The Evolution of Technology: The Television Movie aka Movies-of-the-Week
By Professor David E. Weber and Bruce Sallan The Evolution of Technology series continues with a detour to a form of television that is largely extinct: The Television Movie. Also known as Movies-of-the-Week, they were once a staple of the major networks’ schedules back in the days before Fox, Cable, and even VCRs, let alone DVRs. It was also the focus of my first career for a quarter century. Look me up on IMDB or Wikipedia to learn of my sordid past in showbiz! Radio Show: #Stress and Standardized Tests

Test Prep Sanity at #DadChat
Everyone knows the stress that standardized tests cause both students and their parents. We’ve got THE expert on this subject this Thursday at #DadChat from 6:00 – 7:00 p.m. PT/9:00 -10:00 p.m. ET. Elie Venezky (@PrestigePrep) has been helping families prepare for standardized tests for over 14 years. One Overwhelming Week of #Stress We all live busy lives. There’s a saying that goes something like, “If you want something to get done, give it to a busy person.” That may be true, but please don’t give it to me. I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed these days. It’s really a good overwhelmed but my doctor insists the body reacts the same to good or bad stress. How we monitor and manage our stresses is so important but I’m not going to offer those suggestions. Essentials on #SEO, #Communication, Social Media, #Technology, Money, and More Between our The Evolution of Technology blog series and my other weekend technology columns, I’ve found that writing about technology and Social Media is not only fun but I bring, just as I do with my parenting writing, a unique point-of-view. How? Because: I’m NO EXPERT. I use and experience technology as a layman, but express it as a writer. My parenting “expertise” is exactly the same. Radio Show: Thanksgiving SpecialFirst air date: Thursday, November 22, 2012 Featured guests: Pastor Drew Sams (Calvary Church, Westlake Village, CA) for “Teen Rap” This is our Thanksgiving special and the column referenced is, “What Does Thanksgiving Mean to You?” and the discussion is about Thanksgiving, with quotes from readers, the Bible, famous and less famous people.
