iTunes, You are a Genius
In case you haven’t allowed your iTunes to update its smart-self to the voluptuous version 8, I suggest you do it. Now. I just figured out how wonderful is the Genius Bar in iTunes 8. I picked one song from my library, and bllezzzam! iTunes creates me a playlist from my library on the basis […]

Waiting for Holga
I’m patiently waiting for 5 rolls of my Holga prints to return from Dwayne’s Photo land in Kansas. I know that at least two of those rolls are of my old square from Portugal in black/white. They could turn out all duff, they could be wonderful. I just have to wait. Until then, let it […]

Re: Abortion / Poverty
“New and compelling studies make the clear connection between abortion and poverty, with fully three-fourths of the women who have abortions saying that they just couldn’t afford to have the child. It will be a great day when both poverty reduction and abortion reduction become non-partisan issues and bipartisan causes.” –Jim Wallis God’s Politics Blog

Betty and Aaron
In my Ethics class this morning, Dr. Dufault-Hunter talked about virtue ethics and the way our character develops. She told a story from her church community about Betty and Aaron. Betty and Aaron were both widowers who married in their 80s. In their consummate cuteness, they decided to celebrate their anniversaries every month because they […]

Plodting Mc – Cain
I tried this new thing called Plodt today as I Tweeted the Debate. It let me rate McCain and Obama between 1-10 at different parts of the debate, and then my rating showed up in real time on this cute graph. Then, my answers were also plodted on a happy graph of everyone else Tweeting […]

Absence Confessions / I Twitter / Debate 08
Well, hello. I’ve come back home to blogging. I have been absent. Life has been whacky-packed-y. But, I must confess. In my WordPressed absence, I found Twitter. Twitter is a room for blinged-out status-updates. Twitter makes you think in no more than 140 characters at a time. It is an interesting new place for […]

I Think I Need a Bailout Plan
Post-work and post-class today, I crashed and accidentally napped through the debates. The second week of another quarter at Fuller and clearly I’m a bit behind on some things. Oh, Apple Mail geniuses…can’t you make me a widget to bail me out of this mess? I’m not asking for golden parachutes. I might not be […]

I Remember Tambourines As Freedom
I remember learning at a very young age–via tambourines, churchy things, and Mama–that God likes it when we are uninhibited. I learned it first when talking/singing/dancing to Jesus. But now I also see it as a breathing proverb that stretches out lengthily through our days. (Photo of Mute Math by Rico Moran)

I Remember Making “the Switch”
I remember saying in the days and months following 9/11 that I wanted to design a t-shirt. It would read: “Gas ain’t cheap, honey, but this country is fueled by fear.” It bothered me. (Those were the days when gas was cheap, and Americans overused it as much as we do today.) I remembering strongly […]

I Remember the Early Days of Summer Holidays
I remember our summer holidays to Cape Cod and Martha’s Vineyard. Our small family of three would buzz down the Mass Pike from Albany, in our old Oldsmobile. To my 4 year old senses it always felt like a 29 hour trip. I remember the heinous orange interior of the early ’80s beach houses we […]
