I'm a teacher, writer, musician, father of three creative young men, and husband to a librarian. Cool, right? My teaching 'home' has long been the National Writing Project.
I blog (we still do that, right?) at https://dogtraxwrites.com/

Now that I have settled in a bit, and found the #EduSky hashtag (yeah!), I suppose I should introduce myself. I teach sixth grade in Western Massachusetts and have been long connected with the National Writing Project. I love writing & music, hiking & kayaking, and exploring tech. Happy to connect.
@avibagla.com Hi Avi. I spent some time exploring your website of quirky projects as part of my own personal inquiry into Indie Websites via the Internet Phone Book. I had a fun time with your projects. Cows Love Jazz! You know it. Thank you for making and sharing. dogtraxwrites.com/internetphon...

"Loveliheads" is word a friend uses all the time as a word of kindness to family and friends. Now it can come off the Bluesky Dictionary's unused word list. I'll have to let her know. www.avibagla.com/blueskydicti...

Can Bluesky say every word in the English language? Well this is your chance to find out.

@joodaloop.com Hi Judah -- I am on a slow explore of various indie websites listed in the Internet Phone Book project (I have a bound copy) and I spent some time at your site this morning, wandering around. I enjoyed my visit, and thought I would let you know.

We are using a Medieval Cat meme site for today's #ds106 #DailyCreate

I went the route of the perennial musician's lament of an audience request.

A few years back, my friend and I recorded a holiday song (Gift of Peace) and in recent years, I have tried to do musical remixes as a gift to my songwriting friend.

Here is this year's short remix: www.youtube.com/watch?v=hFDm...
