I found Instagram a couple of months ago. I don't know if this is a good thing or not but I have found that it is incredibly easy to create a 30 or 60 second video clip and upload it directly.

I haven't written on my blog in many months. What happened?! All is well! I stopped running day-to-day operations at FDSA, and that freed up time to do what I am seriously passionate about - education. Free education, for the most part, because I spend a very high...
