1. Baby Milestone chart: 1 to 6 months (By 6 months, apparently, baby Harry should be able to imitate sounds. I foresee *lots* of word spammage from this ability.) 2. wikipedia: advent calendar “The origins of the Advent calendar come from German Lutherans who, at least as early as the beginning of the 19th century, […]
I never considered the mac touchpad to be a security feature — until I tried to use someone else’s computer. “how do I click?” “how do I scroll?” “HOW HAVE YOU MANAGED TO CONFIGURE YOUR TOUCHPAD TO UTTERLY CONFOUND ME???” I’m seriously considering going to go back to saying I don’t have a mac, just […]
Oh, university towns. ILU. Road work actually brings changes (unlike the town where I work, where they just keep ripping up and repaving the same section of road over and over again for no apparent reason), but they are stupid, stupid changes. OLD PLAN Reduce speeding by having the road be in terrible condition. (Benefits: […]
Scrivener is offering a free NaNoWriMo 2010 Special Trial Edition (for Mac and Windows). It’s downloadable now, and will stay active until December 7, at which point you’ll either have to buy it or export your files to another program.

(::shakes fist at job::) I took this job because I wanted something where I just had to show up on time, do the […]
I’m not sure there’s anyone who hasn’t heard about the ‘It Gets Better’ project (although it was news to me that President Obama made one — Spoiler Alert: he does *not* come out or admit to being in love with Rahm Emanuel, despite what the fanfics say). I saw Brad’s ‘It Gets Better when?’ video […]
Today my headache has morphed into the kind where you feel mostly okay as long as you sit quietly with your eyes mostly unfocused staring straight ahead. Sadly, my job is not one where sitting quietly with my eyes unfocused is considered “working.” Trying to track when I turn my head from side to side […]
So many stairs in my dream! And an elevator, which is unusual. But the “takes the cake” moment for last night was this: I have a sleeping bag tucked under my blankets for extra warmth, and it’s one of those mummy bags, so that even when it’s all the way unzipped there’s still a pocket […]
“So what are you going to be for Halloween this year?” “I’m going as a peanut allergy.” -Kurt, Britney “I have no idea what’s going on in this script, and it’s not in a cool ‘Inception’ sort of way.” -Finn “We’re guys, when did we have to start worrying about this?” “I blame Internet porn.” […]
