools for thinking" that we argue are key to creativity. These skills encapsulate the ways in which creative people, across disciplines, think. Our previous articles have looked at Perceiving, and Patterning. This one focuses on Abstracting. Future pieces will look at Embodied Thinking, Modeling, Play, and Synthesizing. Below is a link to the latest article (you can see all the articles in the series by going here.

I have been invited to participate in the 2014 Educational Technology Summit: Empowering Educators to Enhance Student Learning in the Digital Era. This conference is being organized by Common Sense Media, Annenberg Retreat at Sunnylands, & the LEAD Commission. I am serving on a panel on preparing new teachers, moderated by Ruth Marcus of the Washington Post. Other members on the panel are Daniel Soodjinda, Ed.D., from the California State University Stanislaus, and Deborah Stipek, dean, Stanford Graduate School of Education. It is going to be a packed and exciting day (see the schedule for yourself and if you are so inclined, you can actually watch the proceedings streamed live).
On this page I just wanted to list some resources that I think will come up during our discussion (that's me being proactive, you see). « Read the rest of this entry »

A decade of running, some thanks
September 22, 2014 § 5 Comments
Ten years ago I participated in my first formal race. It was the 2004 Capital City River Run and back then it was a 10 mile run. Today (September 20, 2014), I ran my 11th race, the 2014 Capital City River Run – now a half marathon.
It has been a decade of running.
In this decade (technically a decade plus 1) I have run 11 races, averaging one per year – 3 ten-mile races and 8 half-marathons. Not bad for a person who does not consider himself a runner. The photo above is all the participation medals I have collected!
Running does not come easy to me and moreover I am not very good at it. And nor do I take it seriously, as evidenced by my idiosyncratic training schedule, where where family, work and travel (and pretty much everything else) take priority over running.
But over the past decade (plus 1) I have done one thing. I have signed up for the Capital City River Run and I participate. The goal have never been to win medals (not that I was ever in contention for any) and oftentimes the goal is not even to get a PR. The goal is to show up at the start, keep running till I finish.
Clearly despite my lack of talent and seriousness I did manage to run these 11 races. It is important for me to acknowledge the fact that this would not have been possible without a few key individuals, and that these people deserve my thanks, and this, 10 years into the process, is as good a time as any to do so.
The blame (& praise) game continues
September 18, 2014 § 1 Comment
I have shared earlier a design for a reflection ambigram for the two words "praise" and "blame" – where one word becomes another when reflected in a mirror. In fact the design has been printed in 3D. As it turns out this was a design that I had made many years ago – and was for the most part, I was satisfied with it. Yes the "s" was a bit iffy – but hey, it worked. Here is the old design:
But in the process of cleaning it up to give to Jon Good to print – I was more and more bothered by it, so I went back to the drawing board and came up with a new design. Overall the solution is the same – or at least shares the same skeletal structure – but the overall result is much better, and far more readable this time around. Enjoy.
This is part of the reason I love creating ambigrams. Letterforms are subtle, nuanced and rich arenas of exploration, and they never cease to surprise me even today, after so many years of playing with them.
Praise-blame ambigram in 3D
September 17, 2014 § Leave a Comment
Jon Good has been playing around with some new 3D printers we just bought and this is what he printed for me – a 3-D version of the "praise-blame" ambigram (click here for the 2-D version). How cool is that!
So what you are seeing in the top half is the printed artifact and below it is its reflection. You can click the button below to animate the image…
Robert Frost writes a paper
September 16, 2014 § Leave a Comment
First it was Lewis Carroll and Jabberwocky and now it is Robert Frost and his poem Stopping by the woods on a snowy evening that receives the EPET treatment. Here is poem #2 in our series of famous poems rewritten from a graduate school perspective.
Thanks to Diana Campbell for following up a brief conversation at a party with a great first draft. Danah Henriksen and I jumped in and put in our two cents as and when not needed. Without further ado, here is: Stopping by the college on a snowy evening « Read the rest of this entry »
Ambigrams animated: 3 new designs
September 15, 2014 § Leave a Comment
I love creating ambigrams, words written in such a manner that they can be read from multiple perspective – rotated, reflected and so on. These designs are much easier to "grasp" when printed on paper since you can actually turn the paper around, hold it against a mirror or hold it against the light while looking at it from the other side. All that is harder to do on a webpage. So I have been thinking of ways of making the entire process a bit more interactive (sort of what John Langdon does so neatly on his site). So after poking around with css and javascript and WordPress I think I finally have a solution. So below are three designs (for the words "internet," "Angel" and the word-pair "Praise-Blame" that you can actually rotate by 180 degrees and and reflect (in two different ways, along the x and y axes) to bring out the symmetry or the surprise inherent in the designs. Here they are below:
Jabberwocky goes to graduate school
September 9, 2014 § Leave a Comment
The 5th floor of Erickson Hall is a fun place to be. Typically a bunch of graduate students hang out there, working on their readings, talking shop and in general having a good time. For some reason, last week, I promised Josh Rosenberg that I would write a poem for them. I don't know why I promised this… I just did. So now that I had said it, it had to be done.
So I wrote a poem building from one my favorite poems of all time, Lewis Carroll's Jabberwocky. It wasn't the greatest thing but hey, whatever. I shared the draft with others and asked for suggestions to help make it better. And all hell broke loose. Suggestions came from left and right, via email and conversations in passing. And at each step the poem became richer, more consistent, better connected to the original…
So here is Blabberjocky, on the fifth… a poem that ended up becoming something greater than the sum of the individual contributions. A special shout out to Danah Henriksen, Spencer Greenhalgh, and Andrea Zellner for their help. Since the first version was prompted by an unsolicited promise made to Josh Rosenberg, it is clear that a large part of the blame for this poem being inflicted in the world lies with him.
Here it is:
International Literacy Day, new ambigram
September 8, 2014 § Leave a Comment
In celebration of International Literacy Day, here is a new ambigram design – it reads, "Literacy" one way and "Reading" the other! Enjoy. See below for an attempt to use CSS to use to make the rotation automatic when you move your cursor over the image. Check it out. I think it is pretty cool.
Happy Teacher's Day (new ambigrams)
September 5, 2014 § Leave a Comment
September 5 is Teacher's Day in India. It is celebrated on the birthdate of Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, Indian philosopher and statesman who was also the first Vice-President and the second President of India. He famously said, "teachers should be the best minds in the country." To celebrate this day, here are three new ambigram designs (see image below). The first, goes around the circle, reading "teacher" one way and "learner" the other way. You can read these words from left to right starting from the top OR the bottom. In the center are two new designs where the word "teacher" and "learner" map onto themselves (when rotated 180 degrees). Enjoy. (Note, you can click on the graphic to view a larger version).
And yes, Happy Teacher's Day to all my educator friends!!! (Move your mouse over the image to rotate it!)

Technology in schools: Detroit Free Press & Edutopia
September 2, 2014 § 1 Comment
For the record, I was quoted in today's Detroit Free Press in an article titled: School districts expanding technology, but training is key to success. In addition, two of my partners in crime (Matt Koehler & Candace Marcotte) were mentioned in an Edutopia article titled: How to Integrate Tech When It Keeps Changing. The idea of TPACK connects both articles, though the Free Press article does not mention the idea directly.

Why math ed sucks (not just in India)
August 22, 2014 § 3 Comments
My friend Hartosh Bal (author of A Certain Ambiguity, a mathematical novel) has a piece in Caravan Magazine titled "Why Fields medalists are unlikely to emerge from the Indian educational system." He mentions the fact that of the three winners of the Field's medal (the highest accolade in mathematics) are Brazilian, Iranian and Canadian respectively. The Canadian, Manjul Bhargava, however is of Indian origin and, it appears that the Indian media have "rushed to claim him as India's own." As the title of his article suggests, Hartosh uses the fact that Bharghava was not educated in India, as a starting point for a broader discussion of how the manner in which mathematics is taught in India. He makes some wonderful points and I would recommend reading his entire piece.
The only quibble I have with his argument is that (as indicated by the title of my post) is that the problems he identifies with mathematics education are not limited to just India. Similar issues (such as an instrumental approach towards learning mathematics, focus on rote memorization of rules etc.) exist right here in the US as well. As Hartosh writes:
We believe students learn only at one pace, and even more damagingly in the case of mathematics, in only one way. Far too many parents in this country have told me about their children being penalised in tests for solving a mathematics problem by a method other than the one taught in the class. It should be quite the contrary, a student who correctly solves a problem by innovatively thinking her way to a solution deserves more marks rather than less.
I love that last sentence.

I am just looking for information about how to read/write (if possible) an individual or a set of NAND eraseblocks on an android device regardless the partition in which eraseblocks are located.
Usually we are using commands like linux "dd" and specifying the partition whose eraseblock we want to read. My question is whether is possible or not to read NAND eraseblocks directly, regardless partitions, as the same way we can read an individual sector on a PC hard disk, simply specifying the offset and read the corresponding eraseblock.
Thanks in advance,
and please, sorry for my english :-/

text: What IG said is very interesting to me. I had a Summar on a Leica 3F and I thought it was akin to a Coke bottle bottom. Just awful. I wonder if that was the problem. The other lenses for that camera were fine including a Wollensak 127mm f 4.5 and an Elmar 90mm f4. I liked the latter lens, small and lightweight and very sharp.

Here are six important tips to help you find the best life coaching association to support your needs as a professional.
Being a new coach out on your own can be lonely, especially if you work from home and do lots of skype or telephone coaching.
However that loneliness can disappear if you join one of the many coaching industry associations.
These associations provide a community for their members as well as, in many cases, independent credentialing of coaches and accreditation of courses.
The benefits of membership do vary a lot so I've listed below six of things you should look for before joining.
Many associations have local or chapters that meet regularly, maybe by conference call, or hold annual conferences. This gives you the opportunity to make contact with other coaches and keep up to date with the latest methods and innovations.
I've also compiled a list of life coaching associations for you to research and compare so you can choose one that really works for you. But first become familiar with the six things you should consider before joining. And if you have something to add or a question, please share in the comments section at the bottom of the page.
Independence is the key! Make sure the organization is truly "independent" and is not not just a front to lead you to a specific coaching school. Just because it has the authoritative sounding "institute" "federation" or "association", in the name, there is no guarantee it is actually an independent association for accrediting courses and credentialing coaches.
I have come across schools where the aim seems to deliberately mislead in this regard.
For instance some associations, including many branches of the International Coaching Federation (ICF), do not give their members the opportunity to have their profile listed in the coach referral section of their web site unless you are credentialed as a coach through them.
Other associations may allow you a profile as a coach without their credentialing so you do at least get a chance to be seen and contacted by prospective clients as soon as you join.
Leading associations such as the International Coach Federation often have a system for prospective clients to be given as leads to member coaches.
The prospect types in their coaching requirements (personal, business, corporate, health, etc.) and maybe the fee they are prepared to pay, and the system automatically sends their information to several coaches who match those requirements.
It is then up to the coach to contact the prospect to see if they are indeed a good coaching match.
Several prospective clients came to me through the ICF referral system so belonging to an association that has this benefit can be an effortless marketing tool.
Of course you can't rely just on a life coach association referral system so it's worth taking a look at the book Unstoppable Referrals by Steve Gordon which has some really encouraging reviews.
If the association you are considering joining says it has such a system, check whether the benefit is for all members or just for the coaches the association itelf has credentialed.
A great benefit of an association is to have a list of qualified mentors or supervisors. These are experienced coaches who coach candidates to achieve their credentialing aspirations.
Many coaches specialize in running affordable groups to prepare coaches for credentialing by their organization. You can read more about Coach Mentoring and Supervision.
Is the membership you are considering open to associated disciplines such as training or counseling at any level, or even to people or organizations who have an interest in coaching?
This can be a real advantage in broadening your contact base, maybe for networking, alliances and cross referrals. And on that subject have a look my networking tips for coaches.
What sort of community benefits does the life coaching association offer that are important to you?
Are you interested in taking part in chapter meetings with speakers, chat rooms, blogs, conferences, ongoing skills training or free or discounted indemnity insurance.
This is especially important if you are in a country that is new to coaching or has it's base in a country other than where you live.
Find out if the association caters for an international community with webinars and online communications.
Also check if the member benefits offered apply to the country you live in?
For instance, I've come across a very attractive discounted indemnity insurance as part of the membership package that did not apply unless you were a resident of the association's country of origin.
I hope these seven tips will help you make a good decision about which life coaching association you should join. And for more information on what you need to know and do to become a life coach....

The lawmaker behind a bill to legalize medical marijuana for seizure patients said Wednesday the state should go one step further.

Medical Marijuana Bill Needs Revisions, Sponsor Says
The sponsor of a medical marijuana bill said Monday after a three-hour legislative hearing that the proposal must get significant revisions before it can move forward in the Georgia General Assembly. But state Rep. Allen Peake's efforts drew support from the vast majority of people who packed the hearing room.
