Client: “My computer is frozen!”
Me: “What screen is it frozen on?”
Client: “The first screen, where it says push ctrl+alt+del to log in. I can move the mouse around, but when I push those buttons it does nothing”
Me: “Is your keyboard plugged in?”
Client: “No, It’s a wireless keyboard”
Me: “Have you changed the batteries?”

Updates, soon.
Holy crap. I’ve really neglected not just this blog, but my other social outlets as well. Foursquare is down, Flickr Pro account is expired, and who knows what else. Some one remind me to get on that: stat.
No sex on campus?
there is an increasing phenomenon of unlikely bedfellows opting out: Catholic and Muslim women. These women of faith are increasingly allied in searching for a different way to live out their college tenure than from dorm room to dorm room. And they are finding that despite theological differences that run deep, shared perspectives about modesty, chastity, and dignity run deeper.
Interesting approach to genuine ecumenism that is bottom-up, ad hoc, and more genuine than the feigned platitudes that pass for dialogue these days in most circles.
Quality family time.

This fall I will move on the doctoral degree—because being a student is better than being unemployed—and I want to move the blog to a different site. This URL will soon be a landing page with links to my personal and professional websites.
Until then, I’m just glad to be finished with the thesis. It took its pound of flesh from me, but it was also a project that I am glad I stuck with to the end.
