Because I get to have conversations with people like this. We’re in the middle of this Writing in the Quantitative Disciplines workshop, which is absolutely fascinating–from a technology standpoint, from an ethnographic standpoint, from a pedagogical standpoint–just fascinating. One of my favorite moments came at the reception when Bryan and I began talking about tagging.…

Happy Birthday Geeky Girl! I hope you enjoy six as much as you seemed to have enjoyed five. Even though it may drive us crazy sometimes, I hope you keep talking and telling us stories. Just pause every once in a while to breathe and listen to what others have to say. Please consider donating…

A while back over at Jody’s place, she was talking about refilling her cup and the possibility that it has a crack in it and that it’s impossible to fill. I’m feeling much the same way lately. When I first took this job, it filled my cup. It was interesting work. The people were interesting.…

I was turned off by the article in the NY Times on religion and class, so I hadn’t checked in in a while to read the series. Today’s article, though, struck a chord with me. It’s also worth reading the companion shorter article on taxes and how they benefit the extremely wealthy. The article focuses…

Mr. Geeky and I don’t do well when both of us are stressed at the same time. With his tenure packet due in a week and me teaching 9-5, followed by a grant-funded workshop next week, we are both a little tense. I’m basically trying to keep my regular work up early in the morning…

This week’s chronicle brings an interesting article by an English professor who actually likes technology. He actually touches on nearly every aspect of my job and I’m e-mailing the article to nearly everyone I work with. First, he discusses the importance of a professional and up-to-date web site for departments. The summer multimedia program usually…

I’m nearing the one-year mark in this blog. My first post was about finishing the week of training that I’m in the middle of right now. I switched to posting on my professional blog (now on hiatus) for a bit and then in late August/early September really began keeping up with both of them in…

only two pages so far See more progress on: write 500 pages So this kind of works. If I just edit the pages down as I write them, it can kind of be a countdown. This was an automated post whenever you put an entry in so that was kind of cool. We’ll see how…
