This site is an excellent resource for Puzzlemaker, when you want a crossword puzzle to support the literature, science or social studies.

As the two-handed economist says, "On the one hand... , but on the other hand." (It's a very old Harry Truman comment - look it up!). Mr. Johnson has been leading his district towards technology with clarity, patience and wit. He has pithy comments, within which he plants a great kernal of truth. I use both his commentary articles and his blog. Media can be a solitary persuit; it is authors like Doug Johnson who remind me I am not alone!

Obviously, this is a person with whom I enjoy spending time.
Another person I easily stop to listen to is my professor from Hamline, Cara Hagen. She has a strong, calm presence in the classroom. Her enthusiasm is positive and her passion is technology. I am using her reference to "Mr. K" to support my purchases for the library.
