Home Sick, Prepping For Next Term [Nov. 15th, 2007|08:42 am]

Home today with a stomach bug, so I've jumped up to check on mail from students, and figured I'd get a post in . . .

One of the classes I'm teaching next term, for Suffolk University, is New Media/New Markets. A feature of the class is web design, so of course I'm reminding myself of how to code html, as well as looking for new and tasty hacks and such that might be of interest. I know the sign below is old news to many, but I thought it might allow for discussing some interesting concepts about online marketing, web security, and how people react to what they see online.

BTW, the third line is random (I put in 5 options), and is where I've put in the "think about this" suggestion . . . and I supplemented the li'l advert the creators included with a direct link to the sign's homepage, as well as a link to this LJ.


Any comments?

Just a quick word to pass along my GREAT apologies for having no time - not only to post and read, but to even acknowledge comments! Most of you know the current time suckers, and while I've been behind on correspondence and such for years now *sheepish grin*, it's been worse of late.

My deep apologies.

Making A Clean Sweep . . . [Aug. 10th, 2007|07:05 pm]

[mood |amusedamused]

I know, I know . . . I should have posted LONG ago . . . and this isn't even a proper post, but it's not a request for a favor this time (well, at least this one favors me AND you! *sheepish grin*)

A couple of years ago our name was given to a carpet cleaning company, who called us up and offered a free demo. They cleaned a carpet (INCREDIBLY WELL), and a couch (again, same results). Their system is phenomenal, and costs accordingly *grin again*: I think it was either close up to or over a grand. We were pretty clear we probably would never be able to afford it, and the guy said that was cool. Oh, and if we could give him the names of some folks (ten names), he'd offer them the same cleaning, and so on, and if we gave all 10 names, we'd get a handy hand vacuum. We didn't give any, because we didn't feel at all comfortable with providing names without asking first.

Fast forward to tonight . . . I just got a call . . . they want to clean our stuff again! This might be because of the new house, but I'm not complaining, 'cause there's carpet left here I'd love to see cleaner if at all possible.

So, anyone want some free carpet cleaning? It takes (I'm trying to figure from memory) about an hour to an hour and a half maybe, the sales pressure was pretty low, and if you feel yourself succumbing, just remember, it's only a vacuum cleaner!

If you're interested, drop me a line, and I'll grab your contact info from you.

My wife and I are packing up to move (not out of the greater-Boston area, though), so I don't have real time to post quite yet . . . but I thought I'd post a link for those who still have a grudge, and others who want to see how far video editing has come (please ignore the obnoxious laugh-track).

I keep my mouth shut when ordered to *grin*. But now, the TRUTH can be told ! ! ! !

Today vettecat committed our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor to -

wait a sec., it was just the fortunes part, such as they are *grin* -

We closed on a house.

*glurp*

We're still in the "Greater Boston Metro Area," but our new addy is in the slightly less teeming, slightly less metropolitan, suburban wonderland known as Malden.

We're truly sorry to leave our local friends, but look forward to the new ones we already know, and those who will grow on us.

And, to Hosting Parties!!!! And Visitors!

Yay!

I HAD To Take It . . . [Mar. 2nd, 2007|12:05 pm]
Solomon Davidoff
I HAD to . . . vettecat did . . . and yes, I WAS sweating the results while answering a large variety of very, shall we say, eclectic questions . . . *grin*.

But here are my results . . .

 
The Slow Dancer
Deliberate Gentle Love Dreamer (DGLDm)

    Steady, reliable, and cradling her tenderly. Take a deep breath, and let it out real easy...you are The Slow Dancer.

    Your focus is love, not sex, and for your age, you have average experience. But you're a great, thoughtful guy, and your love life improves every year. There's also a powerful elimination process working in your favor: most Playboy types get stuck raising unwanted kids before you even begin settling down. The women left over will be hot and yours. Your ideal woman is someone intimate, intelligent, and very supportive.

Your exact opposite:
The Hornivore

Random Brutal Sex Master
    While you're not exactly the life of the party, you do thrive in small groups of smart people. Your circle of friends is extra tight and it's HIGHLY likely they're just like you. You appreciate symmetry in relationships.

R.I.P. - Dave Alway [Jan. 11th, 2007|11:19 am]

Rest In Peace, Dave Alway. Dave Alway's LJ Pic


Dave tnatj was, to me, one of those incredible friends who you can see only once or twice a year, chat with, and feel the years slip away instantly. Sadly, though I had known him for over 10 years, I don't believe I ever saw him outside of fan conventions.

When I began my work on filk for the Masters, one of the first cons I went to was OVFF. Here I was, a fan, but a newbie to Fandom and very much a Newbie to the filk community. I think Dave sat up with me for about 3-5 hours in the Con Suite that first night, chatting about filk and filk history. Keep in mind, I wasn't an established scholar in any way . . . just an annoying guy with LOTS of silly questions. And for Dave, even though OVFF comes by but once per year, and I'm sure there were friends he only saw there, he sat and chatted with me. That was the first of many long, and sadly far too many short, chats I had with Dave.

I will miss all I never knew about him, but cherish all I do.
