1st Storm of the Season(?)
Good-bye fair weather, you were wonderful. My opened windows will miss you and your cool breezy ways, for our old musty friend, the afternoon showers seems to be making it’s noisy, moist return.
Broke Bookends
Remember how impressed I was last time when I was using online research tools? Yeah, in the meantime I’ve run headlong into a less than amazing experience. I went so far as to pay for the upgrade of my copy of Bookends, only to get weird error messages when it can’t read PDFs and doesn’t …
Mother of All Funk Chords – Kutiman YouTube Remix
I know something is up when I get a link to the same artist from several completely different sources in one day. Earlier today fellow web-voyager, Linda, sent me a link with the subject line: “Interesting music videos.” Ah, understatement. I loaded the video off of the artists’ site and thought something was wrong ’cause …
Papers – Resigning LBUSD
I got my papers a few weeks back & finally turned them in. sad [Sound of a door closing behind me]
I Want One: Apple NetBook Rumors
Gizmodo published a mock-up of the proposed Apple Macintosh NetBook (the story was picked up by CNET and engadget). I was really close to purchasing a Kindle2 over the past weekend, but in view of rumors of an end of March Apple event I’m keeping my credit card in my wallet. An Apple source said …

I also started writing because that’s what my best-friend, …
Almost Painless RSS
I live in my email app and my browser, but don’t expect me to visit your site everyday just to check to see if you have new info. One of the reasons I like Twitter and spend more time on Facebook is because they come to me and tell me when new content is posted. …
Zotero & RefWorks: Damn Web-Based Apps that Work
I’ve been going at it all day, one tutorial after another, pausing to answer student queries online and then moving on to the next item in the EBSCO/ERIC search. I’ve been experimenting with Zotero and RefWorks and my mind has been continually amazed that I can so easily import library citations (with full articles) so …
Nephew Dan w/ Decrepit Birth on Tour
I was bitching last week about feeling like the only one I knew using the ‘Net to connect with family, so my sister surprised me this morning with this amazing photo of my nephew, Danny, on stage playing with his band. It’s a friggin’ awesome photo. Now that’s what I’m talking about, as far as …
