According to this very interesting site, the i-Ching hexagram for [...]

By jiminy, it really *is* faster!

Wow. So far I'm liking Google Chrome quite a lot. And I haven't even started playing around with all the extensions.

It's raining outside, and my back is very emphatic about not wanting to leave its heating pad, so today is a stay-in-bed-with-the-laptop day. Which is fine, because I have podcast intros that need [...]

No snow? Waaa!

Apparently we're NOT going to get the big snowstorm that the weatherpeoples were predicting for Portland. Waaa! I wanted some snow! I am very selfish because I work at home and don't have to commute anywhere and I wanted to go play in the snow with my dog. I wanted the whole world to [...]

Welcome, 2011!

Let me be one of the last to say, "Happy New Year!" to all my friends and readers. As I was saying to my husband on our New Year's Day walk (which has become somewhat of a tradition in our family), I can make one prediction with 100% confidence … it will be a [...]

The Economics of Pain

Given my current unsatisfactory state, I've been thinking a lot over the past couple of weeks about the economics of pain—and more specifically, how my decision processes regarding my condition have been shaped by my need to adopt a consumerist mentality, and the compromises attendant to that mentality. Jeez, what a chewy sentence! Let's [...]
