I stumbled (through Google Reader’s blog) today upon Wordle.net, a really awesome (free) site that enables you to imput text from any source (including blogs or webpages) and turn it into dynamic word art pictures with changeable fonts, colors, and styles. I experimented with two different texts. The first was Martin Luther King, Jr.’s “I [...]

Almost done…

My computer is officially driving me nuts. I’ve wanted to murder it quite a number of times. Despite its shiny screen and the cute-seeming façade it puts up… it’s really crappy. No memory, no hard drive space — crap, and in the useless, outdated way. Hell, just to write this I’ve had several freeze-ups [...]

Luckily that’s double-spaced.
But really — wow! I’m shocked (pleasantly so) that I’ve managed to get 76 pages. Peggy said to me this morning, “You should trim some from the ‘dragons’ section,” and I thought, “Trim? Wha? Why?” Well. Heh. I haven’t even written a good chunk of the other theoretical part of the thesis and [...]
