Today I dropped CSC 554 (Human-Computer Interaction) and added COM 487 (Internet & Society). At 4:30 today, I attended Internet & Society for the first time. … Read more

It looked rectangular, a little bit like the top part of a cigarette pack wrapper, perhaps. But, I knew it wasn’t, because I don’t smoke. I stretched my leg … Read more
I’ve collected up this year’s Christmas cards, and made sure they were all accounted for in my Palm Pilot. For each name and address in my address list, I have entries in the “Notes” section that look like this: 00 S,R; 01 SL,RL; 02 S,R; 03 SL; 04 SPC, R; 05 SL,R Where 00=2000, 01=2001, … Read more
