April 20th, 2010It’s dead simple to write a pop hit:
I haven’t decided what I’m gonna do, but I’m probably gonna run for President
April 12th, 2010Tina Fey is back as Sarah Palin, and she is as funny as ever:
A different type of garden
April 7th, 2010
Matt and I have started on a new adventure this week. After living in our new house for a year and a half, we have decided it is finally time to take on the front lawn landscaping. While we are pretty competent food gardeners, neither of us have any experience with this type of work. But as Matt says, “people do this every day”. So, we have decided to rip out the existing, unpleasant landscaping and replace it with an herb garden and flower garden. Continue reading this post…
Fun with your new iPad
April 5th, 2010The folks at Blendtec have jumped on the iPad bandwagon just like so many others this weekend. But what they do with it goes way beyond jailbreaking:
It’s okay, you can be a Single Lady
April 1st, 2010I saw this video today and it made me smile so I had to share:
It has to be tough to be a parent!
I am a Geek, how about you?
March 31st, 2010I found the following Venn diagram on the Great White Shark blog detailing the difference between geeks, nerds, dorks, and dweebs based on intelligence, Obsession, and Social Ineptitude.
I think I fall pretty squarely in the geek category. How about you?
How not to change my mind
March 29th, 2010I am confounded! Twice this past week I have read articles about individuals lashing out violently at people around them because they disagree with someone’s life choices, and in these cases, life choices involving the food.
The first incident involved Lierre Keith’s author of “The Vegetarian Myth”. So-called militant vegans attacked her at a recent speaking engagement and threw pies filled with cayenne pepper in her face. A video of the pieing can be seen here on YouTube. The second incident took place right here in Indiana, when a knife wielding vegetarian destroyed and contaminated packages of meat in a grocery store. Police had to be called because the man threatened employees at the store with the knife when they attempted to stop him. According to the article, his reasoning for the attack was “to save little girls from food he believes would make them chubby.” Continue reading this post…
BlogIndiana Richmond
March 15th, 2010This evening I attended the Blog Indiana event at Indiana University East sponsored by Summersault Website Development. Brad J. Ward, CEO of BlueFuego — a web-based higher education marketing and recruitment company — gave a presentation on the future of social media. It was an interesting presentation and Brad was a good presenter. While I didn’t really hear anything new about social media and networking, I did come away with one bit of anecdotal information that could come in handy. Continue reading this post…
Fabulous Felted Mittens
March 15th, 2010I just finished a felted mittens class at Unwind Yarn Shop, and I am ecstatic about how my mittens turned out! This was not my first attempt at mittens, but it was definitely my first successful attempt. The class was a lot of fun, and the pattern (Snow Country Felted Mittens) was really easy to follow. I even felt confident wielding the 4 double point needles by the end of the class.
Geek Chic — Barbie
February 19th, 2010Thanks to Gadgettes, I found out today that Barbie is now a GEEK. After an online vote, it was decided that Barbie’s new career would be Computer Engineer. This is Barbie’s 125th career (wow, can we say indecisive) and the first that was decided by an online vote.
