I went on my honeymoon earlier this month. We spent 10 days in the Netherlands – starting and ending in Amsterdam with a 5 day bicycle tour through Haarlem to the North Sea to Leiden, Bodegraven, and Utrecht. It was a good group for our Beercycling time and we had a lot of fun. Even…

Sometimes the data collection is more fun than creepy…
I know that data is being collected about me and my actions online ALL. THE. TIME. But, sometimes that data collection can be entertaining rather than creepy. I guess if you know it is happening, that makes the difference. The annual Spotify “Your Top Songs” playlist is one example of that fun>creepy times.
Escape Rooms: On Both Sides
I recently posted on Facebook something like this: “Audrey: 4 Escape Rooms: 0” Yes, I suppose it was bragging. But, I have done four different escape rooms (Escape Game Nashville, Which Way Out Knoxville, Escape Game Knoxville, and The Chamber in Columbus, OH) and I have been in a group that has escaped successfully all…
Better than your average bear
When this Pew Research and Smithsonian quiz passed by my Twitter feed, I had to jump over and give it a shot. After all, with an undergrad degree in chemistry education and a masters in Science Ed, I had better know a good amount of basic science and technology. Fortunately, I was able to pass…
Office Bombardment
Yes, I have been slack. [Insert typical excuses here – busy at work, nothing to say, off on other projects, so on and so on] Yesterday, I heard a piece on All Things Considered, the evening news show on National Public Radio here in the USofA that just captured my imagination. It was about a…
A different blog for a week
I am fortunate to be asked to travel with the college choir where I work over spring break and blog/photograph/video their trip. If you want to follow along on our adventures next week in Germany, check us out here: http://blogs.pstcc.edu/variations2012.
Nerdy Chicks Rule
Some of my best summers were spent at Lutheridge, a summer camp outside of Asheville, North Carolina. I went there as a camper and then worked several summers while in college and when I was teaching high school. It was a great, creative and energetic time in my life. One of my friends from that…
Things to watch in 2012
Since I found this last year, I was curious to see what the latest presentation from JWT would bring. From a T-F perspective, these entries caught my eye: BYOD – Bring Your Own Device. I actually have been using this phrase for a while now at my work because we have been experimenting with checking…
CheerLights
I totally love this idea. Connecting people via social networking AND spreading lovely holiday lights all over the place in sync. Fantastic. Visit CheerLights for the details. And, if you don’t have a strand of the CheerLights (like me), then get the Android App! (I will soon) Maybe I need to learn how to build…
And, boom
Since one of the many nicknames for my dog is Boom-Boom because of how hard she wags her tail against furniture and other objects, I thought this video montage of Steve Jobs was appropriate.
