This is one of the entries in the Adorable category of the YouTube awards. The little girl is adorable, and it’s so funny (though not nice) hearing her say what she does. This is one of those videos that I think I could watch a hundred times and still laugh on the 100th viewing. (It’s … Read more
I edited from home today. In the “background,” I did three loads of laundry—(1) whites (mostly workout clothes), (2) darks, and (3) sheets & towels. I listened in on a two-hour conference call, the first topic of which was pertinent, interesting, and well-presented. The second topic was pertinent, but a real snoozer of a presentation. … Read more
Today, I celebrate 6 complete years with no television in my home. Yay! A gem from indexed blog: Price check! I worked from home today doing guess what—editing. I ran into Planet Fitness today to meet Rachel @ 11:00, who took me through the Lower Body machines. I didn’t have time to stay and do the … Read more
This is an incredible visual creation. Let it load all the way, and then slowly move the slide bar at the bottom from left to right. The sound is not critical, but it adds to the experience. (Totally SFW.) I worked from home today, and attended an excruciating conference call from 3:00–4:00 about our editing council’s … Read more
In general, I was up at “oh-dark-hundred” this morning and more specifically at oh-six-fifteen, in order to meet Kevin (av8rdude) at the gym at oh-seven-hundred. There, I’ve reached my quota for military time usage for the year—all in one day. It was Kevin’s bright idea to meet at 7:00 this morning, but he ended up arriving … Read more
I worked from home today. I met Kevin (av8rdude) at the gym to work out from 4:45-5:45. While exercising, I listened to the February 29th episode of This American Life entitled, “Human Resources”: The true story of little-known rooms in the New York City Board of Education building. Teachers are told to report there instead of … Read more
I logged in to work this morning, and did a quick 3-page edit. From 11:00–12:00, I connected in to the Tivoli Editors Council meeting, and “in the background” had a quick instant message discussion with the writer of that 3-page edit I had returned to him right before the call. He had questions about two … Read more
Earlier this week, I was reading a frivolous article on msn.com about bad wedding advice. This was one of the things in it: Bad Advice: “I was recently a bridesmaid in a friend’s wedding. I’m also engaged and was amazed when she told me I couldn’t wear my engagement ring during her wedding because it … Read more
I edited from home today. I’m in the midst of a 213-page book. Also, I participated in the first 5 minutes of the ITIM IDD Team Meeting, of which I’m the first thing on the agenda, and then bow out. Today’s entry might be awl about the food, which my days often are, though I … Read more
I edited from home today. Three short, banned IKEA commercials. (A minute-and-a-half total, and safe for work.) This from Manbites Dog’s distribution list, and as I said yesterday: Hello everyone! Haven’t seen DYING CITY yet? Here’s a description of what you’re missing: “Superb”… compelling… live theater at its best” – Orla Swift, News and Observer … Read more
