No longer paying attention to #cccc updates but in a groove. Here's the cover of the 10th ann. Cs the Day booklet. Someone before me did layout - I just added some Photoslop filters. The inside, however, required some InDesign TLC. In any case, that year was COVID cancelled... #cstheday #sparklepony

Waiting for news about the status of #cccc and going through old files...workshop planning, Cs the Day, presentation slides...Here's one of my fave posters made for the Council for Play & Game Studies SIG annual meeting. 2018 was a rough year for CCCC, NCTE, and ATTW. #ncte #4cs

Working out rusty knees on the Ahnapee/Ice Age Trail. Amped for the '24. #rw24 #doorcounty #iat #railstotrails #wisconsin #trek #sturgeonbay

Last spin of the first session of the Spring Clean Spin. Sun's dipping and all that's left is the kitchen floor. Sending the day out is the classic debut of De La Soul - part of the high school sdtk. #delasoul #springcleanspin #springcleaning #midlifecrisis

Fridge kicking my ass but am wiping down all the bottles bartender-style. Next up, the album that (for me) officially kick off 2026's music season: The Claypool Lennon Delirium's latest, a gorgeous cover with comic insert (needed to explain story) #springcleanspin #claypoollennondelierium #ato

Starting to get distracted...tired...something a bit more upbeat before continuing with the fridge...Props to Chris Robinson for pissing off the MAGA audience. Now playing Black Crowes latest, A Pound of Feathers. #blackcrowes #springcleanspin #springcleaning stereogum.com/2500993/blac...

Another chill album - one that suggests a possible midlife crisis - to wrap up the kitchen: Yo La Tengo's I can Hear the Heart Beating As One. Every listen, new. #springcleanspin #yolayengo #springcleaning #endofsemester

Kitchen is about halfway done. Next up, Alabaster DePlume's Dear Children of our Children, I Knew/Cremisan. Such a chill, swanky album...time to clean the fridge... #springcleanspin #springclean #alabasterdeplume #internationalanthem

Next up...cleaning the furniture and GBV's latest, Crawlspace of the Pantheon. #springcleaning #gbv #guidedbyvoices #springcleanspin

Inaugural Spring Cleaning Spin! First up...oven scrubbing to KGLW drummer Cavs' solo, Sojourn #springcleaning #spin #vinyl #kglw #cavs

Finishing up "Digital Platforms" class where we discuss privacy, data integrity, and intellectual property. And then this happens... #platformization #dataintegrity #lms #canvas

It's May which means we're due for for some summer albums. Quite a few on the way but kicking things off with a concept album by the Claypool Lennon Delirium is unexpected. Still digesting but already a tad obsessed #musicsky youtu.be/ezggqg2_3TY?...

Fun working in a right to work state #jayrothman #uw

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

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
