Welcome!

This site collects all of the stuff I do into one place. Feel free to browse and explore. You may find something interesting or useful!

Radio & podcasting

For 15 years, I have been a volunteer with KTEP FM, the National Public Radio affiliate in El Paso. I've had a variety of roles there but the latest, and my favorite, has been the hosting of my "new age" music show on Sunday evenings, Audiosyncracy. I also have developed a passion for the home-grown media that is now referred to as podcasting. I have a podcast of the same name as my show, devoted to promotiing the independent artists in the new age realm. I invite you to check out this "unique music for discriminating adults."

Professional development

I am a K-12 Instructional Technologist for a large, urban school district in El Paso, TX, USA. In that capacity and related endeavors, I develop a variety of content, both face-to-face and online, for assisting teachers with the process of integrating technology into their daily teaching.

Information and material from my presentations is available in the professional development page.

Second Life (and other interests)

I have recently discovered Second Life! I'm not ordinarily a gamer, but this immersive world has entered my psyche in a big way. I'm Jamey Sismondi in-world so, if you're also a "Second Lifer" look me up in-game.

In addition to SL and podcasting, I'm a wanna-be sailor (try that in a desert!) and sailplane pilot. I also volunteer with the Librivox project.

More info on my activities is on the second life page.
