  • I love my kids

    This may seem like an obvious statement coming from a mom, but it’s not something I say out loud that often, except to Mr. Geeky. I tell my kids I love them all the time too. But not anyone else. It’s like it’s our little secret, the love we have. A friend once told me…

  • Vacation is hard work

    No, I’m not channeling W. I’m feeling very tired. For no good reason. Yes, I’ve been working on my proposal and doing a little grading and a little tidying up. But I’ve mostly been lying around on the couch. I haven’t been exercising. I’m thinking about doing that today or tomorrow. I’m really not looking…

    Inside Higher Ed :: Technology as a Liberal Art I’ve gone and spouted off in a legitimate forum. Please consider donating to my efforts in the Susan G. Komen 3-Day Walk for the Cure

  • Video game regulations

    Congress and videogames: A bad mix – Glenn Reynolds – MSNBC.com Ever since I saw some congresspeople on a PBS show years ago talking with William F. Buckley about the need to regulate computers, I’ve been pretty much against it. My main reason for being against it isn’t a legal one, though there are certainly…

  • Geeks are sexy

    Wired News: 2005’s 10 Sexiest Geeks Well, of course, I’d like this list. There are quite a few bloggers on the list, scientists, and even a judge. Please consider donating to my efforts in the Susan G. Komen 3-Day Walk for the Cure

  • Why I shouldn’t have caffeine before bed

    For an hour or two, I wrote things in my head–this post, my proposal, my annual review, a proposal I’m working on for work. Then I thought about things I need to do and how I need a better off loading system. Do I remember any of it? No. Thank FSM for coffee. I’m going…

  • Resolutions

    Geeky Mom: I’m off The link above is to my list of resolutions from last year. I accomplished one of them completely, part of another and the other in a very limited way. I’m thinking about my resolutions for this year. Anyone else? Please consider donating to my efforts in the Susan G. Komen 3-Day…

  • Excursion

    We ventured out of the house today. Shocking, but true. Everything was actually fairly quiet. We had breakfast out, got some necessities, including food and drink, and then back home again. We’re planning another excursion later in the day. I think that’s one thing I like about the holidays–not having to go anywhere if you…

  • Chaos taming begun

    Well, the house is still a mess, but I’ve managed to get some work done. I wrote another paragraph or two on the proposal. I edited an essay. I checked work email (almost all junk). I graded two portfolios (two a day and I’m done!). I am about to embark on a new writing project…

  • Pictures finally up!

    IMG_0809, originally uploaded by lorda. I’ve finally gotten the pictures up. Here’s us at Christmas Eve dinner. The kids dressed up of their own accord after they saw the table set. It was pretty cute. I think we had just enough food this year, not much left over. It was all pretty simple–peas, mashed potatoes,…
