Post trip and in the throes of a new school year, I have thoughts, but no time to put them down, so here’s some stuff of interest: Another one of those teacher bans some basic web technology stories. “The Wife Factor.” Not sure whether to be offended. Leaning toward being offended. A blog post about…
I just finished up my part of a panel with Tim and Kathleen and am now sitting in a session being started off by a couple of my Haverford colleagues. The topic of scholarship and digital media or web 2.0 is one I’m particularly interested in; however, I often feel that I can’t say anything…
Day 10: Haircut self portraitOriginally uploaded by lorda. I took some time to pamper myself and got a haircut. I’m pretty happy with it and it was a nice break. Please consider donating to my efforts in the Susan G. Komen 3-Day Walk for the Cure
I’ve left my power cord at home. This may be my last dispatch for a while. Either that, or I’ll be headed to a computer store first thing when I arrive. Update: thanks to KF, I now have power. Please consider donating to my efforts in the Susan G. Komen 3-Day Walk for the Cure

Then, the authors were writing about a successful female computer scientist/businesswoman, explaining her accomplishments and how much…

I know today is the Iowa caucus, and I know who the candidates are on both sides, but for me, it doesn’t really matter. Our primary is in May, too late to have any real influence (usually) on the outcome. So the rest of the country gets to decide who the democrats are running for…
I can relate to this article on how boys have trouble getting organized and how it affects their school work. My organization struggles are not something that truly interfere with my daily life. I find it annoying, yes. I know I could be more efficient, yes, but I function just fine. Geeky Boy, on the…
