Audio Production Thursday Style. . .

And here we are at the end of January already! My, how time does fly.

In any case, here are a couple of shots of Thursday's at-home attire, another variation of the usual cold weather uniform when I am not on campus. The usual corduroy jeans in one color or another with either a plaid flannel shirt (tucked in), or a Rugby jersey, and one of six ribbon belts in the rotation. A cozy day spent down here in my office, aka Zum Stollenkeller, recording and processing the latest edition of my podcast to provide added support to the students in my hybrid courses for Spring 2025.

Gotta love the Shure and Rode hardware combined with the audio processing software from Waves and Universal Audio! That's stuff for a different discussion however.

Yesterday's 12-minute episode was on the importance of learning teams taking a close look at, reevaluating, and modifying their collaborative work habits following completion and submission of Team Project #1. I'll embed the finished audio in the Week Six course module set up in our online learning management system for students to access in three weeks when we actually get to Week Six.

But I digress! Yet again, the clothing illustrated above shows that one need not stray into perpetually adolescent slob territory even when at home and out of sight. Dress presentably for yourself.

The Power of Ideas. . .

T he end is nigh! The autumn semester/term approaches. And while we still have almost two months of summer left according to the calendar, "Summer is over and gone," as the crickets sang in Charlotte's Web . At least for those of us who head back to the classroom in less than a month. In advance of a meeting with my program director late Monday morning, I spent about 40 minutes total during the weekend to jot down several ideas about planned workshops and related activities for the coming 2024-2025 academic year. At an opportune moment, I mentioned "I have a few ideas," and opened my leather portfolio. My director was highly receptive to almost everything I suggested, and we had a very productive planning session for just over 90 minutes. Just about everything I sketched out on Sunday aligns with his own ideas. It's nice when meetings go that well, and two related things occur to me in hindsight. One, it pays to exercise...

CSA Pick-Up Style. . .

I t's getting to be that time in the summer! Yep, the garden fresh vegetables are starting to come in. Picked up the first half-share of the Grand Duchess' Summer 2024 community supported agriculture allotment late yesterday (Thursday) afternoon. Some delicious looking items that will make a nice salad for dinner this evening. Meanwhile, the Grand Duchess and Young Master are across Lake Michigan in Wisconsin visiting cousins for the next several days and attending a large annual airshow. while yours truly holds down the fort. More of the usual summertime fare in the attire photos featured. This particular shirt, while it has not appeared here in quite some time, is one of my favorites. An item that has been in the seasonal rotation for a dozen years or more. It ironed up nicely before I put it on and tucked it in. The chino shorts (with a 6" inseam. . . I know, I know.) are one of many such khaki pairs currently occupying the bottom...

A Box of Mercer Goodness. . .

D uring a day already full of pleasant surprises, these arrived via UPS late this afternoon. About a month before I expected them. Yes! Looking very forward to their inaugural wearings in just a few weeks when we're back on campus. -- Heinz-Ulrich
