- been incoomunicado. I had to finish up another draft of my thesis. Turned it in last night. Whew. #
- How to bring web 2.0 techniques into the classroom http://tinyurl.com/ynlxtt #
- @AcmePhoto I just bought a new (used) car last weekend that alerts me about my tire pressure. I *love* that! :-) #
- @fredvw Yikes. That would drive me nuts. Plus, if that didn’t work, what else wouldn’t work? #
- @AcmePhoto Yeah. I just came from a *very* manual car (no computers at all) so I can’t imagine that I won’t be checking anyway. :-) #
- breathing a bit easier today. I’m going to watch The Spiderwyck Chronicles w/ niece and nephews today. Yay! #

speaking up
Feb 15th
This video amuses me. The language that is used is highly inflammatory on both sides of the argument. Plus, I loved Molly Ivins. She was a brilliant, articulate woman who wasn’t afraid to speak her mind.
A commentor on the video mentions that Texas has amended its laws:
A federal appeals court has overturned a Texas statute outlawing sex toy sales, leaving Alabama as the state with the strictest ban on such devices.
The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the Texas law making it illegal to sell or promote obscene devices, punishable by up to two years in jail, violated the Constitution’s 14th Amendment on the right to privacy.
I fear Chisum will be heartbroken…

v-day
Feb 14th
Eve Ensler was on the Today Show this morning talking about The Vagina Monologues. The first time I saw them, nine years ago, I was in the second row, in a small theater on campus, feeling overwhelmed by the powerful words being presented on the stage. I was in a lost place in my life and hearing other women take their power and use it for themselves was a great message to hear.
I will be in NOLA the weekend before this. I wish I could stay and attend the event. I think it would be a once-in-a-lifetime event.

This is my contribution to Valentine’s Day. Some of these pierce the heart while others make me smile.
I wish you all much love and happiness, not only today, but everyday.
