Only As Old As You Feel 2009-01-12 11:36:00 "Listen, Mom!" my 12-year-old daughter, Blossom, said to me the other day. She was working at my old laptop, and as she struck the keys a metallic, mechanical sound issued from the machine. "I made it sound funny!""That's a typewriter sound," I told her."Listen!" she repeated, hitting (I know) the 'Enter' key, and eliciting that old-school ratchet-and-ding. After a few more feverish taps, she l
Educating the Masses 2009-01-11 12:39:00 When my oldest daughter, Rose, started kindergarten, she was excited and I was sad - my baby was growing up! She had taught herself to read before she was out of diapers, and the classwork was so boring for her that she spent more time assisting the teacher than being a student. The next year, she was even more bored: the school asked if she could help with remedial reading for third graders, bu Read more:Masses
Back to it ... 2009-01-08 20:32:00 Well, if you're reading this, you too survived the holidays. I think we need an official non-holiday day to recover from the end-of-year madness.If not for the colds and flu going around, it would be a good time to gather family close and snuggle in with something quiet and restful. But everyone's sick, it seems, so instead we have to grab what little bits of peace and happiness we can.To you an

The Next Step 2008-12-05 11:11:00 It's darn hard to be productive with interruptions every 90 seconds or so.The last two days have been largely dominated by indeteric study ... Yes, I just made up a word. :) As a word smith (and linguistical artist), I get to do that.Sheta Kaey^ and I often run into problems communicating ideas because of terminology. She has studied the work of others and has a massive working vocabulary of ter
A Rant and a Prayer 2008-11-29 12:36:00 Just to be clear, I am not Christian. I do have a personal relationship with Jesus, but I don't consider Him my Savior - I get the impression He trusts me to save myself should I need it (which doesn't seem to be the case anyway).For years I have watched the holiday shopping insanity with bemusement and some sadness. When and why did Christians become not only okay with the massive commercializa Read more:Prayer

A Little Story 2008-11-21 14:07:00 Once upon a time there was an administrative savant known as Cally. She could run an office like a finely tuned machine. She enjoyed the challenge and predictability of her work.Then arrived the monster, a horrible entity known as a PPO which had been fiendishly designed to separate poor Cally from her sanity.Finally, Cally admitted defeat: the monster could not be tamed nor slain. So she plann

The Beginning of the End 2008-11-01 09:52:00 I have been working as a temp at a hospital for too damn long.Grumble!Never in my professional life have I been a temp at the same client for five years. It's unheard-of. It's stupid, for starters. Add to that my whopping 71 cent raise during that time, and the fact that I have been expected to manage 300+ doctors, 120+ groups, and a dozen health plans that merge, buy, sell each other, and at r
Bad Spam 2008-10-29 07:59:00 Checking my email this morning, I had four messages in the Spam folder advertising child porn.Most spam I just delete without concern. But in this case I wasn't going to just dump the junk. Gmail doesn't have a one-click reporting feature, so I did an online search and found that the Cyber Tipline of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children has an online reporting form. (It inclu

No title 2008-10-15 19:24:00 Trying to do cover art for a book and I have no inspiration whatsoever! It doesn't have to be fancy, the author says plain text on solid background is fine, but I want to do something at least a little more evocative than that.Mood:Frustrated
Internet-Taming Tools 2008-10-13 18:45:00 I don't know if anyone else has noticed, but the Internet
is a mess. It's full of stuff!As I'm trying to regain some control over my virtual life, I've found some useful tools for doing so I wanted to share.Flock is a "social web browser" - that is, you can log into your Faceook or MySpace account and have your friends available in the sidebar.
