I have been sorta watching the One Laptop Per Child initiative. It is an interesting idea – build an inexpensive laptop that can be given to children in countries that do not have access to such technologies. Feels very techy-feely to me! And now this initiative came into my radar: Give One Get One. Between…

Lists and Lists: Keeping is not the same as finding
While I share his feelings about stuff and storage, I am not sure I totally agree with his take on the electronic “stuff” we save. I do love my lists…no secret there. I have at least three different notebooks full of lists right now. Plus a list sitting on my desk of things to do…and,…
My First 5K
Okay…I did it. I ran in my first 5K. My goals were pretty basic: To finish To only walk 1 time To be running at the finish line I succeeded in two of the three goals. (I had to walk more than once). I got a “stitch” in both sides at different points in the…
Blog Action Day is coming up
October 15 is Blog Action Day and since little old T-F is on the particpation list, I wanted to remind you (and me) of the upcoming date. They offered a “what kind of blogger are you?” quiz and since I am quite the little quiz-hound, I just had to take it. Here are the results:

More of the “It’s a Wonderful World” vibe….
Somtimes, you just wonder how much there is out there you don’t know about.
A Tribute to a Teacher – PS, I love you.
I learned two days ago that one of my high school teachers had died suddenly. She had retired from the high school several years ago but was teaching at the liberal arts college in town so she still had a classroom of students. When she didn’t show up for class on Tuesday morning, someone went…
Wow..we live in a great world
The call for video submissions came at a WAY TOO BUSY time for me to even entertain the idea of participating and after watching the final product, I doubt I would have made the final cut. But, it is great to see how many creative folks there are out there for a simple little GMail…
