The View from Thunder Ridge: January 2014
http://viewthunder.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
The View from Thunder Ridge. Friday, January 31, 2014. Gonna Live, Laugh, Love, just for today. I went on a tangent in a conversation last weekend and never got back to an explanation of my wrist tattoo. Not that I need to explain my actions, but sometimes the thousand words only come from the picture when context is added. I'm gonna live, laugh, love just for today. Gonna take all the trouble that tomorrow might bring and put it away. Gonna drink every drop of happiness. Til they cover me up. Coffee is ...

The View from Thunder Ridge: America - You embarrass me
http://viewthunder.blogspot.com/2013/10/america-you-embarrass-me.html
The View from Thunder Ridge. Saturday, October 12, 2013. America - You embarrass me. Friends, I haven't written in awhile and I'm sorry. Life has been very busy, but that's a discussion for another day. Today I want to talk a bit about politics in America. I am a Librarian, I've spent 12 years as a civilian working for the government. I can't tell you the details because it is an ethics violation, but I provide a valuable service that is used by over 1 million unique users daily. Frankly, I wish there wa...

The View from Thunder Ridge: I am privileged to be Pale and Male.
http://viewthunder.blogspot.com/2014/04/i-am-privileged-to-be-pale-and-male.html
The View from Thunder Ridge. Thursday, April 3, 2014. I am privileged to be Pale and Male. In occasional Librarian discussions online, the topics of diversity and privilege come up. Those topics go hand in hand, but I'm only going to talk about privilege here. No The difference was what society expects when they see that person. For my analogy, I only focused on race and gender, but there are many more factors that can be used to split us into social groups. Rich / Poor, Healthy / Sick, Christian / M...

http://socialmediainmeded.blogspot.com/2012/11/re-cap-of-aamc12-what-should-faculty.html
Social Media in Medical Education. Friday, November 9, 2012. Re-cap of AAMC12: What Should Faculty Know About Social Media? Participants discussed these issues, including who should best lead the way in education about social media. Should students or residents instead of faculty? One participant came to the conclusion that any education about social media for trainees needs to be framed in the positive: the opportunities. Finally, it was time for the participants to come up with some baseline competenci...

The View from Thunder Ridge. Wednesday, May 21, 2014. Talkin 'bout the Good Old Days. At the time of this post, I'm 52 years old. I'm not one to reminisce about the good old days. In most cases, they weren't that good. However, two recent conversations and the Miranda Lambert song ‘Automatic’ (link below) have me thinking about some skills and knowledge that kids are missing out on these days.

The View from Thunder Ridge: March 2013

The View from Thunder Ridge. Wednesday, March 20, 2013. Not for the squeamish. To protect against unwanted shock, I'm going to fill space so the picture needs to be scrolled to. These are plexiglass panels featuring a thin section of the human body; male on left and female on right. Monday, March 4, 2013. Are we over-medicating our children? In my case, this boredom showed in talking to myself, talking to neighbors, or reading a fiction book when I could get away with it. I still remember at a very e...

The View from Thunder Ridge: In Memoriam: 9/11/2001
http://viewthunder.blogspot.com/2014/09/in-memoriam-9112001.html
The View from Thunder Ridge. Thursday, September 11, 2014. On this thirteenth anniversary of the attacks, I thought I'd write up my memories of activities around me on that day. One thing I've learned in talking with people about 9/11 is the "localness" effect on what they remember. I work in the DC Metro region so memories around here relate to the Pentagon attack. Friends in North Jersey talk about the World Trade Centers. The next big thing in my day was a call relating to a job interview. I was s...
