in which I write about stuff
Oh, huh…little visual tweaks to the WordPress Android app on the tablet. Probably a long time ago. I just updated most of the software on here after procrastinating for months & months because I needed to remove C’s account and wasn’t sure if there’d be side effects. There weren’t any. Today I brought some potting [...]
In the time that I’ve been doing web design and development, I’ve worked in four organizations. Curiously, all of them have had primarily women employees, and the marketing departments that I’ve worked in have been overwhelmingly female. But all of them have had overwhelmingly male IT departments. United Way: about 30 employees, when I started [...]
So yesterday I was in a bit of a Twitter conversation with Greg Dunlap (“heyrocker” on Twitter, Drupal, and elsewhere), in which he said “welcome to higher education!” My reply was “you mean welcome back,” because when I first met him I was still at Pierce, although I’m not sure if he remembered that. But [...]
I really should write something about being back in higher ed in the context of the differences between Pierce and Evergreen. But first I have to think more deliberately about what those are. (This was brought to mind by a Twitter exchange prompted by a quote from a podcast.)
After spending a few days in a really bad place emotionally — wracked by anxiety & despair — it really helps to have a D&D game that goes well. (Said anxiety/depression being (mostly) unrelated to the game.) I could over-analyze it and beat up on myself for not getting exactly the right combination of foes [...]
It might be a trite observation, but I’m freshly noticing that life really does try to get a foothold pretty much everywhere.
An addendum to my previous writing about seasons…. I switched the weather app on my phone (Weatherbug, FWIW) from Fahrenheit to Celsius the other day. I expected to be surprised by the number: 8 degrees?! And that’s kinda mild? I don’t even. But expected. But I hadn’t thought much about each degree being “bigger”, so [...]
Oh the terror of the blank screen. I was doing so well with writing earlier, and now… I think I’m getting stuck on anxiety about my “audience,” and when writing about personal stuff, wondering who’s reading. I’ve probably exhausted the topic of the seasons for now. The fact that it was basically talking about the [...]
These are the seasons that I’m thinking of with longing… Pre-Summer – as I said in my previous post, I’m not sure of the exact boundary of Warm Spring and Pre-Summer, but it’s basically June and the beginning of July. There will be days like summer, sunny and 70s, but also quite a bit of [...]
As I muse over the distinction between Cold Spring and Warm Spring, I’m realizing that it’s been long enough that I’m not entirely sure of the difference — plus the last time those seasons came around I hadn’t really started on this little conceptual project. So I imagine I’ll want to do some revising in [...]
