So Sundays are going to be my “Day of Random.” It’s my blog’s least busiest day and giving it my least coherent post seems to make sense. I drew this cartoon, wrote the caption, and have no idea what it really means. Sure, another blogger might never let a cartoon like this see the light […]
After losing a Twitter follower
Ok, so I really shouldn’t be bothered. In the past few weeks I’ve gained a number of new Twitter followers, which makes me happy… But I lost one, and not a random one. Someone I have connected with in the past, someone I respect. Everyone has a different Twitter strategy. Sometimes that strategy changes and […]
I think John Gargani is following me
How many times must you see someone out of the corner of your eye before it seems more than mere coincidence? At a large conference there are going to be people you never see, there will also be people you see everywhere. The coincidence shaking moment happened when I saw John Gargani at Jeff Wasbes’ […]
New technology loop
One of the things I’m trying to do more this year is reach out to my colleagues for cartoon inspiration. As much as I could just sit and cartoon daily from the thoughts bouncing around in my head, reaching out for cartoon ideas really tests me and, ultimately, produces cartoons that are more meaningful. The […]
I’m not a tech guy
There were somewhere around 50 Ignite sessions at Evaluation 2012. Each one was recorded by Kevin Flora. Following the conference, Kevin will be going through each recording, editing and prepping for an eventual online release. When I met Kevin on Thursday morning he refused the title of “tech guy.” Kevin is in an interdisciplinary doctoral […]
Still too much generic
I guess it's a step in the right direction. Instead of just putting up a few bullet points, you searched the web and found the perfect ultra generic stock image. At some point in your life you were super creative, what happened to that you?
No furry cowhide chairs are available #eval12
I was fortunate to have a similar flight time as a few of my colleagues. We decided to eat together at an airport restaurant. The following cartoon depicts what happened next. It's times like these that I am most proud to hang out with the eval crowd.
Highlights from the #dataviz & #reporting TIG meeting #eval12
Last night I received further confirmation as to why I love being part of the data visualization and reporting topical interest group. It is just one big group of creatives and innovators. I can't wait until the recorded presentations go up on the web. Here are my cartoons.
Thursday afternoon #eval12 update
Tried to get into an Ignite session a little too late today. Jam packed and probably needing bigger rooms next year. Heading to happy hour in a few at Brit's pub. Here are some midday cartoons to hold you over until later tonight…
Good Thursday morning #eval12
So my Ignite presentation is done and it was a lot of fun. I definitely can't make the claim that I had the best presentation of my session, my co- igniters rocked it. He are three cartoons to get your day started. The third can help boost your presentation performance. If you want to know […]
Poster reception #eval12
Coolest thing about the poster night for me is running into friends and online amigos. He's not cartooned below but Matt Keene should win the coolest evaluator award. I'm not just saying that because he bought me a beer.
The future of evaluation and what we should do about it #eval12
This session was filled with Evaluation's heavy hitters; John Gargani, Michael Scriven, Susan Kistler, Beverly Parsons, Tyra Good, and Christina Segerholm. It was a good mix of optimism and pessimism with a touch of motivation. Here are my cartoons…
