The null hypothesis is immensely powerful. It doesn’t have to be proven, it just is. You don’t have to explain why you’re using Word to write a report or Power Point to give a presentation. You don’t have to explain why you present at conferences or write for a journal. They are already accepted, they […]
A slideshow of words
How often are we given undivided attention? Then, when we get it, how often do we waste the moment on a boring presentation?
My most powerful cartoon to date
This is not a cartoon, it’s a conversation starter. When I show this to a colleague or friend I get a story. Sometimes the story is about their first job in an office nowhere close to natural light. Other times the story is about being tied to a computer, trapped indoors. Not the usual “uh […]
Day of Random: In the end, there was a single firework
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.
