After discussing my history of blogging, this site and its toddler years to a co-worker, I’ve come to realize that I miss writing here.  It has always been the stress of work or school, wanting to be with my husband or the stress of having things to do at home that stop me. I suppose I just have to make more of an effort to write.

So, I’m hoping to ( Read more... )

OK, I’m excited about Upular from Pogo. The YouTube video is being mefi-ed right now, but I think it can handle it.

What is a Pogo? Well, he is an trip/hop dj/musician from Perth. He samples audio from films, mixes them with beats and makes awesome music from it.  If you’re on Last.fm, you can find him (and additional music) there as well as on ( Read more... )

Josh and I will hopefully get to take a vacation at the same time before Christmas. It seemed to be the least busiest time of year and I figure work won’t miss me too much then. Apparently the week I return will have little to no one at work. I think we’ll be down to four or five in my office. Skeleton crew, that’s more like a side of ribs.

We’ve ( Read more... )

Hello my lovelies!

I’ve been actively researching grants. Whoa is me there aren’t any for the. I’m specifically looking for grant money to send me to various web/technology conferences and workshops or training. Ideally I’d love to go to SXSW but alas it isn’t happening. Work can’t send me because well, budget cuts! I peeked around at federal ( Read more... )

I’m working on a freelance gig that has been doing a lot of research. I’m trying to make it as easy as possible to use. I’ve been given some specific requests but basically allowed to use whatever I need to, to get it done. I was given some websites containing aspects of what was desired and after exploring options, I’m finding a lot of sites using ( Read more... )

I’m a bad bad blogger. Heck, I haven’t been tweeting much either. I need to start a routine and maybe I will start again. I haven’t had a routine in a long time.  Let’s just blame it on me having cable, OK?

Hrm. I should go. Josh is getting frustrated with the evil princess walking in front of his screen as much as I get frustrated with her sitting ( Read more... )

Being inspired by Jenn over at fivedollarshake.com, I am going to experiment with some stuff. I learned this evening that you can “stack” coupons at Target stores*. Meaning you can use a manufacturers coupon along with a Target store coupon* (generate multiple ones here*). That can often lead to deals where you can get money back (if your store ( Read more... )

Tomorrow the new season of Fringe airs. This is one of the few shows I watch. Perhaps that is because Reality Television has saturated the industry. Either way, I’m happy that Fringe is back tomorrow. Tonight a new episode of Glee is airing. I like it. I attempted to describe it this morning and the best way I could was, “Its basically High School ( Read more... )

Patrick Swayze died. Got it. Jim Carroll died. Got it. Anybody else? Perhaps I should keep a tally sheet for Kris‘ next Oscar contest. Hmm. Maybe that is a bit sick. Sorry.

The Broncos vs the Pats tonight. I’m listening to it but I am just not in to it. I think I am too tired. I did manage to watch an episode of Top Gear. I hope I get some of my ( Read more... )

The house is all clean. I spent most of the day cleaning everything. All of the linens are washed. The floors are vacuumed and everything is dusted. I just got a bug and went nuts. I managed to mow the little strip of grass in the front yard before it rained. Once it stopped raining, the ground was too saturated to dry out enough to do the larger ( Read more... )
