One more thing that I love about presenting at the High Ed Web Dev conference: They collect and share data about your presentation. This type of information helps me understand my presentation choices and, hopefully, helps me improve the presentations I give. Since they were nice enough to share with me, I’ll share it with […]

The PCC population is overwhelmed by technology. We want to help you navigate technology at PCC. This is why a collaborative venture between the TLC, TSS and a variety of departments who specialize in technology tools and methods is taking place at the Sylvania TLC (CC 223) Fall Term, 2013.

We need a stout. Rather than another Shakespeare clone, we decide to go way, way back and give the 16-ton another shot. At one point, I was planning to brew a massive 16% ABV imperial, but seeing as we still have bottles from the last imperial… let’s dial it back a bit. Recipe Specifics Style: […]

One of my very favorite items ever brewed was the Spruce Tip ale that accidentally went sour. We’re going to try and recreate it, but also go a step further: by replacing 30% of the barley with wheat, we’ll have a better foundation for a lambic. If we then save it to mix with future […]

Still trying to perfect an IPA recipe.  The Ranger(ish) clone was great, but lacked hop character. The Ebenezer IPA and Loop de Loop, on the other hand, took things a bit too far. So, it’s time to go back to the basics. Let’s brew the basic Ranger malt profile with heavy amounts of Cascades near […]

It’s been a long, long while since we last brewed, but with the cold weather setting in I got the bug to do a spur-of-the-moment CDA. Instead of hitting the brew store, I literally scoured the basement for ingredients. There were many substitutions. Some of the grain was over year old – but still tasted fresh […]

Fear not, help has arrived. In this session, Karlyn Borysenko will give you […]

Donna Talarico: Integrated Marketing Manager, Elizabethtown College OMG! There’s a typo in my post and it already has seven likes and a share. UH-OH! Someone created a phony account for our mascot! YIKES! I just tweeted from Happy Hour – on the College’s account. If you’re human (you are, right?), then that means you’re bound […]

Jeremy Streich: Web Applications Develoer, UW-Milwaukee The modern web design fashion is to whole sale redesign when things get stale. Marketing “refreshes” are par for course when people begin talking about “brand identity.” That said, wholesale redesign of site based solely on the opinion of the highest paid person in the room’s opinion is fool […]
