    Skeptical of Digital Humanities

    Okay, I’m just going to throw this out there. I’m ambivalent about digital humanities. I know what you’re thinking–that as a technologist and a humanist, I’m the last person on earth who should be skeptical about such things. But the more I read in blogs and elsewhere, the more kind of creeped out I get.…

    Not really working yet

    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…

    Headaches gone for now

    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…

  • Eventful night

    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…

  • Friday Cat Blogging: What are you looking at?

    What are you looking at?, originally uploaded by lorda. I’m going to actually try to stay off the computer today. I have had a headache basically all week. It’s completely annoying. And yes, I’m going to have it looked at. I know Friday cat blogging is old skool, but it’s a nice way to end…

    Why Productivity is Bad (Sometimes)

    A couple of months ago, I pretty much quit looking at my to-do list. I quit putting new things on it and I just kind of went with the flow. Although I still think the GTD system that I used has some really good points, I think there are a lot of aspects to the…

    Line of Voters 6:55 am Originally uploaded by lorda. This was the line at 6:55 a.m. yesterday morning. It was like this until 9:00 a.m. People brought books and newspapers, prepared to wait it out. We had a steady stream with at least 10 people in line until after noon. By 2:00, we realized about…

  • Today is the day

    Everything could change. If Obama wins, my biggest hope is that Obama can truly bring the country together. I really do think that I have a lot in common with my Republican neighbors. It’s really a rare few that I disagree with completely. I want for the disagreements I may have to be minor, inconsequential.…
