How About That Unemployment Rate?

February 12, 2012

Great news for the sitting president! The unemployment rate is about to go down again. My husband, who’s been out of work for quite some time, is about to exhaust his unemployment benefits. (Oh, by the way, I’m not a huge fan of government handouts, but in this case I’m considering those unemployment checks pre-payment [...]

Battle of the Warrens

January 9, 2012

When my interest in something is piqued I tend to obsess about it. For instance, I found GT’s Kombucha with chia seeds, tried it, didn’t like it at first, but grew to love it over the course of three days, and now I feel a bit odd without my daily sweet and sour seedy mix. [...]

Chi-chi-chi-chia Update

November 28, 2011

My fascination with the mini chia seed continues. The experiment took a seemingly dark turn last week when, the day after feeding my son “banana chia seed pudding” (soaked chia seeds mixed with mashed banana), he started throwing up. As a mother, I instantly feared I’d created some kind of chia blockage in his intestines. [...]

Top Ten Reasons Why Writing For Computers Is Better Than Writing For Humans

November 21, 2011

10. Computer languages don’t contain adverbs so you are free to use them as much or as little as you like. 9. Computer languages don’t contain arbitrary grammar rules. “i” always comes before “e” unless enclosed within a conditional IF/THEN statement. 8.

More Weird Stuff

November 14, 2011

Hrmm. It would seem in my desire to avoid working on my latest short story, I have found many ways to distract myself. Last week I talked about Monkey Shoes. I said I was going to experiment with “bare foot running” and I would let you know how it goes. Heh. Well. I ran for [...]
