I must admit: winter is getting me down. Not in the "I'm so sad that it's cold" sort of way, but rather a "Meh. Winter. Blerg." sort of way. I'm just having a hard time wanting to do things other than read and watch the Olympics. Blogging apparently is too high stress for me. So, … Continue reading Sensible YA
Author: lcarslibrarian
I probably can't really be an LCARS librarian since I'm stuck in the pre-warp drive for humans early part of the 21st century. Bummer. But if I could be an LCARS librarian I would.

This month I got to interview Elizabeth Ross about her Morris finalist … Continue reading Shameless self promotion

Why passive programming? Because I … Continue reading Passive programming
Two things to read
I'm back from Chicago after a delay of about a day and a half. Here's what the flight boards looked like on Monday when I was trying to leave. All the yellow text is saying, "CANCELLED." Apparently, -30 degree windchill is too cold to fly. Good to know! But I am back and will be … Continue reading Two things to read
