Looking around for some vintage pinup clothing I started to pull together some ideas for the upcoming holidays and then created this Wish List. I hope you enjoy turning the pages and exploring some fashionable ideas as much as I did creating this magazine.
Meg Robbins and I are presenting an hour-long, hands-on workshop at MassCUE 2011, Wednesday, October 26. entitled: Motivating students to become self-directed learners. If you want to learn more about understanding “how-to” motivate your students in their journey to becoming self-directed learners, this is for you.
Come join us at the 2011 Technology Conference in the Gillette Stadium, Foxborough, Massachusetts. This year’s theme: Today’s Global Learners = Tomorrow’s Global Leaders = TGL2: What Next?
While Spring cleaning is usually left to the earlier months of the year, I decided to take on a clean-up project of my own and re-design my own website. I wanted something more dynamite and decided upon the WordPress theme; Canvas. Hers’ what my website looked like before.
MWDesign Website- Before
I built the website in a “test site” and when I was happy with it, I moved it all over to my live site. I am liking the sliding images; representing samples of work I have done, along with the open, clean feel of the new site and the new “light bulb” logo design.
The footers hold video samples and within the site I designed widgets to hold samples of other work I have done.
MWDesign Website- After
Inside, I have loads of samples showing my instructional design work. Have a peek around.

Jobs is perhaps the greatest user of technology to every live. He was able to think first and foremost as someone who lives with technology rather than produces it.
About a year ago, maybe longer, I was hunting for a unique wedding gift for some designer friends and happened upon Shapeways: a 3-D printing service. I played around with their online design tools, however opted for a beautiful glass pitcher. David Minich was shopping for eyewear and used Shapeways to create his own business: Make Eyewear. David creates infinitely customizable eyewear. The beauty of rapid prototyping is that you can design just about whatever you want, then print it on demand. What could you make with this type of technology?
Even with all the technology I handle on a daily basis….I still really enjoy working with paper. Nikki Salk and Amy Flurry have created a dramatic exploration at the intersection of paper craft and high fashion.
