My Latest Battle With Technology

I like to think I get along with technology. I named my laptop Lady Ti, my iPod Podkins. I’m the kind of person you go to when there is a computer problem – only for it to disappear when I arrive. A disturbing incident happened the other day. I was at Home Depot, signing the […]

The “Who the heck do you think you are?” Blogger Quiz

Frank J. has asked his blogging readers to identify ourselves, so the liberals can send the paddy-wagon to pick us up. I weighed the pros and cons, and figure I could use an excuse to get out of class early. 1. Who the heck do you think you are? Me? Yes, you. Ah, well. No […]

In My Tree Time

Heh. Bad pun, eh? If you notice, this is filed under the category “Things.” Appropriate, if for no other reason than why I created the category. Throughout my life, I was obsessed with making “things.” I don’t know why, I just like making them. Things are defined as: Noun. Anything made by me. Usually made […]

I’m Pre-Approved

Wow: Hindrocket at Power Line blog writes: Michelle Malkin is all over the story. Michelle has what it takes to be a great blogger: she suffers from obsessive compulsive disorder. And I mean that as the highest possible praise. I suppose that means I already have a head start! For all those of you who […]

Flowers in a Green Vase

Not much more to say, been studying for a horrible math exam. Canon 20D Canon 20D I’ve been seriously hoping that we have a huge ice storm, the entire city of Ann Arbor loses power, and it take 3 days to get everything back in shape. Oh, don’t get me wrong. There could be bouts […]

The Watches in My Life

Sigh. This is sort of embarrassing, sort of pathetic. At some point in the past, I decided I needed a companion watch for my pocketwatch. There were times when I was wearing a pair of pants that didn’t have the extra little pocket to hold it safely. So, I set out on a journey to […]

Test

I’m doomed, doomed I say! I have an impending test in 2 hours and 26 minutes (+/- 5 minutes) had a test. Agggg. I keep getting the feeling like I’m being led to my own execution… All rise, as the honorable Judge hands down his sentence: Judge: You have been sentenced to death by paper! […]

Post-A-Day? I’m trying…

with a loaded school/work schedule, not having yet-implemented some sort of picture gallery (I’m still searching* for a good one!), and all of my photos in a mess, I’m trying to make at least one post a day, whether it is a picture, cheesy parody, or ill writtten satire. Sigh. Canon 20D + Bellows But […]

Students: Do they EVER get stuff done?

I often ask myself this question, wondering how effective, say, 20 undergrads would be versus one janitor – changing a lightbulb. Not to shed bad light on undergrads, I’m one as it is, but one incident struck me as the power, or lack thereof, of a collective body of students. Now, I need to make […]

Xbox 180?

Don’t know. I found this graphic on Engadget, but it appears they replaced it with a newer, slightly LESS appropriate image. Odd. Basically, Microsoft thought it wise to name the new Xbox as Xbox 360… however, I thought it was a stupid name, and if they had only named it Xbox 180 it would have […]
