They are clever, cute snap-on organizers for iPhone and iPad chargers & cables. The iPhone version appears below.

I don’t know any of the designers/developers, but thought it was interesting enough to look into. Maybe you’ll want one or know someone who wants to order a few as holiday gifts. Take a look quick, as funding closes September 8, 2011.

As I mentioned earlier this year, my mother had a stroke in January and was also diagnosed with cancer. Our family rallied to support her, with my brothers and sisters in Wisconsin seeing her daily. She had a few smaller strokes and was subsequently transferred from a hospital to a nursing home. My mother celebrated her 66th birthday in early July and I returned to be there with her and my brothers and sisters. A few days later her condition further deteriorated and she was transferred to a very nice hospice with wonderful staff. I returned in mid-July and was there when she passed on July 20th. Thanks to everyone who has shown their sympathy and support.

December 9, 2005 was officially my last day. Hopefully Silke Fleischer (and others?) will continue the Elearning Blog in my absence.

I just got a new laptop today and I can’t wait get started on some new projects. All the software I ordered from Adobe just can’t arrive soon enough.

Here are some of the things I plan on working on in 2006:

  • Updates to the AICC PENS documentation and Test Harness
     (see forum posts here)
  • A PENS Test Suite/Server-side Validater in PHP (Hint: send an email to mobilemind@pobox.com and I’ll let you know where the test suite lives right now)
  • Updates to this site and the blog format
  • Posting more regularly on the ASTD Learning Circuits Blog (there’s serious dust on my last entry)
  • Getting more proficient with S1000D
  • Thinking about a consistent way to track learner activity in virtual classrooms (see Learning Circuits entry above)
  • Working with lots of the friends I’ve made over the years
  • Doing more with simulations and Captivate and Flash and maybe even Flex
  • Maybe even writing a book
