I took this photo en route to my final day at the Web geek conference in Salisbury. I just think this is hysterical. And wrong. Hysterical *because* it is wrong!
Rejoice in the wonders of Ruby Tuesday’s
I went to Ruby Tuesday’s tonight at the Salisbury mall — which was, in itself, a dangerous tactical error. I would just like to point all of you who are interested in dining with knowledge to Ruby Tuesday’s (not that we’ve got a damned one in the greater Dallas area, GRR!) — their menu lists …
NPR, here I come!
I could give you all the background information for this breaking news item, but as it’s only marginally interesting to me, I figure it would be boring as hell to you. So let me cut quickly to the bottom line: I have a meeting set up at 11 a.m. Friday with an NPR librarian! *AT* …
Ma cervelle est en compote
Call it a “backward tongue” if you will (Michael), but the French expression above is one of my longtime favorites and it *totally* applies right now: My brain feels like it’s applesauce right now. I’ve absorbed just about all the information I can absorb at this point, and (thankfully!) there’s just one more session today. …
My rainmaker powers have returned!
Those of us who have been living in Texas recently know that June was a great month for weather (if you share my tastes in weather, anyway) — it’s been cool and rainy for most of the month. Someone told me we got a record amount of rain in Texas for June, actually. That’s all …
And on that note, we cue the scary music
So as previously discussed, I’m totally geeking out over here on the Eastern Shore with my laptop and wireless Internet connection, right? And earlier today, right before our *fascinating* 11:15 a.m. session about “Milennials” (kids born after 1982ish), I was tapping out an e-mail to my gal pal Julie when, behind me, I overheard a …
Liz said: “I’d like to have buy-in at the level that people don’t hate me.”
{From the conference during dessert break — in which I cannot participate, dangit!} Web geeks at a conference for IT, marketing and admissions people are easy to pick out: We have the laptops. We sent in MAC addresses ahead of time. And so we, ladies and gentlemen, have wireless Internet access everywhere in the building …
From the airplane …
DATELINE: Airspace above Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland or DC (exact location is classified), 2:32 p.m. EST, July 10, 2004 Our pilot is chatty. *Really* chatty. He gave us a fantastic “welcome” briefing with general flight description details, then repeated the whole thing a second time because one of the flight attendants said the PA system …
Getting ready to load up the car …
So let’s review! Toothbrush? CHECK! Information for homework assignment due Monday @ midnight? CHECK! Laptop Internet ready? CHECK! AC adapters for: phone? laptop? iPod? PDA? digital camera? CHECK! Rags ready to head to Chez Paul? Errrr … maybe not. 🙁 I swear, I have more electronics on my person and in my possession than should …
Welcome!
Well, here we go kids, Liz is going to attempt another blog/semi-regular writing enterprise. Brace yourselves, it could get interesting. As noted in the description above, the primary purpose of this little blog (for now) is to detail my adventures in DC and Maryland on my impending business trip. Of course, given that I went …
