Here’s a few nifty April fools sites I’ve seen today: Google Gulp, a new beverage from Google, modeled after their GMail Valparaiso, but look fast, because it “fixes” itself after a few seconds University of Wisconsin Fox Valley, but again, it “fixes” after a few seconds This is something that comes up annually on my …

I’m going to see Kathleen Madigan at the Improv in Addison tonight. She’s hilarious! Yay! 🙂

This morning (moments ago, actually) I got a phone call from the organizer of the university Web geek conference I’m attending for the second time this July. I may have mentioned (though I can’t remember now if I have or not) that I had submitted an abstract for a session on user testing — meaning …

I got an e-mail at work today that made me chuckle. Here’s what one of my Web people said to me today: “Thanks, Liz. I imagine you seldom have a dull moment!” How true, sister! Another one that made me laugh today was in response to my e-mail about that bizarre ampersand thing: “Lovely – …

I could rant about the fact that it took me 40 minutes to drive less than seven miles on interstate 35 today, but nobody likes to listen to other people rant about traffic. I could rant about the fact that I have to spend another four hours of my personal time at practicum tonight, but …

He just handed it to me and said, “No surprises here.” Checks all the way down the “excellent” column. Also, in other random MLS updates, I found out …

I got home from Houston around 6:00 Thursday night, and after a quick 15-minute reprieve on the new couches (they arrived Thursday!), set into action to get ready for our Good Friday/Easter weekend garage sale. About the best you could say we’d done to get ready in advance was cleaning off/out the old couches last …

Rachelle recommended this quiz. I took it. And apparently, I’m a “XPIG–Expressive Practical Intellectual Giver.” Here’s the description: You are a XPIG–Expressive Practical Intellectual Giver. This makes you a Catch. You are a magazine-cover, matinee idol dreamboat. Parents love you and want to set you up with their kids. However, first dates are tough because …

So, I *just* finished watching “Bridget Jones 2: The Edge of Reason.” Julie had warned me that it wasn’t as good as the first movie, and I’m willing to concede she was right … but not by much. Colin Firth was adorable (as always) and the movie was the right combination of funny and sweet. …
