… yesterday JD had me take the side off of my computer. He wanted to see (thanks to my webcam) the inside of it to know whether or not it would be compatible with other gizmos and gadgets — mostly because I'm not terribly knowledgeable about that kind of thing, really. Well, in the process… Continue reading Showing off my lack of hardware skills…

… but I happen to think it's rather an amusing take on the Hitler meme. And it's gotten a surprising amount of press in the past 48 hours. In other news, yesterday I attended an excellent CKI meeting. It's the first time I've seen the UofA CKI club meet over the summer months so that… Continue reading Not sure if you caught this video…

So, as a habit, or trend on this blog over the 6.5 years I've been writing odd musings here, I've been posting something of wishlists for birthdays and Christmases (partly to help family and friends who request these). And each year they're different, because they include both pipedreams (things that'll never happen) and items that… Continue reading Birthday wishes (2010 edition)

Gosh I've been a busy girl this weekend — and that doesn't necessarily mean that I've been terribly productive in the work/school sense, but I've certainly done quite a bit on the personal development front. I do rather need to get back into the groove with work and whatnot, but in the time being, I… Continue reading A busy weekend, but a worthwhile one…

So as some of you may have read, I managed to break my ol' trusty point and shoot digital camera while stepping off of a moving walkway at the Bellagio Hotel in Vegas. Hence my having only three pictures from that trip (what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, eh?). I have been to Vegas… Continue reading New Web Cam and other camera related thoughts.

So I managed to drop and break my camera on my second day in Vegas, so I only have like two photos to post (and I'll post them eventually, but they're not all that amazing or anything). The camera's likely fixable: I broke it the same way like 3 or 4 years ago now and… Continue reading Vegas and food poisoning, oh my!

… and while I'm quite a bit more excited (I bought a ticket to VivaElvis, now that discounts seem to be available!), I'm still in no mood to travel so soon after the last trip. I have so very much to catch up on, and I'm by no means finished the paper that I've been… Continue reading Leaving for Vegas…

So I'm going to Vegas this week. And I'm not entirely looking forward to it. I mean, yes, I do go to a tonne of unusual/not necessarily traditional or expected cities for conventions, and sure Vegas does have a certain draw, but I've been there twice since 2007 (2007 and 2009). I may be a… Continue reading Thoughts on the upcoming trip to Vegas

Gosh it feels good to talk to people. As I've mentioned before, I don't do well without human interaction. I need balance, and balance for me is a constant battle but one that I don't plan on giving up on any time soon. So yesterday being back at work wasn't an altogether bad thing: I… Continue reading Feeding the mind, body and soul…

My life is a balancing act: I value balance between work, school, social spheres, fitness, health etc. far more than I do many other things. And it isn't an easy job to balance these things. So when I have a day when I get more settled in my mind, more prepared for the future, or… Continue reading Back to the balancing act…
