It Took All Summer To Publish Two PR Connection Podcasts and All Fall to Blog About It
And it’s all worth it. Especially as Antonio Vantaggiato stay in touch through the interwebs. As he reminded me in September, it was a year since we started our plan to share his and students in Puerto Rico stories of living through Hurricane Maria, and the idea to send support via postcards. On our very […]
Hurricane María–The flashback
A lot has been said and written on hurricane María and our experience of it and our experience of its aftermath. Today, exactly one year after its passage, let me commemorate it and all the students who with me have … Continue reading →

A Home for the Puerto Rico Connection Podcast
Of the nature of old school blogging is quaint and dated, podcasting may not be far behind. Ever since the start of a podcasting project interrupted by a hurricane Antonio Vantaggiato and I have been hodgepodging a podcast series we call “The Puerto Rico Connection” (yes the play on the movie title was deliberate but […]

Episode 3 of the Puerto Rico Connection: Raiders of the Lost Tape
By day he’s an ordinary computer science professor at Universidad Sagrado del Corazon, but once he puts that hat on, it’s adventure time for… Puerto Rico Jones? Indiana Vantaggiato? I’ve been thinking it’s time to record a new podcast with Antonio Vantaggiato, and in a few DMs he asked what about the last one we […]
Beauty, Courage Amongst Rubble: Beyond the Bubble
Do you remember the kerfuffle when Georgia Tech canceled a Coursera MOOC on “Fundamentals of Online Education: Planning and Application” because the ill-advised use of a Google spreadsheet for 40,000 participants, crashed it? Can you imagine what would happen to Georgia Tech courses if a Category 4 hurricane slammed the state, leaving its inhabitants flooded, […]
4 People, 3 Continents, 2nd Podcast, 1 live recording: The Puerto Rico Connection
An hour of connectivity, care, and stories, enabled by the networks and nodes we call people. On my last day in Australia I set up my laptop on the wooden table in Kate Bowles (@katemfd) house in Thirroul (near Wollongong, on the east coast south of Sydney). Birds outside sang and cooed, dogs barked, and […]

Yes, it’s our last week of class and I am still getting postcards from kind and generous people. There is power everywhere at Sagrado, even though they are checking the air conditioning systems, so not all are functioning. Next week … Continue reading →

It’s Out! Episode 1 of The Puerto Rico Connection
Borrowing from a movie’s taglines the opening here might be “The time is just right for an out and out podcast like this” or “There are no rules and no holds barred when Antonio’s accent cuts loose!” Here is the first episode of a new podcast that Antonio Vantaggiato and I produced asynchronously collaboratively. TW […]
Oh so many postcards for #care4sagrado!!
More postcards arrived at my desk during the past week, and I am just like a kid… so happy to get mail!! Curiously, getting emails has not got a similar effect 😉 –well, perhaps in the late eighties it did. … Continue reading →
