The UT Tower is stunning. Yesterday the Carnegie team and I got to spend a whole day in this iconic building meeting with marcomm pros. I could spend *days* in the library, alone.🤘#hookem

"How could we lighten the conversation about mental health & break through the clutter of the 4 billion emails we send every day? We just wanted students to ask for help. And for them to know it's OK."

Hence, the U Okay? campaign was born. #CUPRAP2025

"if you have a piece of content on your site that's performing well, you can just plug it into a GPT and say: create a 25 second script for TikTok. It's a great way to repurpose content."

I took a whittle break today to start something new.

That's right. My father reads my LinkedIn posts, and he writes comments just like he writes text messages: with formal salutations.

Still calls me Joey, too.

Sometimes, our most insurmountable silos can be in our own thinking — and in how and when we engage with others. This isn't a #HigherEd thing. It's a post-pandemic people thing.

Thanks to @shanebaglini.bsky.social & @enrollify.bsky.social for a great chat. 🙏

I mean, we could all use a healthy dose of Blockbuster altruism, right?

"Be kind, rewind" is more than a tagline. What better way to show kindness to the next renter of "The Neverending Story" than to help them succeed by returning the tape rewound? That's goodwill.

Is there a more hopeful closing scene in cinema than when Shirley MacLean's Fran Kubelik tells Jack Lemon's C.C. Baxter: "Shut up and deal"?

"A Complete Unknown" blew me away. It's a cleverly observant study of talent, celebrity, and a period of time the could easily have slipped into idolatry.

But it didn't. Timothée Chalamet's Dylan is enigmatic, elusive, mean, and absolutely believable. And the MUSIC! I was hooked 20 seconds in...

I'm committed to hand crafting gifts this year for my family and friends. Today's project: A log cabin Christmas smoker.

It's good for my soul to create with my hands. It grounds me. Slows down time so I can be in the moment, for as many moments as it takes to finish the task.

I've had this paperweight since college — and it has always guided me.

Today, I started writing something big. Hope it's as visible when I'm done as it was clear in my mind.✍️

This just came in the mail. My personal project is installing the Grovers and a Vibramate String Spoiler. Then the Gretsch officially becomes road ready. Just need to start a band. 😜

I found this pic of Steve Jobs in box within the Drexel University Archives on this day in 2011. I was researching a story about how Drexel came to be the first member of the Apple University Consortium to require every student to use the Macintosh.

It is a humbling and inspiring jolt of energy to lead a workshop with college leaders and faculty in an environment of mutual respect — and see smiles, nods, eye contact; those non-verbal cues that put us all at ease so that our minds are open to something big.⚡🙏

This Gretsch Electromatic guitar. I cannot walk by it without playing it. And during this busy time of year, playing music is my most meaningful path to mindfulness.
