A figurative work, depicting an atomic bomb’s mushroom cloud, and made out of massive chain links, it has stood proudly in front of Santa Monica’s City Hall for decades.

I’ve been lucky to receive some very sweet endorsements from some great PBR classmates like Hugh McElveen, Molly Ross, Christa Forster and Misha Penton. Walled Garden? I hope I at least half deserve their kind words. The only catch is, as Christa can tell you, NovoEd is a Walled Garden. …
One of the first posts I made within the walled garden of the PBRA/NovoEd’s Team Journal, from around October 17 — I was waiting for my other teammates to show up. They had names like Q1456 and Tom Ford and William Kheel. Vanessa and I were already talking, but we …

NovoED has redesigned its MOOC Team Home Pages injecting more currency and dynamic content into what previously was more of a decorative splash page.
Recently I led a half-hour workshop experimenting with the above format for a Custom Performance Lemonade Stand that would make a short, improvised performance for a “customer.” There were 7 participants in the workshop.
