Better late….

So, I just realized… I never did blog about my trip to Montreal.  Or, rather, I did, just not in this space.  Actually, I forgot I’d even mentioned it here.  Thus the difficulties of alter-ego management.  Which “you” said what where?  LOL  Anyway, “Steorling” wrote about it and linked video on her blog..and since I [...]

AAAAARGH.

Not the piraty kind of argh….this is the “Lucy just pulled the football yet AGAIN” kind of argh…..anguish, gnashing teeth, immediate chocolate cravings, solace seeking.  Somedays…*sigh*

Internet Tools Workshop

Well, this was a blast. Not only was it a great review for the technologies I’d already encountered earlier in the summer, but it covered a lot of new ground as well.
