DOPEfm Transformers Themed Hip-Hop

Seriously, the podcast provider we have been using for years will be shutting down operations at the end of this month. I interviewed Ghettosocks earlier this year and he provided the drop you…

File Folder Seating Plans
I just came across a novel way to make seating plans. It’s so simple and will save you a lot of time. I can’t believe I didn’t know of this method earlier. I can’t tell you how many times I have had to write a seating plan over the years. I like to rearrange the…

Komoka Side Trail
Komoka Provincial Park is one my favourite places to go for a run. It is located just minutes from London, Ontario. I profiled it before but I discovered a brand new section of the trail last week, and it is even more beautiful. That’s why it’s time for another Visual Running Tour. I’ve only ever…

Avril Lavigne – The Black Star Tour (Live)
Avril Lavigne played the John Labatt Centre on October 22, 2011. It really was an amazing concert. I wanted to be able to relive that show over and over again so I put together this mix CD. I was able to find all of the songs she performed at the JLC that night. Here is…

Classroom Jack-O-Lanterns
Here’s one of the pumpkins we carved for my class. One of my students drew the silhouetted cat using a black permanent marker. I was really surprised to find out that we didn’t need a sharp knife to carve our pumpkins. We used a common butter knife and it worked perfectly, even for such a…

A Photographic Tour of Pinafore Park
Pinafore Park is one of the jewels of St. Thomas, Ontario. It is also the focus of today’s Visual Running Tour. I didn’t know where this trail would lead, how long it was, or how great a run it would be. But sometimes it’s just fun to take off and run into the unknown. The trail…

Tackling NaNoWriMo – Am I Crazy?
I must be crazy. I’m thinking of participating in National Novel Writing Month this year. The goal is simple – write a 50,000 word novel in the month of November. It sounds simple, but that’s 1,700 words a day for each day of the month. I’m pretty busy with my teaching career, family commitments, and…
