Dramatis persona*

helenhead Helen Chick

I've always wanted a bumper sticker that said "I'm a female, LDS/Mormon, Scout leading, geocaching, piano-playing, bicycling, mathematics educator with a PhD in maths ... and I VOTE"!

Londo Mo-llari

To cut a long story short, a few months ago I allowed myself a few side-tracking clicks on a web-page or two and ended up becoming aware of the virtual existence of Lee (whom I am sure also exists in real life). As he puts it, he’s a blogger, social media guy, artist, and pop culturalist […]

‘Tis the season to be putting up and decorating Christmas trees, or so I am told. Discussions during the last couple of days have revealed that work-place trees are appearing, and that families are enacting plans to fill a corner of their lounge-rooms with genuine pine trees or the rather more seasonal […]

200th post, 1000th sp*m

This entry marks the 200th post. Another small milestone in the blogosphere, yielding the statistic of one scintillating blog entry every 2.5 days or so since I started (okay, I’ll admit the bit about “scintillating” doesn’t fall out of that data as such … !).

On the other hand, shortly before writing this entry my spam detector […]
