I was up at about 8:30, as we got a decent night’s sleep. I knew it was Superbowl Sunday, and both Robert and I knew that the Pittsburgh Steelers were playing in it. Neither of us, however, knew who the other team was that was in it. I googled it, and I said incredulously, “The … Read more
I spent most of my work day today working on a redesigned Web page for OIT Units. Observation: TinyMCE sucks. I exported my Palm Pilot calendar and then imported it into Google. I want to stop having to sync the two, so now that it’s imported into Google, I hope to just maintain my calendar … Read more
Due to disconcerting news items such as these, in which, sadly, the “free expression tunnel incident” in my very own university is referenced: Obama election spurs race crimes around country After Obama’s win, white backlash festers in US N.C. State is sponsoring this, which I plan to attend: If anyone reading this wants to attend … Read more
I kept a low profile today, resting my knee as much as possible. Tonight was our big fundraiser at Manbites Dog Theater, and as a board member, I dutifully arrived at 6:30 as instructed. Gregor has donated 100 long-sleeved black t-shirt with the Manbites Dog logo on them and they look stellar! Most of the … Read more
Kevin (av8rdude) and I met at the gym at 7:30 today, as he left the country for three weeks this afternoon and needed to get his workout in early. The only thing worse to me than working out that early in the morning, is working out that early in the morning when it’s not “Free … Read more
I was up and at ’em at 7:30 this morning, after a full eight hours sleep. Yay! I met Kevin (av8rdude) at the gym at 9:30. Today was an all-cardio day for me, and I only did 45 minutes instead of 60 to allow some time for a bagel on the way home. Kevin had … Read more
I worked from home today. For lunch, I decided to get daring with my one leftover grilled fish fillet from yesterday’s lunch and made a fish taco with it. It was surprisingly better than I’d anticipated it would be. Yay! Ric Weiland, left, and Bill Gates at the Microsoft table during the 1976 National Computer … Read more
Hope you had a great day “filled with fun-packed awesomeness like a party!” You remember Grace? She was the subject of this blog entry—now attending a (Quaker) school in which she’s thriving instead of being bullied just because she doesn’t conform to society’s idea of what a girl should look like. They recently had “Curriculum … Read more
Clyde arrived at 5:40AM, and we were on the road to Greenville five minutes ahead of schedule. We met Vivian at the McDonald’s on 10th street, followed her to her office, where we picked up some audio-visual equipment, and then headed over to the building where we were presenting. She had a cart with her, … Read more
This is quite interesting and quite the endeavor: The Picture of Everything. Try the “Character Key,” by clicking over a portion of the picture and then hovering over the results of that. I met with Clyde and my sister today to finalize our 2007 NC Teaching Fellow Junior Conference presentation called, “Are you IN or … Read more
