Thanks for the link to the A Room Alive doc. Spending a little time with Lynda Barry and all of her creative energy and generosity, even if it's only through video, is a gift. And I love how different yet simpatico she and Jeff Butler are in what they can offer their students. What a classroom!

Another pick me up to the end of the week! Can you share organize your material for later use in your blogs? Is there a helpful app? I'm always losing/forgetting things I intend to share later...

omigosh thank you so much for the link to the Lynda Barry documentary. I want to be in that classroom so much -- or figure out how to create something like it!

Oh thank you for sharing Standard Ebooks! I find typesetting to be a very pleasant way of spending time, having done it for binding fanfiction, and love to see a place where I might volunteer to do it more.
