I met with Jason to discuss the segmenting and coding of his research data. I feel a lot more “on board” after the talk. We spent a little time afterwards talking about the class, and I asked him for some advice about talking to Susan about my “grade point average goals and objectives.” I found … Read more
I made arrangements to have Robert’s windshield replaced, and after talking to the Glass Doctor, finding out that they were totally booked for the day already, and that the cost would be $302, I hit GOOGLE for other glass replacement businesses. I called Triumph Auto Glass, and they were able to come in about an … Read more
I slept in this morning. Glorious. I was relieved to hear from Myra today, just in time for the information I needed for tonight’s STC Officer’s meeting. I spent most of the afternoon at Helios, where I got a bunch of STC work done: Prepared the agenda for tonight’s STC Officers Meeting, which includes the following … Read more
I went into the office today, and worked on an edit of Christie’s for a good part of the day. I had an unsatisfactory e-mail exchange with our “HR partner,” about this item on a security audit checklist enumerating things that are considered IBM Confidential: Sexual orientation and activity.

The thing that made this event a Luau was the decoration and dress theme (mostly of … Read more
Today was such a beautiful weather day. The NC State Organization Fair, where all of the student groups and organizations that exist on campus can advertise their group, was held on the Brickyard today. I took the Wolfline bus there, where I staffed an STC table, along with our Membership Manager, Michelle. As I mentioned, the … Read more
Every time someone tail gaits me, and eventually zips around me speeding into the foreground, I always try to make a note of their license place number, so that if I see a car that looks like theirs stopped up ahead by a cop when I pass it, I can have the extreme pleasure of … Read more
A Legal Lad podcast that I listened today was addressing the question: “From a legal perspective, who owns the baseball that Barry Bonds hit for his 756th home run?” Is it… Major League Baseball? They sponsored the event, purchased the ball for the game, and possessed the ball before the game. The San Francisco Giants? … Read more
I was up at 7:30 this morning, which on the one hand is very early for me on a Sunday. However, on the other hand (he wore a ring—ba-dump bump, I’m here all day folks), since I went to bed at 9:30 (after an hour of sleep on the couch) that was really 10 or … Read more
