Frankenphones and Frankenapps
Since it’s October, my thoughts turn to spooky monsters like giant Frankenstein smartphones and vampires like data-sucking and battery-sucking apps. Fear not! This post delves into the frightening world of Frankenphones and Frankenapps.
Beware of the little monsters lurking within your new smartphone. I have seen many phones also bring the zombie curse to their users. Only a spell would explain the crazy obsession with selfies.
So, to paraphrase James Whitcomb Riley’s old poem: “The smartphone’s gonna getcha if ya don’t watch out!”
Editor’s Note: I originally published this blog on October 6, 2015. I revamped and updated it for timeliness and comprehensiveness.

Homeschool Expulsion

I have done some illustrations for Apologia Educational Ministries. I have been impressed with the depth and complexity of their text books. There are so many great resources out there today.
If you are running any nonprofit or children’s program, it is imperative you run background checks on everyone.
I have heard too many stories where children were abused because everyone assumed a volunteer was trustworthy. When it comes to a child’s safety, never assume!

Happy National Coffee Day!
Coffee has been a creative juice for me since college. In honor of this day, I put the coffee gauge all the way to empty. It was an honor to do so. Enjoy your cup of Joe today!
