Today Apple announced the much-anticipated “New iPad” (yes that is the actual name apparently). My thoughts are simple… Apple is doing with the iPad, the exact same thing they’ve done with the iPhone. Traditionally with the iPhone Apple has done a revolutionary release every two years while the release in between has been evolutionary at best. When the first iPhone came out it was absolutely amazing, and so was the first iPad. With the second generation iPhone we got the iPhone 3G, which again, was awesome. The second release of the iPad brought us the iPad 2 which was another leap forward for the tablet device. However, after the first two revolutionary releases of the iPhone, we were treated to the iPhone 3G S before we got the iPhone 4, and now we are getting the “New iPad” before we’ll get the actual iPad 4 (I believe).

Why I Choose to Teach
I’m not an educator by trade, I’m a designer. That’s actually my first love and passion, and I’m not half bad at it either. However, I’ve made a conscious decision to make education my career and I can honestly say that I wouldn’t change that for anything in the world. I take great pride in what I do and I feel it’s an area that we’re seriously lacking in throughout this country. So, in an effort to do my part, I teach.
I’m Officially Joining lynda.com
I’ve been teasing for weeks now that I have a big announcement coming… Well, today is the day folks! Beginning February 6th, I will be officially joining the lynda.com team as a Staff Author. If you’ve followed me for any length of time, you know that I’ve been doing this training thing for quite some time. I’ve taken a few jobs and even tried to strike out on my own once or twice, but in the end I always felt as if something was missing. Now, with this new job at lynda.com, I’m able to fulfill my dream of doing what I love for a company I love and respect. The best part is that I only have to focus on one thing… Creating content! After all, that’s what I do best.
My First Series for Lynda.com
Well, the day has finally come when I can announce my first series with Lynda.com! Yep, that’s right as of this morning my first series entitled “Creating and Managing a Blog Network with WordPress” is now LIVE in the Lynda.com Online Training Library. Whew, does it feel good to finally say that out loud!
This course is 3+ hours of instruction on how to create, install, and manage a WordPress Multisite installation, so if you’ve ever been curious about Multisite or if you’re just looking to brush up on your skills, feel free to check it out! I’m very proud of this class and hope that you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed developing and recording it. As I said, this is my first course with Lynda.com, but hopefully not my last.
