[RANT] I love my iMac, really I do. It initially took some getting used to years ago when we converted, but as with other Apple lovers, we were fully and totally smitten. So stable, so dependable, so reliable, no crashing, no billions of pop-ups... nirvana. I can literally still probably count the times on my hands I actually had to reboot due to being "stuck." A finer operating system has...
Running With Lydiard (Free subscription) | 24/11/2009
Yeah, I'm still running the California International Marathon on December 6, which is just under two weeks from now. My plan to give a weekly rundown obviously didn't pan out, but I wanted folks who somehow kept me in their Bloglines, feeds or whatnot to know I haven't given up. The training definitely changed for this marathon, as my plan to keep strong mileage all the way up to a two to three week...

C. Dale is pondering shutting down his blog . I hope that he doesn't (for my own selfish reasons), but obviously it's his decision to make. Nobody should blog because they feel like it's expected. I sort of understand the feeling, earlier this year I was looking at Cackling Jackal , considering how it evolved and wondering if I wanted to keep doing it. I decided I wanted to do something different and...

Silly Site o' the DayHooray, Bloglines has rediscovered LiveJournal feeds! Now I can catch up on at least a third of my Kultcha blogroll (which I'd taken to following via Google Reader). Speaking of antiquated net hobbies, here's a nice BoingBoing po...
One Louder (Free subscription) | 20/11/2009
Oversharers that we are, Twitter has been asking us "What are you doing?" and we have responded with responses, squeezed into that little box. I don't like having my personality squeezed so. And so I have opted to update my status on Facebook (or both Twitter and FB when I remember) and blog here where people can't tell me to "zip it, lady" part way through a post. Whatever. I...

Originally published at tansyrr.com . You can comment here or there . 32403 / 50000 I’m catching up on the Alan Davies “It’s Up For Grabs Now” football podcast, which is awesome (especially the Alan Davies impersonation of Arsene Wenger – priceless) but sadly this is last week’s episode and features Alan’s list of the 6 players we need to stay fit all season...

I love to find good recipes so I thought I'd share both recipe links and favorite recipe sites today. Just so you know... I'm writing this ahead of time so I can work on the Recommendations list Monday. :) Sally posted her favorite quiche recipe this week... here . I'm going to try it later this week. Stephanie's yummy (and very British) Sticky Toffee Pudding recipe is near the end of this post . It...

Authored by: Francisco Noguera That's right, dear reader. If you've seen it all or expect this post to be about smart phones and non-phone applications, think again. Food for thought today is Nigel Waller's Movirtu , which may well convince you that the end of the phone as we know it is getting close. Before I jump into the details of who Nigel Waller is and what Movirtu is set to achieve, let us...

I’ve been cleaning up my RRS reader Bloglines and came across these videos. I find them both truly inspiring. The Last Lecture – Randy Pausch A very moving and inspiring “last lecture” from Carnegie Mellon Professor Randy Pausch, who (Oct. 23, 1960 – July 25, 2008) gave his last lecture at the university Sept. 18, 2007. Find more [...]

Just got back from the most lovely weekend away. We met up with some other 'green parents' in the forest of dean for a relaxing and fun two days. :) Being surrounded by like minded people in an environment where breastfeeding and tandem feeding, cloth nappies and EC, and gentle parenting are the norm rather than the exception was wonderful! :) I've come away with lots of tips and a renewed enthusiasm...

Joseph Scott has a post on the main WordPress site that explains that they are now supporting the two enhancements that were announced here on October 16. What this means: Now any aggregator that wants instant updates of WordPress sites can have it. It was an issue for complex sites like Google Reader, that's why we enhanced our apps, so they could hook into rssCloud and provide instant updates to...

The other day as I was moving my RSS feeds from Bloglines to Google Reader [1], I checked to see when was the last time I posted. Much to my shock, it had been back in August, and it was about an incident that had happened in July. All this time, I had [...]

I can't believe it's Saturday and the week is behind us. I have no idea what I actually got done this past week but I know it was a lot and I went through it all at about 70 MPH with no rear view mirror. I had projects at the school Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. That really threw me off and left me with little time for anything else. Throw in work, kids activities, getting ready for Halloween,...
