I worked on my website all day today. I also devised nine tasks for my hi-fi usability test, which I’ll do on one sucker participant tomorrow. Joe checked in after landing safely back in the country. We agreed to meet at NY Pizza at 11PM, as he was starving, and the scenery is always so … Read more
I was heads down into working on my portfolio website, which is to be demoed on Monday in class. My state tax refund came in the mail today. I thought I’d checked to have directly deposited. Maybe that’s only for federal. There was no “flap attachment” to the check, which seemed strange to me. It … Read more
I had a busy day today working on the upgrade of the Linux adapter guide. I was bugging Qiana every two minutes for about an hour. Rhonda, Qiana’s officemate, is working on the upgrades, too, and it’s a good thing all three of us are in the same cul-de-sac. I had lunch with Rhonda and … Read more
Today, on the way into work, “I Will Always Love You,” the duet version with Vince Gill and Dolly Parton came on my CD player. I’m not sure why most times I get through this song just fine, but every once in a while, it just grabs me by the balls. Or, more accurately, by … Read more

That’s what the meeting invitation … Read more
We got up at about 10:30, had some coffee, packed, showered and checked out by noon. The one elevator was still not working, which made check out of an entire hotel at approximately the same time a little bit frustrating. On the first trip to the car, the one elevator that was working arrived with … Read more
We got up at about 11, and walked over to the Walgreen’s to see if they had cream cheese, Doritos, and Diet Coke. They did. We didn’t get them just then, but instead, took a walk, and picked them up on the way back. Michael and Rick came over, and we played catch phrase for … Read more
I worked from home this morning, and did a load of laundry. I left the house around 12:30, and got to Robert’s at about 1:15. We got on the road by 1:30. We hit the most incredible traffic jam at about mile marker 62 on I-85, and spent the next hour getting to exit 65. … Read more
Things that make you go, “Hmmmmm!” Today I typed in dailyadmiration (instead of dailyafirmation) for my journal user id. Things that make you go, “Hmmmmm!” Tonight I saw someone pull up to, get out, and actually use a telephone booth. I stopped at the ABC Store, and purchased an “L,” a “Q,” and a “U.” … Read more
