Tips For Your Best Zoom Experience

Posted on 2020-05-01

Or Skype, or Google Meet, or GoToMeeting, or whatever. As I bounce around social media, I keep running across a lot of spurious advice on how to project a “professional” impression as you, like everyone else, participates in video calls from home. This seems to be particularly true on LinkedIn. Most of that advice is…

Nonessential

Posted on 2020-04-28

The cursor flashes, waiting for a command.Any command.An editor window is open,Empty.The fan does not hum, with nothing to cool.The keyboard simply restsAs dust,Illuminated by the stripes of sunlightmoving across the desk,Settles between its idle keys. It all taunts meWith the truth: There is no map I can make,No chart,No graph,No query,No post nor comment;…

Mowers and Maps

Posted on 2012-08-18

I was mowing the lawn today and trimming with the push mower pictured below. If it looks old, that’s because it is. I first acquired it in 1978 when it was given to me by neighbors that were moving to an apartment near the city, meaning they no longer needed it. It still starts on…

Ten-Second Tidy

Posted on 2010-12-10

Things have been a bit hectic the last few weeks and that’s left little time for blogging. Quite a bit has happened so I thought I’d do a little round-up (if for no other reason than to clear my own head). [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJa7P6dfmco] In no particular order: Steve Coast to Microsoft (I told you it had…

Quilted Map of Monongahela National Forest

Posted on 2010-05-18

I found this map on display at the Cranberry Glades visitor center in West Virginia (click any of the pictures to enlarge them): One of the rangers working there told me it is to scale (although the quilt itself lacks any indication of scale).

Twitter Shows Blitz

Posted on 2009-10-06

This past weekend, NFL Sunday to be specific, I was the victim of a TV/internet outage due to a mistake made by a technician while they did some work at the junction box shared by my next-door neighbor and I. As a result, I was unable to watch my beloved Washington NFL franchise hobble to…

Amazon and the Fountain of Youth

Posted on 2009-09-17

Yesterday, I enjoyed Seth Godin’s post titled “The End of Dumb Software.” This morning, I got an e-mail started off like this: Dear Amazon.com Customer, As someone who has purchased or rated books by Norman Bridwell, you might like to know that Clifford The Champion will be released on October 1, 2009. You can pre-order…
