Google Galore

Monday, September 8th, 2003 · 3 Comments

Saturday night was wedding #4 of the year for Jen and me (including our own, of course). It was Karen and Bill’s reception at a beautiful location in Santa Rosa. They actually got married about a week before Jen and I did — in Hawaii — so this was the local celebration for a much […]

PowerBook G4

Sunday, September 7th, 2003 · Comments Off on PowerBook G4

It’s official, but a bit unreal: Jen and I just purchased our first Mac together, a refurbished PowerBook G4 (867MHz 12″ model). I was glad to find this past week that the great deal on the refurb, which I first wrote about in this posting, came back after not being available for a couple weeks. […]

It seems that misc.vassar.edu is back online! Content, no. Archives, no. But the server, yes. That’s a start. Way to go, current info tech editor who’s behind this, whoever you may be!

Equal Marriage Rights

Friday, September 5th, 2003 · Comments Off on Equal Marriage Rights

Siva Vaidhyanathan has an excellent assessment of exactly how Jen and I have felt since getting married: “We exchanged our vows before a justice of the peace of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. And as a result, we get to benefit from the rights and privileges that Massachusetts grants married couples. And, thanks to our Constitution, […]

Democracy in Action

Friday, September 5th, 2003 · Comments Off on Democracy in Action

From Howard Dean’s Blog for America: “I am bowled over by the more than 150,000 people who have donated to my cause. By making an average contribution of $86, those 150,000 people have demonstrated that they have the power to match George W. Bush’s corporate contributors if they come together to create an unstoppable political […]

Furry Alarm Clock

Friday, September 5th, 2003 · Comments Off on Furry Alarm Clock

Stella Brie Neorxenawange. Brown. Stells. Stellie. Wang. Wanga. Malamute. Huge. The list goes on. The latest, well-earned addition: Stella “Furry Alarm Clock” A_nderson. She’s been working hard over the past several weeks for that one. This morning, as usual, it was the tail thumping on the bed and the wet nose on the arm. But […]
