Just making a quick post to the blog
February 26, 2008 – 4:31 pm
I’m checking to make sure that OPML editor can connect to a non WordPress.com WP blog. I was playing around with MarsEdit today and I got to thinking that I type better via outliner than straight textwindow. Anyway, this post is really for me, but if you enjoy it, leave a comment, eh?
And it does. [...]
So this is Christmas
February 26, 2008 – 4:00 pm
Just testing out something that I read on Days of our Lives blog on “How to write a post on Wordpress using Safari 3.0.4 - without screwing up text formatting.”
The idea is to turn off the “Use visual editor” under “My Profile.” So what if you get the “ugly” editor…it works now, eh?
And, that’s [...]
How not to get a grant
February 26, 2008 – 2:04 pm
And this is not a rant against not getting the Lilly Endowment for not granting my proposal “Writing a blank canvas: Arctic Canada and Northern Indiana” (There is little distracting about the landscapes of Nunavut, Canada and Northern Indiana. But in writing about place, I plan on crafting an non-fiction essay about the vast beauty [...]
Coffee Stains: On the Anniversary of Steve Kirkpatrick’s death
February 21, 2008 – 7:02 am
Five years ago, a friend, colleague and department chair, Steve Kirkpatrick died after a battle with cancer. I mostly think of Steve when I’m running by the dam by the reservoir and I am reminded of his idea of saving the world. I think I posted this last year, but in honor of Steve, I’m [...]
Trying Thunderbird again…
February 20, 2008 – 11:13 pm
And I blame it on @rherdman for suggesting that I give it another try and I, once again, remember why I didn’t decide on using Thunderbird: importing address contacts.
I know it’s not that big of a deal, but it is. I use GMail and since my defection from .Mac mail, I’ve used Google’s mail service [...]
Coffee Stains: Of Rats and Boys
February 20, 2008 – 7:19 pm
Tonight the 7-year-old informed me that Mom said “We could get a four-legged guinea pig” and I told him that his mother “wasn’t right in the head.”
He thought that was funny and went and told Mom what I said and she laughed.
Don’t try and read into the 7-year-old’s compound adjective of “four-legged,” I think he [...]
Coffee Stains: A Confession about my Lanyard
February 12, 2008 – 9:10 pm
It was given to me from a former colleague’s husband who worked in DC when the love-years of NoChildLeftBehind were being birthed in the aisles of Congress. NCLB was the thing to rally behind, leaving no one behind. And yet, even though some knew that the emphasis on high-stakes testing was bad, the idea of [...]
