in which I write about stuff
tired and uninspired. suddenly reminded, on this rainy day, of all the things I probably should’ve done yesterday, when it was nice out. although I did wash a few of the windows, and isn’t it lovely to look out of a perfectly clear window onto…the rain? and our trees are the kind that don’t do [...]
someone in my department had a birthday earlier this week, so we went out to lunch. she had suggested the East-West Cafe in Tacoma. the last time I went was in the summer of 1996, before I met C. WP took me there for a date, the only time we actually went out anywhere during [...]
doing a bit of tweaking: added a new home page header (sunflower!) and a link to The Kitchen, plus a new album of pictures from Rochester. I have more, of course, but it’s taking me time to work through them.
Piko and Sasha (then, later, Maddy) kept waking me up, and I had a strange dream which has faded down to a mere outline, but which still disturbs me.

Summaries and recommendations coming later this week. # I’m working on a few things for “The Kitchen” and the Weblogger Wikipedia, Shelley’s two-week blogging clinic and ongoing webloggers’ resource. This could be really interesting for anyone interested in [...]

(mention international laws.) * what to ask/look for re: accessibility in working with a web designer (beyond Bobby) * how to learn more (Joe Clark is DA MAN!) intro to [...]
I think I just realized that I can’t design on the laptop. I can program, surf, and write, but I can’t design. So at some point I need to kick C off of the shuttle so I can work on two projects for him and one for me. then again, it would help if I [...]
a link to the full listing of all my conference notes, with some additional info.
I’m in the hotel lobby, doing one last sweep of both email & blogs, and at the same time listening to KUOW. (local news from thousands of miles away!) a bit of a headache this morning, not sure of the origin, but I’ll probably remedy it with some caffeine once we get going. (strange: the [...]
