I was surprised to see where North Carolina stood on this map. Where (and How) Evolution is Taught in the U.S. Click on the map to read more about it if you’re interested. I worked from home today, editing Christie’s Manage Services User Interface context-sensitive help. I canceled my 1-on-1 meeting with my manager. Class … Read more
This is way cool: The Future of Computer Interfaces? I set my alarm for 10:00 today, but woke up, and got up, at 9:00. After a hard-boiled egg and a banana, along with some some coffee for breakfast, I spent a couple of hours finishing the update to my ENG 675 defense presentation. I’m much … Read more
From a GLBT discussion forum I subscribe to: reflections on some postings about recognizing our relationships … “…and this is April’s friend, Dorothy.” April’s other grandmother died… “other grandmother” meaning not the paternal grandmother who lives with us, but her mother’s mother.

Clouds.” “Intellectually, of course, I know that it did rise, … Read more
I’m in some kind of major funk today. It’s not pleasant or even comfortable, so I won’t be in it for long. I got caught up with my ex-wife today, and she told me that her house sold on the first day she listed it, to the first people who looked at it. I did … Read more
Some of these profiles on some of the web sites slay me. This guy’s made me guffaw at the end, where he has the audacity to tell people not to stereotype him, when he stereotypes (indicated in red) the entire way through his profile. I live in Indy, but based in Houston. I will be … Read more
I added a new feed on my friend’s page to a blog called Indexed. I think Jessica has got a cool thing going on here. This is what she says about her blog: “This site is a little project that lets me make fun of some things and sense of others. I use it to think a … Read more
