Done with HighEdWebDev for this year. SO much fun. SO exhausted now. I really love that conference. Now at CherryCon. After changing back to Central time for my O'Hare layover, I somehow missed the fact that Cincinnati is back in Eastern. I cannot tell you how screwed up my … [Read more...] about I love traveling.

Banned Books Week
It's Banned Books Week! Other blogs are doing a great job of linking to and reviewing various banned books, so I'll just take the opportunity to link to the Banned Books Bracelet, a gift I got from Lisa last year that's become my favorite piece of jewelry. … [Read more...] about Banned Books Week
