Writer's Block: School Ties
My major was Science and Technology Studies, which I switched to after deciding that Comp Sci was not for me. I think STS prepared me for a career in IT (and now moving into IT management) better than CS ever could have. Understanding the influences of history, sociology, politics, and marketing on technology helps me better navigate the issues ( Read more... ) -
What's in a name
I'd really like to grab a domain name for my personal use. Alas, I'm boring and don't have any creative ideas for what to use. I'd grab manly.net or man.ly, but they're both being squatted. (Plus, the political peril of man.ly makes it more iffy ( Read more... ) -
Back in the saddle
Well, back on the treadmill anyway.
I went down to the gym and walked/ran 2.39 miles in 30 minutes. I think I want to get that to 3 miles in 30 minutes by the end of December, if I can.
We're going to try to take turns going on alternate days, since both of us going between the school bus and work wasn't working anytime one of us had a 9:00 -
Yep, I'm done
With the start of the school year, we started heading back to the gym last week. Thursday's rainout interrupted that, and Celisa had an early meeting on Friday that made the timing perilous.

Doggy troubles
I was up way too early this morning ( Read more... ) -
Ouch
Well, Monday's run seems to have triggered something in my foot that hurts. A lot. It's in a different spot from where I've been having problems, so I suspect I've done something new and creative rather than upsetting the old and boring injury.
Feh. -
My Achilles heel
Quite literally, in fact ( Read more... ) -
adaptation
God grant me
serenity to change the things I must change,
strength to accept the things I cannot change,
and wisdom for when they are the same. -
Libera me
Over the past few days, a number of things have been stacking up to leave me a bit on edge. Taxes, landlord stuff, realtor stuff, managerial work stuff. Nothing tragic or catastrophic, but just lots of mild not-happy-making. I had trouble getting to sleep last night because of it, so I was tired all day today ( Read more... )
