The same Deloitte that the University of Wisconsin paid over $3 million to produce a report claiming that any degree outside of an MBA is worthless? The same Deloitte that just had to pay back the Aussies because their "report" was AI slop? #jfc #highered

Second episode Tackle Teaching is up. Pre-recorded faculty panel discussion on student engagement. #uwgb #highered #sotl #SoundCloud on.soundcloud.com/3A9AoBd5oBE5...

First crack at collage. Fun and a bit more forgiving when overworked. #collage #artsky #amateur

In our inaugural episode of Tackling Teaching, Pam and I explore the evolving role of learning outcomes in the university classroom. Check it out! Feedback welcome! #uwgb #HigherEducation #FacultyDevelopment #Pedagogy #LearningOutcomes #InstructionalDesign #AcademicExcellence #MasteryLearning

It has been too long since I visited an old friend. #iceagetrail #doorcountywi #sturgeonbay

Playing hypeman for UWGB's games-related programming and curricula, promoting the Global Game Jam! #mdev #uwgb #ggj

It's not scary that my school's social media links still includes Google+. What's scary is that Google+ shuttered six years ago. #google #google+ #legacysocialmedia

Returned to Langlade County and the newly minted Antigo Heights segment of the Ice Age Trail. Taking pics for an upcoming article. Here's the dispersed campsite we cleared. #iceagetrail #Wisconsin #hiking

Orem, Utah sounds like a dangerous place. Better call in the National Guard.

Will be interesting to see the effects on incoming students this year.

One of a handful of decent pics taken at the Door County Fair. #doorcounty #dcwi #wisconsin #countyfair #nikon #photosky

Stoked that our OER has been accepted into the Open Ed Network collection. After test driving in our first-yeat biz writing course - and substantial 😏 copyediting by Kephren Pritchett - it's ready to share! #fyc Thank to @openednetwork.bsky.social for including us! open.umn.edu/opentextbook...

Art along the Beerline Trail, a rail-to-trail project that's been nearly 20 years in the making. Each year, more murals, sculptures, and structures appear - each celebrating the community and the modes of transportation that have informed the path. #rw24 #riverwest #milwaukee #biking #railtotrail

Nessun Dorma may not be a secret gem any longer but the menu still brings the heat. Mixed olives, bruschetta, and artichoke dip. Sarah reminded me that this place was where we went when we left the boys home alone for the first time. #milwaukee #mke #riverwest #rw24

It's been too long since we've taken a day to enjoy Sturgeon Bay. After weeding the community garden plot, ran the Ice Age Trail. Afternoon cherry picking (first time) was a blast; heading back with the Nikon soon. Capped with a couple hours at the beach. #dcwi #doorcounty #wisconsin #iceagetrail

Heartbreaking to come back from a peaceful protest to find that Minnesota lawmakers were victims of rightwing violence. #nokings #defenddemocracy

Following a Gays Against Groomers antagonist at the #nokings rally in #doorcounty. Guy came at me on cam (he didn't like my "Protect Trans Kids" shirt) and didn't want to continue the conversation. #protecttranskids

Watching the @inaturalist.bsky.social user group (which connects over digital networks) grouse (on a social media platform) over the idea that big tech will corrupt their platform. There's a lot to critique about GAI and LLM devs being fascist bedfellows but ML can complement human crowd sourcing

Trailbuilding in Langlade County with the Ice Age Trail Alliance. Learned a great deal about the process, was introduced to some tools and terms, as well as some good people. #iceagetrail #trailbuilding #wisconsin #wisconsinstateparks #widnr #nps

There's a healthcare crisis in Wisconsin with nurses on the front lines. Give Meriter nurses the support, staffing, and safety they need and deserve. Nurses plan 5-day strike at Meriter hospital in Madison as contract talks stall wisconsinexaminer.com/2025/05/20/n...

Grades are in, getting an early start to the weekend camping in Potawatomi. Rained all night but no mud this morning. Covered some wood before the rain started, foresight rewarded with morning fire. #widnr #dcwi #doorcounty #wisconsin

Was beginning to worry I'd miss the trilliums but Potawatomi always provides. #widnr #wistateparks #dcwi #doorcounty #wisconsin #trailrunning

All quiet on the Ice Age Trail but the lone motorboat is a harbinger of tourists to come #iat #widnr #dcwi

Half-awake take: the co-opting of creativity has been a neoliberal project since WW2; ChatGPT et al. is the latest stage in the attempt to quantify and standardize creative powers but - again - misses the essence: imagination, curiosity, critique, and play. #ai #gai #highered #playmore #creativity

Potawatomi State Park observation tower looks finished but probably gated for final checks and the end of icy weather. Thanks @govevers.wisconsin.gov ! #doorcounty #wistateparks #friendsofpotawatomistatepark #dcwi

HEY JEEZUS - GET ON UP OUTTA THAT CAVE - YOU GOT WORK TO DO! #happyeaster #everydayblasphemy #easter

Chairs and tabletop were in good shape but chrome needed CLR dousing and aluminum foil scrubbing. First time restoring chrome went okay. Will return to cover the rust scarring another day. #furniturerestoration #retro #diner #table #chromerestoration.

Colleagues and I are developing an end-of-semester multimedia happening that explores creative practice in the age of GAI and embodiment as a loose theme. For my part, I'm exploring the decay of psychological faculties as experienced by an artificial neural network. blog.uwgb.edu/vitruvianmac...

Not sure where I'm going with this. Not a critique nor comparison - just following a thoughtline: #musicsky #ladygaga #madonna #gracejones When Madonna released Ray of Light in 1998, she was about 40 years old - about the same age as Lady Gaga is today. music.youtube.com/watch?v=LXuS...

Birdsong from deep within the woods, waters of Sturgeon Bay on the limestone shore..glad to be on the trails without having to worry about ice. #trailrunning #iceagetrail #widmv #wisconsin #potawatomistatepark #pixel7pro #doorcounty #dcwi

Still recovering from a day at the polls because: 1. Door County understands how important voting is 🇺🇸, and 2. The volunteer sitting with me was as chatty as I am Hats off to chief inspectors of our districts who carried out a flawless process for 16 hours. This is what democracy looks like!
