Geek Dress Code? Really?

Jeri posted a question about Geek Women & Clothing, and my first thought was, “are you kidding me?” Jeri’s questions were raised by this essay on Clothes & Geek Feminism, which addresses the question in a slightly different manner, but still, it bothers me. I am who I am. I dress in a manner that makes me [...]

Progress

These are the graphs from the software that comes with my pedometer. Orange is aerobic steps, orange and blue (or just blue if there was no aerobic) shows the total steps for that day. Hooray for progress! Here’s May. (Note that this chart also shows that I was having a hard time with my depression, and skipping [...]

Truth Is Just as Strange as Fiction

If you haven’t already seen it, go read today’s Non Sequitur comic. Got it? Now read this news article I came across this morning. No, I didn’t watch the video. I just couldn’t bring myself to do it.

Musings on Facebook

I’ve been watching the uproar over Facebook with a fair amount of bemusement. Yes, I am on Facebook and have been there for awhile, however, from the beginning I have been careful what information I placed there. If you could find it by doing a public search of my name, I was OK placing on Facebook, [...]

Michelle: (holds up drawer) Is everything in here useful? Michael: YES! Michelle: Do we really need five power cables? Michael: (silence) Michelle: Why do we need five power cables? Michael: I’m THINKING!

New Scanner

Finally got a new scanner! Last scanner was purchased in August of 2000, so I figure that we got our money’s worth from it. I was surprised that the two scanners are quite similar in size. (Kat is added for comparison) Anyone interested in a used scanner? Still works fine–and has drivers for Windows ME! (but not Vista [...]

What Could This Be?

Why it looks like a blog! (blows dust off top of bookcase) Looks like someone has been neglecting the place. As the physical house is getting cleaned today, the likelihood of anything more entertaining appearing here is quite low. But you’re more than welcome to make yourself comfortable in the interim. Plenty of cookies and legal beverages. Have [...]

HA! Take THAT MySQL!

I’ve learned something new! MUAHAHAHA! I’ve modified the search resultsof my library database search so that for most search results, you can sort the results by clicking on the heading. If you aren’t a geek, you’ll want to go and play with the search, rather than read than read the code bits that follow. I got that using [...]

Why Do I Think This Will Go Horribly Wrong?

By the year 2020, you won’t need a keyboard and mouse to control your computer, say Intel Corp. researchers. Instead, users will open documents and surf the Web using nothing more than their brain waves. Scientists at Intel’s research lab in Pittsburgh are working to find ways to read and harness human brain waves so [...]

Because I Am a Geek

Exciting Weekend!

Well, exciting and expensive. Saturday we got a new range. 30″ Kenmore Elite Range (white). Michael researched everything in our price range, and this was the top rated stove we could afford. It’s got five burners, five racks, and convection. Even better, we got it 12 months same as cash. (Here’s not never paying interest!) It’s to be [...]
