Remember this post? Well, I think this speaks for itself: Oh, the fact that you can see this means that I cleaned up enough of my desk to hook the scanner back up–while this doesn’t mean anything to you, it’s significant to me, at least archaeologically. We won’t speak about the other piece of government paper that I got this… Read more →
Month: August 2007
You go, Rakusin!
I love books. As I write this I am literally surrounded by them. Every wall, floor to ceiling. I have friends who write books. I have other friends who are just as nutty about books as I am. I read a lot of blogs and other sources of information about authors, publishers, etc. Consequently, I have spent a decent amount… Read more →
The Day The Bulls Won
I meant to mention this last month, and then things got out of hand. So, you know the “running of the bulls” in Pamplona? I don’t get it, but then there’s a lot of that Hemmingwayesque butch stuff that I don’t get. Knowing that “Injuries are common, both to the participants who may be gored or trampled, and to the… Read more →
I like Sherlock Holmes.
I don’t think it ever occurred to me that Arthur Conan Doyle‘s lifespan had convergence with the period in which film, particularly film with audio, was a common technology.

Mixing It Up 5: Minksellaneous

They’re all appropriate in some way, but they don’t fit nicely into themes as… Read more →
I am an information junkie
I just read through the 600+ posts that my RSS Reader had stored up for me in the “High Interest” category while I was working too hard over the last several weeks. I had occasionally popped into the reader and read some of what might be called the informal “Very High Interest” subset (I really should formalize that), but still… Read more →
I think the madness is over…
…or at least I am past the peak of it. The last three weeks of insanely intense work, with days getting longer as the week progressed–in the last 10 days I have been working almost all of my waking hours, including weekends, and I have seen the sunrise from my desk on three different occasions–were frankly brutal. I think I’ve… Read more →
