Strep, not Stress

Laura went to the doctor today and we found out she has strep, so now the entire family is on antibiotics.

Today at work a colleague from upstairs used Facebook to notify me that someone would be able to meet tomorrow as we had hoped. Brilliant! Now that Facebook is a legitimate form of business communication, we can keep it open at work all the time.

Being at Home on a Workday

There's nothing quite so satisfying as having to stay home with a sick child (although truth be told she seems to be feeling better) and not being able to get any work done because WebDAV (a complicated means of updating a website) is not working between here and UTC. Sure, there's a lot of work I should be doing, but since I can't access the files, I am honestly off the hook and just might have to claim this as a sick day.

It's a bad day to be sick (or not sick and in the office) because the sky is a perfect blue and it may just hit 70 degrees today. Winter, I think, is over.

Still Playing Around with Blogs

I first read the word "blog" in an article in PC Magazine by John Dvorak around 1998. Ten years have passed--a long ten years, making me at least thirty years older. So now we've got Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, MySpace, all this craziness in an attempt to stay connected with ourselves and our world.

How did we get here? Who are we?

Testing Add Photos

Just playing around with Picasa and its ability to add photos.

Beating Lockdown Browser?

Am I beating the system?  I managed to activate blogger from within Respondus Lockdown browser.

Beating Lockdown Browser

Google search didn't work immediately but I am getting to my blog even though I'm inside the Lockdown Browser (but see the comment because this is irrelevant).

Trouble Sleeping

Woke up last night at 2:00 AM and had a feeling of panic.
