As I was driving my son to school this morning, I heard that 82% of the people who’ve lost jobs are men. This is because many of the jobs that have been lost are in traditionally male occupations such as construction and manufacturing. I’ve seen around the online magazines and blogs commentary about how the…
So, I’m trying it again this year–taking a photo every day. I missed a day when I was sick, but my Flickr buds have forgiven me. Here’s January’s photos: Please consider donating to my efforts in the Susan G. Komen 3-Day Walk for the Cure
Via Laura at 11D, I found these two articles about managing the household load and how angry many mothers are that men seem to not take on their fair share. Given that this conversation is quite fresh in our household as my work is morphing–changing daily, we’re both starting to realize–these were timely articles. And…
I agree with Alex Golub’s stance in his IHE piece on Facebook. As he argues, the lack of granularity in friend settings creates a situation where you either cloister yourself or you don’t. It’s a very different world than the one we actually live in, where you have people that you work with and would…
I was thinking this morning that I wasn’t doing so well on my resolutions. It’s true I’ve slipped a little here and there, but it’s not as bad as I thought. One thing I didn’t resolve to do was exercise, but now I’m rethinking that. But I really do hate exercise for exercise’s sake. While…
I don’t think I’ve been so glad to see a Friday come around in a long time. This has been a rough week in Geeky land. Everyone was sick. I, too, got a cold and sore throat. I was so grateful not to have stomach issues like Mr. Geeky and Geeky Boy that it seemed…
So, Saturday evening, really early Sunday morning, Geeky Girl woke up puking. Mr. Geeky got up and took care of her for the most part, though there was a point where the situation required two people. We chalked it up to some bad chicken and we all felt a little queasy on Sunday, but Geeky…
Blackboard, 9.0 :: Inside Higher Ed :: Higher Education’s Source for News, Views and Jobs IHE describes the launch of the new version of Blackboard as including Web 2.0 and social learning tools. I’ve only seen the company video showcasing the new Blackboard. So, it may not be fair to comment at this point, but…
I think the most profound difference between my life now and my life while I was working full time is the pacing. I’m still putting in roughly the same number of hours as I was before, but the pacing of those hours is quite different. I’m able to work early in the morning, break for…
Sunday, I flipped back and forth between the Eagles game and the concert for Obama. I’ll admit to getting choked up watching Pete Seeger sing “This Land is your Land.” And I also got a kick out of seeing Garth Brooks sing “Shout.” I would actually love to be on the mall today to be…
