Photo Nomination, Part 2
Cool. This photo was accepted into the Schmap Austin, TX Visitor Guide.
Not too shabby for a quick snapshot before a conference.
Photo Nomination
Got a message today that this photo, which I took on my trip to Austin, TX in February, has been nominated for inclusion in a 2010 Austin City Guide. It’s not a paid gig, but I like this photo and I’m willing to share, so I gave permission to include it for consideration. No guarantees, but I will be interested to see if it gets picked!
Austin, TX
I spent last week in Austin, TX, for the Educause Southwest Regional Conference 2010; I presented a session on “Using a Wiki to Keep Up with Evolving Training and Documentation Needs”.
Flying and I really don’t get along. My flight out got cancelled, so I got put on a later flight – meaning I missed my connecting flight, so I got to Austin about three hours after I was scheduled to. My last flight coming home was pretty terrible – delayed for two hours, super hot, and someone had been eating beans… and that’s before the bumpy descent and slam-into-the-runway landing. The hotel was okay, the food was expensive, and the whole trip had entirely too little of my Ryan. The conference itself was good, so it was worth going, but man… no more flying for me for a loooooong time!
I also made time to tour the Texas State Capitol; here are some photos:

Taking a Break and Catching Up
Whew. It’s been a craaaazy couple of weeks. Luckily, I took pictures.

Making a Training Video
One of my recent projects (one of several that seem to be taking me a little ways outside my “comfort zone”) was to create a training video documenting our new registration system, which will be opened up to students on April 6, 2009. Since I had never made a video before, I was a little nervous, but I was able to come up with a pretty snazzy video in a relatively short time. Read on to find out how I did it, and to see the finished product!
