A lotta grief, instructions to go sit quietly in a corner, an’ repeated imprecations on your dodder-hood!
It was only about one ton, or maybe half a ton; I can’t remember how much a cubic yard of stuff weighs. I did a goodly amount of hauling, shoveling, and spreading a bunch of gravel and dirt with […]
. . . we have an astonishment for your amusement!
Check this out.
You heard it first here: Computational textiles rock. (But no, I will not be making this thing. )
If I could figure out how to embed the video, I would. (Doesn’t say much for my geekiness, does it?!?)

It seemed a little weird, like, “Oh, I’m so happy to be in your program, somebody will finally let me die!” But she was […]
Met with Grandma and her doctor today about her very, very sore shoulder (separated AC, possibly torn rotator cuff) and an infected owie on her leg. We decided to call in a hospice consult and not give Grandma antibiotics. This means she may kick the infection on her own… or she may not. If not, […]
