A housekeeping post: My fall semester starts Monday, and since I’ve been dragging a little lately, I took two days off work last week to dust out my head- and living-spaces. The extra-long weekend was EXACTLY what I needed. In the past four days I did lots of laundry, watched [...]

Design Geek Review: The Rejected
Design Geek Review: The Rejected
Last week’s episode of Mad Men—like the premiere—didn’t really merit a Design Geek Review. It wasn’t terribly fabulous, visually or otherwise. (I’m bored of the suburbs.) However, yesterday’s was wow! So here are some things that set this Design Geek’s heart racing last night: 1.&2. 3. 4.&5. 6. The Campbell [...]

Very busy with classes, so here’s one of my programming projects to tide you over.
