When are you most happy? Back in the early days of word processing, I used macros all the time. You could set them up as you needed, say, for the end of a letter: Sincerely, Stephen A. Schrum, PhD Leave a voicemail on Google Voice for me: 724-835-4074 And then, when you hit a certainContinue reading “Where Are the Macros of Yesteryear?”

Play or Fun? Play AND Fun!
What was the last thing you did for play or fun? As part of the founding of a new theatre company, I decided to join the Chamber of Commerce for networking. During one of those events, I spoke with some people from a local chain hotel who are interested in some programming. The same wasContinue reading “Play or Fun? Play AND Fun!”
A What?
Describe a man who has positively impacted your life. Every morning, as I get my first cup of coffee, I take a look at the daily prompt so my mind can ponder it while I prepare to do the actual writing. Often my mind responds like a Fourth of July sparkler, with many useful ideasContinue reading “A What?”
This Year…And the Next…
Is your life today what you pictured a year ago? A year ago I thought I would be starting a new theatre company (I did, on May 1), and then there would be this magical sweep into projects and performances. It didn’t happen. Taking the time to build the structure has been useful, and now,Continue reading “This Year…And the Next…”
Trust Your Instincts!
What skills or lessons have you learned recently? Didn’t I just write about instincts recently? Did I learn to trust them? I guess I did this week! A person says, “I’ve met someone,” and shows you her picture—and alarm bells go off. You see a flashing red light. Someone yells, “Captain to the bridge!” inContinue reading “Trust Your Instincts!”
The Scammer’s Handbook
Wouldn’t you like to get a glimpse of The Scammer’s Handbook? Well, now you can! All you need to do is look at any scam/spam email and you see a part of what they must circulate (I imagine a 3” 3-ring binder) in order to try to entrap their victims. The amazing part for meContinue reading “The Scammer’s Handbook”
Why Still These?
The world has been taken over by the Computer Age and the Information Age. Except for those barred from participating by technological or financial barriers, almost everyone has some access to technology. And certainly those who work in university settings use technology constantly. So why are we still seeing these? Pet Peeve Alert! #1: There’sContinue reading “Why Still These?”
Bye Bye, Scammers, Bye Bye!
Well, some of them anyway. Frequent readers of this blog have seen my mentions of the scammers who start with an innocent text, such as, “Hello, Lisa, it’s Grace, we met at the conference, would you like to meet for lunch?” The recipient is supposed to reply denying being the intended recipient, so the senderContinue reading “Bye Bye, Scammers, Bye Bye!”
Cats That Look Like Hitler
Back in the early, fun, and exploratory days of the Internet, there was a site that collected photos of “cats that looked like Hitler.” Also known as Kitlers, there were cute and kind of ironic. I just thought of this as I was washing dishes, since someone gave me a mug with cats on it,Continue reading “Cats That Look Like Hitler”
Trustworthy, Loyal, Brave, and True?
Tell us one thing you hope people say about you. Isn’t that the motto of the Boy Scouts? Of course, I mean the scouts themselves and not those predators who, under the guise of guiding young boys, led them astray. My, it sounds too much like members of the Catholic clergy! If people were toContinue reading “Trustworthy, Loyal, Brave, and True?”
