I have been published again on onesentence.org! A friend sent me a link to this story about the Top 11 Geek T-Shirts. My favorite is the very last one: which actually lights up when you’re in the range of a wireless network! Love it, love it, love it. Another snap, snap, snap from Prudie: Hi … Read more
I know my body is screaming, “What in the hell is going on?” After traveling for 20 hours, and getting to sleep in its own bed, for a glorious 10 hours, it thought it was back on track. And then what do I go and do? Pull an all-nighter. I was awake the entire night, … Read more
Those of you who know me know I love puns, particularly complex puns. Here’s a goody: A frog hops inside a Chinese bank and reads the name of the teller, Patricia Wak. Strange name, thinks the frog. Strange customer, thinks the teller. ‘Can I help you?’ she asks. ‘Yes, Miss Wak,’ he says. ‘I’d like … Read more
I slept in this morning in honor of the official start of my vacation. Glorious. I wrote a short article about onesentence.org for the STC newsletter and sent it to John as a potential filler (i.e., if he needs one) article for the October edition, or it can be used in the January edition instead—if … Read more
Praise the &deity! I have finally had an entry published on onesentence.org. I edited my heart out today to finish an IBM commitment before starting vacation tomorrow. I had about an hour to kill before leaving for class, so I wrote my “President’s Pen” article for the October edition of the STC newsletter, which was a … Read more
I’m not quite sure if the tone of this posting of mine meshes with the tone that the professor envisioned the postings would have when she decided to use an electronic discussion board for our class, but making the things that I do fun is an immutable part of my being. And that applies to … Read more
Who knew? An article in praise of my profession. I spent ten hours on Rhetoric of Science and Technology homework “accommodating” the article Facilitating Social Networking in Inner-City Neighborhoods for the 2008 International Real Estate Research Symposium in Malaysia. It’s still not done. We got to dancing at close to 8:30 to find only one … 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
I had an über-productive day today, but had to prioritize school work over work work. I will have to make up for that some how this weekend, but it’s going to be a challenge with our first paper for Rhetoric of Science and Technology class due on Monday, and three grueling reading assignments, for which … Read more
I had a busy, productive day. Once again, I went into the office at IBM. I’ve almost shot my wad for the month. I usually only actually go into the office 2 or 3 times a month, and here it is only the second day in October and I’ve gone in twice. The main reason … Read more
