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. Read more

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. Read more

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… Read more

Twelve years ago this morning, I (like so many) awoke asking myself, “Did that really happen?” Twelve years later, I find myself still asking the same question. It all still feels so surreal, regardless of the time that passes. I still feel the way I felt after nine years had passed, still wanting for everything… Read more

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.

There have been times when it’s played and I’ve dissolved into tears, especially during this part (the bridge). Today wasn’t one… Read more

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

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… Read more

I just finished the social media calendar for September. One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned since managing this aspect of Trinity’s online presence is to leave room to let things happen. This is the Facebook calendar for April…after April was all said and done. We officially launched our Facebook page on April 15, and… Read more

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… Read more
