I wrote a post last month about leaving room when planning for posts on social media, and I found this (below) quite amusing: This is I envisioned September before it started vs. how September actually unfolded. Random posting is definitely not the name of the game.

I'm not sure Joe (Trinity's new Head of School) knew this came with the job. Poor Stephen was put in all sorts of positions for the annual picnic invitation. Now it's Joe's turn. I just sent out invitations this morning, with Joe's head on someone else's body. Sometimes my job is way too much fun.

I ran an article in yesterday's issue of Trinity This Week about an upcoming Diversity Coffee Chat, which has been renamed and is now "Java with Joe." Clever. Of course, the name screams that it wants a graphic, so I created one. I attempted to create a vector-based graphic ("from scratch") in Illustrator. It wasn't…

I love this. It's a screenshot (web view) of Trinity's Instagram account, which changes regularly as the photos rotate. It's been exactly one month since I posted the first photo and it's actually grown a little faster than I'd expected, with 76 followers currently. Instagram is a funny animal.

Love these shots a co-worker took of me this morning. Thanks, Jedd!

I have a confession to make...well two. Although I type fast, I was never taught how to type properly. I was never taught to put two spaces after a period (between sentences) when typing. After reading this article, I guess you can say I was just ahead of curve and didn't know it? That's what…

This is the Facebook calendar for April...after April was all said and done. We officially launched our Facebook page on April 15, and…

I just learned about the "frame" attribute! I'm pretty amazed that I've never had to use it in more than five years. Along with the new design for the online weekly newsletter, I also just redesigned the generic broadcast email template. As I kept reviewing it, it just looked blank. I was going for a…

What a week! But this video was definitely a highlight. I was asked to produce it by our Director of Teaching & Learning, who saw a similar one done by a neighboring school. So on the first day of school, she and an assistant teacher took pictures and sent them to me (I only took…

Around this time last year (August 15, to be exact), I wrote a post about tweaking some of the CSS elements of Trinity This Week, just to update the look a little. For today's issue, the first of the school year, I redesigned it to be consistent with our new branding platform. I played with…
