learning: cartography
Google Maps is rolling out new mapping applications. I’ve said it before, and I’m sure I’ll say it again. I’m a huge fan of maps. I loe when I can spend hours examining maps. I love seeing the evolution of maps of an area. I love trying to match up features of maps. I love
Too Much Computer
Ugh. By 8pm, I had had it. I had spend almost the entire day, save a trip to the store, on the computer. Not mindlessly web-surfing, mind you. Working, blogging, organizing, replying. Despite still having a long list of things that “have to get done”, I just can’t go on. The computers are going to
learning styles, wordpress and design
If you visit my blog (yes, this blog, but maybe you read via Google Reader or some other type feed reader) right now, you’ll notice it is a bit of a mess. A few months back, I decided it might be fun and useful to start learning more about WordPress. I have been experimenting with
frustrated, but trying to get past it
This weekend was a rare gem in which I had almost no pressing tasks to get done. I could finally embark on my “long term” to do list of “fun learning” challenges for myself. But it didn’t turn out to be so fun at first. I have this long range vision of mastering WordPress to
Gazoo in Time Lapse
I was quite surprised a few months ago when I realized that my digital SLR did not have any built-in functionality for time lapse photography. I still don’t undertand why not, but I do now have a little time lapse gadget, thanks to Rob. Today, I decided to try it out for the first time.
Meet Abby, My new AirBook
or, Why I love Apple. I’m sure she was thinking to herself while shaking her head, “I have to convince this woman to take a free computer? Is she nuts?” The tale doesn’t start out so nicely. In 17 months since I bought my first Mac, an AirBook, I had a love/hate relationship with her.
Crash and Burn
For the past two weeks, I’ve been working like crazy to pare down my massive “to do” list. By Friday, I felt that I had almost conquered it, so, with much happiness, booked a weekend at the beach for the family. We headed out Friday afternoon and had a wonderful time not doing anything —
photo friday: arranged
The Photo Friday challenge for last week was “Arranged”. This week’s challenge is “Aqua”.
Getting Support
I’m impressed. MySpace technical support rescued me from a self-induced problem. While it took them a while to get to it, they did manage to help me sort out the problem. (I’d argue that they should have a way of making sure the problem I created for myself doesn’t exist.) Now I’m having a minor
Spring Cleaning Microsoft Style
Straightening up my blogs and our impending move has inspired me to clean out other messes. If you know me well, you know I am not generally a clutterbug. I am allergic to most clutter…. However, we have some old laptops haning on for various purposes, and since they are so old and run NT,
