Another Good Day, and a Resolution
The whole Burd clan got together for some Christmas light viewing tonight, and Wheeling’s Oglebay Park did not disappoint.? Once again, pictures will be coming at the beginning of the year. Looking at my weekly schedule for next semester, I … Continue reading

Halfway There
Unsecured home wireless networks are great. I’m sitting here in Washington, PA, in my brother-in-law’s house, sponging the neighbor’s Internet.? He’s having another brother-in-law install a wireless network some time soon, but in the meantime, thank you, neighbor. The Indiana … Continue reading

How Obsessive Am I?
We take off for Indiana early tomorrow morning. Do you think I’ll blog on the road? I’m not sure myself yet, but if I don’t post between now and then, I do wish all my readers a Merry Christmas, and … Continue reading

Bring out the GIMP
I fiddled around with GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) a bit yesterday, and it’s got everything that I use on Photoshop. Once again, it’s amazing how a global community of geeks with vaguely socialistic leanings can design programs as good … Continue reading

The Check is in the Mail
Maybe not, but the semester is over at any rate. I’ve tucked my freshmen’s grades away in the registrar’s computer, and I’ve got next semester’s classes loaded into WebCT. Now I can study, clean, pack, and perhaps even relax a … Continue reading

An Angelic Finale
I’ve posted the last of the Sunday school handouts on the Angels page.? I don’t claim to say anything systematic about angels’ appearances in the grand sweep of what Adorno calls the culture industry; I just picked out some interesting … Continue reading

Making my Way
I finished up double-grading yesterday afternoon, and now the semester is officially over. I’ve still got three weekdays to work (Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday–Mary’s got Wednesday off, so I’ll likely be helping her to clean and to pack) before we … Continue reading

One down, one to go
I hate double-grading.? Some time yesterday afternoon, when I had submitted my own last paper to my religion professor, and having finished grading all of my own freshman portfolios, I should have been done for the semester.? As it stands, … Continue reading

New Toy
Our digital camera eating batteries at the rate of four per hour, Mary decided to get me a new digital camera for Christmas. Since she wasn’t confident picking out a good one, we picked one out of Sunday’s newspaper circulars … Continue reading

The more AM radio I hear…
the more inclined I am towards the DNC.? Of course, then I log on to credoaction.com or some other DNC-affiliated web site, and I start to see the frustrations of the GOP.? I’m not surprised that I tend to be … Continue reading

A Book I Might Get from the Library Some Day
“How Bobby Fischer and Boris Spassky became pawns” I am one of those nerds who reads book reviews, and White King and Red Queen might be a leisure read for me some time soon. I figure I’ve got until about … Continue reading

One down, One to go
I’m now at the halfway point on portfolios, having graded twenty and having twenty yet to grade. I have to have these little boogers to the next teacher by Tuesday at 6:00, so I’m on a great pace. I’ve also … Continue reading

Portfolios, day two
I’m now almost finished with one FYC section, and I’ve been pleased overall.? I think the deadline caught some of them by surprise, but in some happy cases the portfolios exhibit real development of thought.? Barring disaster, I should finish … Continue reading

Portfolios
I’ve crossed the ten-mark, and I’m chugging along.? The prose is typical freshman comp stuff; I’ve done as good a job as I’ve done in the past on the technical end of things.? On the revision exhibits, I really think … Continue reading
