I’m The Modernish Father and this is my wee corner of the web. Life rarely slows down long enough for me to be able to record what’s going on, but when it does, I share it here.
The beginning of the school year is almost here, which means getting ready for a group of new students and faculty at work. Just like last year, I was assigned to make a brief but memorable orientation video for our new faculty members. I was really happy with what we did last year and was [...]
