Some Girls Prefer Carnations: Sprung from my tower
http://carnations.blogspot.com/2014/05/sprung-from-my-tower.html
Some Girls Prefer Carnations. Saturday, May 24, 2014. Sprung from my tower. This morning my neutrophils were 2280, which is over twice as high as they needed to be! That must be some kind of powerful bone marrow meditation I invented. I must admit, I feel a bit like a rockstar, which is funny considering I didn't actually do anything. Thank you, everyone, for the well-wishes that helped me achieve this goal! I feel like Rapunzel when she escaped from her tower, singing:. Just smell the grass! Thank you f...

All Caddywumpus: January 2011
http://allcaddywumpus.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Definition: Ridiculously crooked; out of whack and stupid looking. Basically? Sunday, January 30, 2011. I realized some time ago that since getting my laptop, I don't really post photos on my blog anymore. BORING. I'll work on that, eh? Links to this post. Saturday, January 29, 2011. The week that was. It's been a big week, but mostly for everyone else. Ms Smithers became a Mama to baby Z. Our neighbours announced they're moving.on Monday (they decided Wednesday). Sure, why not. Links to this post. That ...

Junct Blog: The End
http://dmaccadjuncts.blogspot.com/2011/12/end.html
For Collaboration, Sharing, and Community. Monday, December 12, 2011. I'm wrapping things up here at Junct Blog, and hopefully passing the torch on to some other West Campus adjuncts or otherwise interested parties. I'm moving on to the Ankeny campus in January where I'll be a full-time instructor, mainly teaching literature, but hopefully still thinking about issues pertaining to technology. In the future, I'd like to develop a course about technology and literature, for example. View my complete profile.

Some Girls Prefer Carnations: Am I? Can I?
http://carnations.blogspot.com/2015/04/am-i-can-i.html
Some Girls Prefer Carnations. Friday, April 17, 2015. I found myself at the Oncology clinic every day this week for iron infusions. This is because my hemoglobin and iron were dreadfully low at my chemo appointment on Monday. Dr. Oncologist said that I'd lost two units of blood since she'd last seen me! To sit with her so that I could go get my treatments. The coordination kinda stressed me out. Reason 2: The waiting room. Oh, the oncology waiting room. I have blogged about the waiting room befor...This ...

Junct Blog: Ditch the GPS; Get Lost Instead
http://dmaccadjuncts.blogspot.com/2011/12/ditch-gps-get-lost-instead.html
For Collaboration, Sharing, and Community. Monday, December 5, 2011. Ditch the GPS; Get Lost Instead. We are entering an era of chaos. The traditional approaches to education are being challenged by rapid changes in technology and economic pressures. And if the old model falls, we're simply not ready to replace it. We don't have any good ideas. Or.we have a lot of good ideas but no big picture. In his opening post. For Week 13 of #change11 MOOC, Clark Quinn addresses this problem:. Chances are, if the dr...

Junct Blog: What Page One Tells us About Education #change11
http://dmaccadjuncts.blogspot.com/2011/11/what-page-one-tells-us-about-education.html
For Collaboration, Sharing, and Community. Wednesday, November 23, 2011. What Page One Tells us About Education #change11. The documentary about the writing and editorial staff of the New York Times, is streaming on Netflix, and I recommend watching it if you want a glimpse into the future (or present) of education. However, as the highly watchable David Carr keeps reminding us in Page One. This is, I think, a perfect analogy for the world of education. Just because you can make a cheaper model and c...

Junct Blog: Children Raised by Wolves are the Only True Self-Taught Learners #change11
http://dmaccadjuncts.blogspot.com/2011/12/children-raised-by-wolves-are-only-true.html
For Collaboration, Sharing, and Community. Friday, December 2, 2011. Children Raised by Wolves are the Only True Self-Taught Learners #change11. Daniel Gilbert says that all psychologists are required, at some point in their careers, to write a sentence that begins with "The human being is the only animal that." According to Gilbert, the answer is "imagines the future." My personal choice would be "wears socks with sandals," but I haven't done the field research to back that up. No, sorry, old joke.

Some Girls Prefer Carnations: February 2015
http://carnations.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Some Girls Prefer Carnations. Monday, February 9, 2015. Are nasty, so it's better to suffer a bit of heart damage than to risk the potential consequences of ceasing the treatment. That led me to a question about prognosis. A few people at work have asked me about it, and I haven't known what to tell them. My prognosis is technically "poor" because the best evidence suggests that I had (have? It was another great trip with a whole pile of good news. I hope I can stay on this trajectory for a long while.
