One thing led to another, yada yada yada, and I ended up at this amazing web site which has spectacular photographs. There is something about photographing the simple things in life that I absolutely love…I am not sure how to explain it, but this photographer captures some wonderful emotion with his focus on simple (or […]
Back in my Penn State days, I took a lot of American history classes (since that was my major) and I found I had similar interests to a new TA, Meredith Lair. She was one of my TAs for History 3 (The American Nation: Historical Perspectives) , and History 173 (Vietnamin War and Peace) and […]
After a confusing day filled with follies of all sorts…I have to ask someone (because my answer is biased): do standards (both technical and personal) and hard work really matter? The day started off by me losing the last spot in my normal train parking lot to someone that I waved in front of me […]
Well I got the call last night. One of my good friends (Ben you know who) called to tell me she is getting married in October…and that I am going to be a bridesmaid. (Yes, Doug you can have a picture). So today, I am officially start my training for Operation Sarah Connor: get fit. […]
Not often do I even bookmark a non-technical web site, but I have found one I am going to add to my bookmarks. (Yes I am a Netscape girl, no “favorites” on my system.) If you have some time and want to enjoy some light reading about American Folklore, check out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_folklore. I will never […]
The county tax office, when the deadline for taxes is a few days away, is like the DMV on a good day. Tons of people, no organization, and weird smells. As I was filling out the paperwork for my exemption, a woman sat down next to me. You know the type…no sense of personal space […]
After talking to one of my more resourceful co-workers, I found out that our county offers a nice tax exemption for home owners…but you need to sign up to get this tax break…in person at the county tax office. I am not sure how common this is around the country, but it is definitely something […]
Well, I had the pleasure of witnessing my friend’s first hole in one on Sunday November 31, 2004. Congratulations Doug! On another note, check this out: http://www.toysoft.ca/fakecall.html. Perhaps a good investiment for me since I seem to attact interesting people.
OK, so how many times have we all heard this: “I have so many user names and passwords, there is no way I can possibly remember all of them.” The solution (and no it is not to write them down)…remember your user names and passwords. How? Make up a user name/password scheme. How? I have […]
I had the honor of going to the Penn State v. Wisconsin game last weekend in Madison, Wisconsin. After going to to the game, experiencing the crowd, and the listening to the media…all trying to blame you, I just wanted to write to you and tell you how much of an inspiration you have been […]
To the annoying girl on the 523 train that got off at Des Plaines stop after talking the entire non-express train trip…I have something for you….a F*&$)ing clue: everyone on the train does not care about the horrible day you had. As you talked about how nervous you were at work and how you started […]
Is it me or does anyone else wonder why every time we see President Bush, even while rhe was running for office in 1999, that he always wore and still wears the same color tie? You know the one…the light blue color. Who is the brain power behind this decision? Now, every once and awhile […]
