I was waiting for some comments to come in before I wrote about this article on online courses from IHE. Sure enough, the curmudgeons were first to the punch, noting that online courses vary in quality and gosh, what about cheating. Thankfully, reasonable people pointed out that F2F courses vary in quality and gosh, students…
Last night, the kids and I watched our usual roundup of Sunday night tv: King of the Hill, Simpsons, Family Guy. We started with this clever episode of King of the Hill on MySpace. I thought it captured the pros and cons of social networking quite well. A couple of my favorite moments: Donna: You…
I kept meaning to blog yesterday, but it was an actual busy day. I went to see another ear doctor in the morning to find a solution to my vertigo. It’s so awesome when you have a doctor listen to you and tell you what she’s thinking in terms of a diagnosis and treat you…
I finally got around to reading this Salon article on Michelle Obama’s slide from professional working woman to traditional First Lady/Mom. I’ve seen this happen to so many women in my life, including myself to a large extent, that it’s a familiar story. And I can’t decide if it’s a sad story or not. I…
A goofy thing I made–pretty fun little tool: Please consider donating to my efforts in the Susan G. Komen 3-Day Walk for the Cure
Okay, I’m just going to throw this out there. I’m ambivalent about digital humanities.

But the more I read in blogs and elsewhere, the more kind of creeped out I get.…
So, I’m not really doing anything one might categorize as “work” yet. Which is okay since I hadn’t planned on doing anything in that category until say, December-ish. I am reading. I hope to start doing some writing next week. Mostly I’m trying to get my health back and my house into maintenance mode (rather…
Not that I want to turn this into a health blog, but just FYI, the headaches have gone for now. I did spend the entire afternoon watching “Mystery Diagnosis” and there were several episodes dealing with headaches. The causes ran the gamut from tumors to hormonal imbalance. Yuck. I’m hoping to get a walk in…
. . . is probably not the best show to watch when suffering from mysterious symptoms. Please consider donating to my efforts in the Susan G. Komen 3-Day Walk for the Cure
Our little neighborhood is usually all in bed by 10 p.m. Very few things happen. We’ve had a small house fire, a suspected Lexus ring, and a couple of high-school parties, but nothing more exciting than that. Last night, we were awakened at 3:00 a.m. to a horn honking, constant, like someone had fallen on…
