Help
actually I need to get one of your devices. I always want to open my CD as soon as I get in my car so I can listen to it on the way home. My fingernails are hardly adequate for the task.

I learned a cool trick to deal with this. Unhook the bottom of the front cover and pull it up, peel off the adhesive and replace the cover.
Lateral thinking. I love it.

One is often told that it is very wrong to attack religion because religion makes men virtuous. So I am told; I have not noticed it. (Bertrand Russell)
Believing there is no god gives me more room for belief in family, people, love, truth, beauty, sex, Jell-O, and all things I can prove and that make this life the best life I will ever have. (Penn Jillette)

I don't think she got you right at all. No moxie. Not even a watered down Nina. Just a coincidence as I see it.

So I got one of those x-box live connections for Christmas, basically it allows me to plug my games console into the net and play against other people worldwide. Unfortunately this has led to my realisation that while I thought I was pretty good at Halo 2, I am in fact shite! I think I got my ass whupped by pretty much everyone, and that is devistating when you realise that the majority of people on this thing will be teenage boys! Oh well, I suppose I could always taunt them by saying "I own a house y'know! I can go to bed whenever I like!" etc. etc.

Home with what has turned into a full-blown cold. Can't go to the office to do catching up, can't go to Central Park to see the boreal owl, can't get any taste when eating Robert's bread. Buy Kleenex stock, folks. I'm going through it like there's no tomorrow.

15 seconds delay between trying to set the water temp in the shower and it actually changing. An exercise in delayed feedback control systems. Oof.
I think that is the danger of keeping a blog: you exaggerate everything

Thanks for the advice. What's going on with the CO problem?

Speaking of the CO problem...
Our building distributed CO detectors. We got one. It plugs in to an outlet. Where should I put it?

Bedroom or living room. Mine is battery-operated and the super installed it in the little hallway just outside my bedroom.

so, my department has this great perk called "banking" whereby they let you teach an extra class each semester (our normal load is 2-2) and "redeem" it later for an unofficial sabbatical. so if you teach 3-3 one year you can take the next semester off. anyway, so i taught 3 classes last fall and was scheduled to teach 3 this spring. a few weeks ago i was given the option to switch one of my large non-majors classes for a small majors-only class. not being an idiot all the time i took them up on it. but they didn't get around to addding it to the system till this weekend and now there's a chance it might not make. which means i won't be able to take next fall of for research in india as i was planning.
yes, this is an annoyance everyone can relate to. especially the people who teach 3-3 or more on a normal basis.
however, if it does make it could turn into a reason to be cheerful since it is unlikely it will fill up completely and might give me the opportunity to teach it seminar style.
