Studeo, ergo sum That's my motto and my excuse for not blogging of late, which is ironic, because I am taking both a writing for print media course and an IT course about technology and society, yet I don't get to really use my blog for either of them *grumble*. I also spent a couple of weeks recovering from an "upgrade" *shudder*. I am beginning to get some idea of why bells and whistles are so important: Because when you can't get the damned thing out of the garage, the only thing you can do is play with the bells and whistles.

Has anyone mentioned to management that there is this thing called the ADA? Oops, sorry, I couldn't read that email...I'm feeling in an absinthe sort of mood tonight, don't know why, maybe winter has lasted too long. A few winters away from upstate NY and a person gets soft.
