The problem with "work life balance" is it assumes there are two discrete parts to a person: The work part, and the life part, and these must be kept in "balance". But the things that make a person human are uncountable and cannot be separated. There are no "parts".

If you use flipped learning in your higher ed classes or know someone who does, and you'd like to appear in my book, please read:. I'm working on the second edition of my 2017 book on flipped learning in higher education and will be introducing a bunch of case studies showing how.

Well, I just did a campus tour with my 16yo who's looking at colleges -- at my home institution. I remained incognito. An interesting experience to see how we market ourselves to prospective first-years.

Just saw a FB post for an upcoming concert, and the link to the band that is giving the concert goes to their Google+ page. #throwback.

One of my proudest achievements as a parent is that I randomly introduced my 16yo to Stevie, and now he's obsessed. I walk past his room my most days and he's got Innervisions or something blasting.

I texted my wife earlier that I found the perfect spot for hammocking in the backyard. Got auto-corrected to "ham mocking", which I guess is making fun of pork? Anyway not sure what she thinks I like to do in the backyard any more.

I was an extra in the classic movie "Ernest Goes To Camp". It was filmed 10min from my house and they hired every Boy Scout in the county for extras. There's a clear shot of me doing pushups early on. Got to hang out with Jim Varney who was even funnier IRL than on screen.
