But here is one of the pictures I took tonight on my way back to DC from Salisbury. I caught the Chesapeake Bay Bridge at sunset, and got some outstanding photos with the digital camera. I cannot believe I took these. I hope I haven’t used up all my photography mojo before I even get …
Regarding gmail …
Wow! I swear, in all my life, I never would have thought a post on *gmail* would be the one to give life to an honest-to-goodness *debate*! {shrug} I have clearly misunderestimated! On a related note, I actually — I cannot BELIEVE this — got a gmail invite. Seriously. It came from Allen from Allen. …
Gmail
If you want to see geeks get all fired up, bring up Gmail. Those who’ve got it shrug with quiet modesty and/or arrogance. Those who don’t immediately begin begging for an invite. I first heard about it from my brother. Then yesterday, I saw three women beg a guy from Canada to invite them to …
Yummy!
Today, I had a yummy down-home family-style lunch at a local place called English’s Family Restaurant. Complete with legendary fried chicken! Here’s a picture, just because I don’t see places that look like this much anymore.
Check this out…
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 …
