Screened Comment Box
I've been meaning to implement this idea for a while. The thing is: if you need to drop me a line, quickly, discreetly, and privately, and maybe even anonymously (though I'd hope you trusted me enough to sign your name), you could do it here. All comments to this post are screened (I'm the only one who'll see them), and it's dated so it'll stay on ( Read more... ) -
I'm procrastinating.
I played SimTower for about four hours yesterday and today and, with immense pride this morning, beat the damn game. Never done it before.
Once upon a time I went on a roadtrip. I bought a stuffed (plushie, not taxidermist's) sea lion at a drive-through zoo in Oklahoma. No, I don't know why. But he's become a thing.Mike: Samuel looks well read in ( Read more... ) -

Hopefully, the webcomic reading binge* has got all the procrastin out of ( Read more... ) -
Help me, LJ!

Dear fellow techies,
Somebody on campus noticed all the computer labs with dual monitors and decided that was a pointless way to waste energy. (From an editorial in the campus paper:)
ITaP should consider partnering up with Boiler Green Initiative more often. There are many issues besides printing in computer labs on campus that could be fixed with prudence. For ( Read more... ) -

Yesterday I felt like a new, different person. I was doing things, taking initiative and responsibility, talking to people -- holding a small audience (members at varying degrees of "acquaintance" and "friend") for a small story, even. I was capable and excited, and at the end of the day I was drained, I really don't know why. Maybe it's because it ( Read more... ) -
