Online Angst-o-rama
It seems like entropy passes through in waves. I think “things come in threes” is a version of that observation, because it’s hardly ever things coming TOGETHER in threes, one after the other. In the world of mechanics and data,…

The Answer is Blowing in the Wind
It was exactly the kind of morning I dread: no traction, no resolution in sight, damned if I do or if I don’t. The issue, to upgrade my internet security / antivirus software (PC-Cillin 2007) before the deadline a week…
Phoenix: Fragments from the Ashes. Or Not
I’m going to have to do something drastic–not to mention half-informed–to be able to make changes to the sidebar again. One day last week, comments disappeared, only for a single post. To get it back, I hit republish (my blog…
Summer Stock. Woodstock. Photo Stock
What do I know about image sales? Not nearly as much as I hope to after a few months growing a portfolio over at Lucky Oliver. What! You never heard of LO? Swing over and take a look, including a…
Blunt Trauma
The sickening blow came suddenly, without warning, just the way that accidental injuries always happen. One second, parts are intact, working normally, and we take them for granted. The next, we wonder what we could have done to have avoided…
Bodies Fit for Work
I have a compliant patient! Can you believe that? On her first visit, we addressed the obvious observable issue of posture (forward shoulders forward head) and its role in her presenting complaint of upper back pain. We talked about her…
Going, Going. GoogleGone!
I thought I’d jump in here and post something quickly–before the Google empire decides to disappear again. First thing this morning, I could get anyplace on the web EXCEPT if it was owned by Google. No Gmail. No Blogger. No…
The Right Stuff
I’m eternally searching for just the right tool for the task(s). Lately, definitely PLURAL. “Right” means it helps me work the way I think, carrying me with the least possible intrusion by the tool toward completion of the job or…
Why I Want an iPod: End of message
I’ve tried to convince myself that when my “egg money” built to a certain level, I’d look at getting an iPod. Why? Because radio reception is crummy between the house and work (though sometimes the static only enhances the mood…
FeedBack, Y’all
I told you in the “FEEDS I’M READING” sidebar about Scribd, billed as the “You-Tube for Text”. It was swamped with submissions when I first tried to upload a file; it was zippy today. And for starters, I uploaded Gene…
Serving Suggestion
To read the Google Reader sidebar FEEDS/BLOGS I’M READING all on one continuous page, click the READ MORE at the end. Or click here. I find this is a good way to both share and remember news or blog pieces…
Snappy Screen Capture
I haven’t added many new Firefox extensions lately. At least, I haven’t kept many once I tried them. But Snapper now lives on my browser window just above the task bar. It shows there up as a little red fish.…
Nibbled to Death By Mice
I hate it when something that outta work just won’t. And I’m sorry to voice my frustations publicly, but only do so to say: I’m getting there. Bear with me. I don’t know how many of you bloggers are using…
Notezilla: Sticky Notes Brain Extender
Work Flow and Organization Habits are like belly buttons: everybody’s got one. But getting better at keeping projects, bills, calls, emails, deadlines, blogs, columns, and honey-do’s all done well and on time–at least for me–gets more complicated as life (paradoxically)…
