If someone told me I would hunt down a way to embed a player in a post, I would tell them they're nuts! However, I saw this playlist of British actors from Tom Hiddleston to Richard Armitage reading selections from literature, then discovered I could embed it in a post. Perfect Midweek Geekiness, I thought. … Continue reading A Midweek Geekiness Goes Awry

Allow Me To (Re)introduce Myself
Ever have one of those intentions then the universe, whatever you believe in, decides to pop up and say 'here's a little hand'. Today proved to be one of those days.

Google Reader Soon Goes Good Bye

I looked at the two badges for 2013 (Post Everyday and Post Every Week) trying to make up my mind what's more realistic. … Continue reading Tuning Into a Frequency

Any person, even … Continue reading A Comedy of Errors

I postponed a few entries namely a Blog Spotlight and a Midweek Geekiness. (Does that make it a Post-Post Midweek Geekiness?) I know it's not a paying gig and this blog is something I enjoy. I have a raft-load of work washing ashore on my desk, plus the clock ticks until my big trip to Alberta. … Continue reading Topsy-Turvy Schedule Juggling
Pull Back and Regroup
They say spring turns every young person's fancy towards love, but it also turns a person's fancy towards cleaning. By 'cleaning' it's not just the dust, but the irresistible urge to go into various internet accounts and tweak them. I checked my Goodreads account and want to add some 'shelves' and add more titles. I … Continue reading Pull Back and Regroup
