My short post is about my good friend Kat, pictured above.

We met because a neighbour rescued him for a dog attack when he was a kitten. He decided to live with me and my wife. Kat and I both liked sitting on the balcony and eating. Unfortunately he passed away in 2017, aged 17 years. He was an amazing companion. R.I.P

Your Semester So Far

Image
This has been a busy semester for me so far. I usually teach 3 English courses and an a cross-curricular elective n Manga & Anime which I participate in with FAU Academic Diego Vallejos However, this semester, I started teaching a pilot of a new CFG FAU called English for Work Purposes. Also, for the last 12-months I've been the coordinator of Home Working (teletrabajo) in FAU.  The English for Work Purposes course has been very time consuming because I'm creating all the materials from scratch and trying to teach career-related content to students from the 4 careers in FAU. I enjoy doing this sort of thing but I think I'm going to get a teaching assistant or do some co-teaching next semester. The teletrabajo work was very busy in August and September but it's been a little quieter since fiestas patrias.  On a personal note, life in general has also been busy. It was my wife's birthday in September and her sister visited (she's from Santiago but she lives in...

2 Photos

  Hi FAU Bloggers. This week I'd like to talk about 2 photos. I guess the world was very different when I was younger. Not many people I knew had a camera. Photos were for special occasions. We'd have a school photo or photos when cousins came to stay or if we went on holiday. When I was a child, photographs were taken on reels of film that needed to be developed. It was usually a couple of weeks before you could see the photo, way after the event had happened. Nowadays, everything is instant:) This photo must be from the 1960's. I guess I must be about 7 or 8 years old but I can't be 100% sure. It's taken outside the house I grew up in from the age of 6 years old in Abbot's Nook, Chester. If I remember rightly, we were just playing in the street outside my house. My eldest sister, Terri, is in the background on the right hand side. I'm not sure who the other person is. Possibly a cousin. I think my eyes look like "anime eyes", sort of dark and ups...

A Piece of Technology

Image
 Hi FAU Bloggers! Today I'd like you to write about a piece of technology. This could be a digital camera, a drone, a phone, a computer or a kitchen appliance like a mixer. In my case I'm going to write about a sampler I use to make music. The machine in question is an Akai MPC ONE. It's a sampler with a bit in sample library, lots of instrument plug-ins, and powerful effects. Actually, it's a little complicated to use and even though I've had it for about 2-years, I[m still in the learning phase. I've had other MPCs before but this has so many additions that it only really resembles the older MPCs in looks.The MPC has 4 banks of 16 pads that you can assign tracks to. You can also sample up to about 20 minutes of live sound and modify and reuse it "on the fly" (in real time). This "instrument" was designed in the 80's (I think) but really catch people's attention when hip-hop artists started using it creatively - not the way it was de...
