On campus it was natural when things were sort of quiet to … hop on the blog. From home I’m drawn to things like the dishes (which is odd; I’m not drawn to cleaning my *office* with down time)… I’m doing things that don’t highlight my strengths, shall we say: managing information. I’m the one […]

Yesterday I got out of the building *just* after six (when my workday ends Tuesdays), b/c the fire alarm was insisting we depart.

So I visited Canvas b/c hey, I could get a new badge about “rogues” and — they actually, at their conference, had a lively discussion of users who aren’t employees or anything, but just contribute a lot and answer a lot of questions. (Some had fewer user points than I do, but … asking […]
