Me In Bed

Feeling a little sick today. It appears the cold Allyson brought home has made land fall in the back of my throat today. A tad scratchy and mildly annoying. I am convinced it will be worse tomorrow. I certainly don't want to be sick today...grumble. Fight the illness!

I also just checked my comments approval queue and I had a whole bunch in there. So, if you've left a comment some time in the last four weeks, I didn't receive a notice that a comment was posted. The reason for this is I changed the anti-spam system and it doesn't appear to let me know when comments are posted like the previous one. It has stopped a whole lot but also seems to hold on to "real comments" and not bother me. A nice feature if I didn't care about comments. A little embarrassing since I kinda helped write a book about this stuff. The bottom line is, I have read them and responded to a few of them.

Always learning, that is the key.

Still at the office fighting with my computer (where the heck are my tech support people?) because my Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator tanked the other day and then decided to have some kind of hiatus on a beach without me.  What I have discovered is that Adobe's installer is the worst installer ever devised.  So, I plod on.

As I am waiting for that little green bar to get to 100%, I decided to check out what is going on with the Canadian election.  Below, I stumbled upon this video and thought it was worth a mention.  Go vote.  If you don't, Sarah Silverman won't take off her bra.

And, hey, Canadian people!  We have an election coming up soon - so, you'd better get out there and vote too.  I mean, we remember all these ads, don't we?

And, hey, if Craig Ferguson is making fun of everything that is going on, who are we to ignore that?  Oh, wait, he is serious.

podcasting

What else do I do? I talk out loud, record it, and post it on line. I chatter about all kinds of things. Some of the things are nerdy, some professional, and some of them are very much NSFW. Why? Because do them for myself and my non-work life. You can be the judge.
