I’m not exactly sure what it means, and I’m not too sure who the information is intended for, but it sure does make the mind swirl with possibilities.

Or is it?

Taco John’s is my all-time favorite fast food joint – but they really don’t need to sell their tacos for less than a penny. At that price, I’ll take a six pack.

Of course that was also true on our ship. I don’t know about you, but I’m not getting into lifeboat #15 – because it really is #13 – and apparently that means you’re going to die out there.

Of course I asked everyone to turn their cellular devices ON, especially since we used them as part of the session by demonstrating Poll Everywhere as part of my Teaching with Technology, Myths and Realities presentation.

Highly recommended.

I couldn’t resist using the sign to create one of the de-motivational posters that are so much fun.
