Beejeebers

In the next six months, I have to collect approximately 40 CPE units.  Why I need to do that is, never mind, not your business really.  Suffice it to say it’s not as easy as it sounds. 

The value given to the various courses offered seems arbitrary & capricious.  Thankfully, most can be found online.

Three years ago I found myself traveling all over Cambridge & Boston, attending everything from a course using a pirate treasure hunt to teach organization skills to one that scared the bejeeber out of me.

My bejeeber is normally rather fearless but if yours saw what I did, it can be guaranteed similar flight.

WordPress for Android

I am not sure when WordPress for Android was installed on my HTC Evo.  While browsing the WP site I saw a link to the app and quickly downloaded it only to find it already installed.

This means I am installing apps in my sleep. Is this one of the signs of Internet addiction?  I bet there is an App For That!  (uh-oh…)

This Close to 60!

Tomorrow is my 60th birthday.  So far only one of my friends has given me a gag age-related gift having to do with being a “boomer. ”

The rest have to do with an upcoming visit to DC.  Tickets to the Newsium & the Smithsonian as well as research material like the K. St. Guide to Congress & the Moleskine Guide to DC.

In some other dimension I may be that thoughtful but not this one.

Another side of showing my age is an increase in the number of computer related age-ist acts.

I’ve learned to take advantage of them. “No, sonny, I don’t know how to get this to work; could you do it for me?”  It makes me feel like Tom Sawyer at the picket fence.

Snow Fairies?

A friend just commented to me on facebook after I complained about MORE SNOW!  She said I should look at it as the snow fairies come to bring light into my life.

The author Jim Butcher recently commented on Twitter regarding fairies. As for snow fairies, he & I are in total agreement.

There’s an App For That!

Found the Android app for WordPress. This will hopefully allow the WP blogs in the grazing series to be kept up to date.

Merry Christmas

This was a very pleasant morning.  Just the stocking and core family gifts.  The major gathering is tomorrow.  That will be fun.  This was pleasant.  They are different in subtle ways with neither being better, but more appropriate to the time, place and people.

The gist of the matter, this is a holiday, last year, I didn’t know if I would make or not.  I am so happy I did.

Love is good.  Don’t waste it!!!

Hogmanay!!!

Blog Subject

This is a test of the blog subject shortcut when posting. If the Sorry, etc. message appears, we’ve narrowed it down.

Played with Foursquare while getting my car serviced this morning. First lesson, be careful what you say, it gets posted all over the place. Stay tuned for second…

5,000 instead of 3,000?

It was close to a religious tradition to have my last two cars serviced every 3,000 miles.

When we bought our 2010 Scion Xb we were told the services were at 5 000 miles. The last two took me well over 300,000 miles.

it does make me nervous, but we will stick to their program. Now if they’d wash the waiting room floor once in a while, it might become a pleasant experience.

Ping isn’t working> On TweetDeck for me. I have tried re-installing it twice. We’ll try HootSuite to see if it’s Ping.fm.

At the request of Beth Kehoe Flick,

I am posting the following message. – Children with special needs don’t have an illness, so there is no cure and it’s not contagious. They want what we all want — to be accepted. Most of you won’t copy and paste this, but will you do it and leave it on your status for at least an hour? This is in honor of all the kids who n…eed a little extra help and understanding

Having an off day

There are days where I am getting obviously better. Then there are days like today. I can’t say I feel bad, but I am feeling closer to how I felt on Chemo then I remember how I felt before it. The good news is, the beard is looking less scruffy. We must take some pleasure in the small things.

The factory whistle had its place.

Perhaps someone should create an app that shows up on your screen and sounds a steam whistle when it’s time to put down the tools and go home.
