This is why I vote!

I know that neither party really cares about the people. I know that the political process is severely, and maybe permanently broken. I know that in many political races candidates are running totally unopposed, so who I “vote” for is totally irrelevant. I don’t believe that my vote will make one bit of difference.

Despite all of those things, I vote because many of my brothers and sisters fought, bled and died so that I can voice my complaints. I vote because they couldn’t. I vote to honor their sacrifice and hope for the future.

CUNY SPS – Communication and Media degree

Earlier this week we recorded a marketing video for the Communication and Media program at the CUNY School of Professional Studies (SPS). The purpose of the video was to give potential students an overview of the program and the admission requirements. The information in the video is very similar to the material that we present to attendees to our monthly open house sessions. I was excited to record this video because not everyone can make it to the in-person informational sessions that we hold during the semester.

For those of you that are unaware, the Communication and Media program at the SPS is a four year online degree program that offers an interdisciplinary focus on issues related to the convergence between new and traditional media. The goal of the program is to prepare Continue reading “CUNY SPS – Communication and Media degree”

Not so Easy Rider – MSF Training Class

MSF

It seems that even over the July 4th holiday I still can’t get away from CUNY. Well, I have to place a caveat on that statement because I wasn’t really doing anything CUNY related. In truth, I spent most of the weekend at Lehman College taking a basic rider class sponsored by the Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF).

Everyone close to me knows that I have been thinking about buying a motorcycle for a few years. I had a bike briefly during my freshman year at Colorado College and loved it. I rode it for a few months until common sense, and fear of pissing off my basketball coach, got the better of me. I stopped riding Continue reading “Not so Easy Rider – MSF Training Class”

Frost Valley 2014

The summers that I spent at Kutsher’s Sports Academy were some of my fondest memories growing up. I wanted my children to have the the same positive experience that I had, so my wife and I arranged for the kids to attend Frost Valley again. Since my wife is one of the camp nurses I feel comfortable that they are all safe and sound. She is able to quietly check on them and make sure they are fine and happy. I dropped them off on Sunday for two weeks of fun while I start working on some projects I have put off for far too long. But the house is now entirely Continue reading “Frost Valley 2014”

Tech Training – Summer 2014

noblebooks

The summer is the time when I brush up on old skills or take the plunge and develop new ones. The plan for this summer was to initially focus all of my time on Objective C and iOS app development. That was until Apple announced that they were migrating to a new programing language called Swift. Since the info on Swift is still in the preliminary stages I will now either brush up on my mobile responsive design and JavaScript animation or try and tackle Ruby on Rails. I am leaning towards the responsive design and JavaScript because it would better prepare me to finally get started with PhoneGap and cross-platform application development.
