trina
I’ve blogged about her before, but now that I’ve set up a Flickr account, you can expect more pics of my cat Trina. This pic was taken at least 7 years ago but it’s my favorite. She’s got such a smirk on her face!
Handbook for Bloggers and Cyber-Dissidents
Missed this way back in September but thought I should link to it now. [PDF] I was at Harvard the day Global Voices/Bloggers without Borders began writing their manifesto, so I am looking forward to spending more time reading now that I have less than 10 days left at my job!
EFF
I know Bitch PhD has linked to this but I also read about it on the Berkman site. Go here to read more about the Electronic Frontier Foundation. Support Bloggers’ Rights!

Been biking a lot with Andy and found this page with more trails to explore.
My Pal Preston
Quite the prolific blogger and even blogging during his law school classes, Preston is a theatre pal of mine from NOLA. We met doing an awful production of Fiddler on the Roof. I was 16 and there was a shortage of male dancers so me and my girls had to don beards and mustaches to [...]
feeling groovy
In better spirits as the countdown to my last day at the editing gig begins. I turn in the letter of resignation tomorrow so wish me luck. I’ve been getting a lot of medical appointments out of the way which makes me miss my NOLA doctors. These Tampa folks aren’t as warm and welcoming. My [...]
more NOLA tears
I write this after having had a long cry about New Orleans, missing my cat Trina, thinking about my work situation and feeling like an academic slacker. I know it’s impossible to do it all, but I keep pushing myself and now I’m on little sleep and just so frustrated I could pull my hair [...]
Love that chicken from Popeye's
I have been having my own cravings for some good ol’ Popeye’s chicken, but after reading this, I think I’d feel guilty getting some now. As the blogger notes: New Orleans gave the world Popeye’s. We nurtured it like a loving mother and then set it free, where it warmed the hearts and bellies of [...]
Andy loves Daisy so much that…
he’s blogging now! Actually, it’s a class requirement for him, but I will try to bring him on to the dark side…
so much for everyone else is doing it…
According to Teen People, a Catholic school in NJ is threatening to suspend students for blogging! Effective immediately, students at a Catholic school in Sparta, New Jersey face suspension if they keep personal pages or blogs on popular websites like MySpace.com. Reverend Kieran McHugh, the principal of Pope John XIII Regional High School, shocked 900 [...]
new found appreciation for academic freedoms
My top 6 lessons learned from going corporate 6 months ago (AKA reasons I should resign soon): 1. I despise commuting–until someone figures out a way I can blog from the car, I’m over sitting in my car for at least an hour in the morn and sometimes 2 on the way home. It’s Tampa, [...]
