Geeky Knitting

Thanks to Geeky User Quiara, I think I am going to knit my Toddler Overlord Ganon his very own striped hat, with stripes based on a Fibonacci sequence. Oooooh yeah. Geekery. Continue

I know I'm not the only one on this list who remembers elementary/high school PE as torture. Hated it. I wasn't overweight until after college, but in high school I was also not athletic. I was an intellectual; I didn't have a single competitive bone in my whole body. I didn't give a rip about basketball, I hated dodgeball because I wore glasses, I despised running because it was boring. In short: I disliked everything they offered in an attempt to make me more active. What did that do? It made… Continue

Arkansas Student Nurses Association Conference 2008

I want to write down a few things about the Arkansas Student Nurses Association conference before I forget them. Some of you follow my Twitter, and were alarmed at my tweet that some people were laughing during the focus group on burns. It's not as bad as that sounds: the presenter made the point that burns as a rule are accidental and usually preventable. "For example," he said, "It is extremely unlikely that today you will sustain 3rd degree burns while wearing a banana suit." Then he clicked… Continue

Liking it around here

So I'm really digging this website. It's a lot of fun & interaction, but I'm thinking about something: there has to be a way to view a timeline of my friends' activities! On FB that's a "news feed" or whatever. There's a public one on the front page, but there has to be a way to limit that. Anyone figured that out yet? Continue

Doctor's Visit

We took Ganon to the doctor this afternoon. A whole week of puking & diarrhea is a bit much for anyone to handle, so we decided to err on the side of caution. Err it was, because all the doctor could tell us is to try and keep him hydrated and to wait it all out. At least he's not very sick, according to Dr. Johnson. The doctor said he was "reassured" by Ganon's behavior, which in this case meant very happy & playful until someone tried to use an otoscope or a tongue depressor on him, an… Continue

Chris Pirillo

I feel like I'm coming out of the closet, making this statement, but here goes. As of the time I got the invite to this community, I had no idea who Chris Pirillo was. I had heard the name before, probably by virtue of being on the internet most of my time, but I didn't know why I should know that or what he was known for. In fact, I'm about to go Wikipedia him right now so I can stop feeling so out of the loop. But I just got a 95 on my Health Assessment return. That was difficult, and that i… Continue
