Getting caught up in a busy time

Hey! Long time no post! How’s it going, dear reader? Busy? Well, join the club. This blogging thing is quite interesting. It can be challenging at times to put something up here. I have a lot of ideas, but life keeps getting in the way. So, instead of waiting around till I have time and energy for big or long entries, I’m going to try to write smaller posts with more frequency. Here goes…

First of all, thanks for the feedback on my previous post (Vi!). The message was, “too much information.” Yes, I agree. Sorry about that. If I have new features to announce, I’ll endeavor from now on to mention them one at a time and keep the focus on the family life.

Like I said, life is busy now. We just had our school festival at work (on a Saturday, no less), and then the next morning I had to help judge a big local speech contest. It went fine, but I haven’t had a day off in a week and a half! Fortunately tomorrow (Thursday, November 1st) I don’t have to go in. I’m planning on spending the entire day studying and preparing for my JALT Conference presentations. I’m doing some very interesting reading these days, mostly about the nature of the Internet and the development of learning theory in this digital age. Quite fascinating stuff! I will need to start pulling together a narrative of what I want to say soon, and then begin putting together some slides. My aim is to create a video podcast and post it up somewhere. This process will help me get my act together. I’ll let you know when it’s ready.

Luke and Max have been struggling with colds recently, but they are okay today. Shinobu has been studying very hard for yet another test, this one to get this special work-related licence (I’m not really sure what it’s all about!!). She did very well, and afterwards she was so happy. She went on this big shopping binge and had a great time buying clothes for her little dolls! Me? I used the money I got from my judging gig and got myself a very very very cool and slight portable digital voice recorder!! It’s the Zoom H2, and I’m really going to enjoy using this puppy. I’ll now be able to do some good audio podcasts- sounds from our lives, sound-seeing tours, interviews, etc. Can’t wait!

So, that’s about it for now. I won’t have much (if any) time for posting new video podcasts, but I will try to put up some past projects.

Take care, everyone!

Sox win!!! Woooo hooooo!
