How many more things can go wrong in one day? After trying to salvage the ibook harddrive, my ipod is now sitting there an hour later in worse shape than the ibook, except for the fact that its NOT making grinding noises, or any noise really. It is however, giving me what must be apple’s […]

I got my tiger. I got it installed, tweaked, its beautiful. I did an archive install, so none of my data went away. And now, less than 24 hours later, the hard drive noises are back. And now, its not only the clicking. Everytime I hear the heads move, everything freezes for 30 seconds or […]

maybe I’m writing myself into a dead end here, but I guess we’ll see. On the other hand, a couple of links off some of the reading i did on BlogHerCon let me to a nice article by one Shelley Powers. Not being a power blogger myself, I have no idea where she fits into […]

My guardian angel gave me this, framed, when I was a pledge. I don’t know the source, but its something that is good to reflect back on from time to time. With the comments on marriage the other day, when I came across it “housecleaning” it seemed appropriate. Without pain in life, there is no […]

It’s always freaky just how tiny the valley is in terms of circles of folks. People I’ve met in one place turn up as coworkers the next day. Resumes come into circulation for people i haven’t seen in years. And more than anything else, talk flies. The concept of six degress is almost too broad […]
