    Halloween For The Childfree

    October 31, 2014 - By ginny

    “Here’s your candy. Now go away and leave some for the little ones.” Later on I’ll stick a battery powered lantern under there so it glows.

    Liberal Christian Urges Kirk Cameron To Mind His Own Beeswax About Cherished Holiday Traditions

    October 25, 2014 - By ginny

    Former child actor and current talentless hack Kirk Cameron has taken upon himself to save Christmas from Christians that he doesn’t consider to be Christian enough, and from everyone else that is of any other persuasion, too. Because only Kirk Cameron’s Christmas is the righteous, holy, and most Jesus-y one, apparently. And now with seasonal Halloween, too! Can’t wait for the inevitable Thanksgiving video, with a working title of “SATAN is at ur tabel, eatin ur turkiy,” because cognitive dissonance is always such a hoot. Like other Christianist loudmouths (and Bill O’Reilly, who’s just a loudmouth) the One True Christmas…

    Social Media 2 Blog – work in progress

    September 24, 2014 - By ginny

    Still trying to get SM2WP working, after deactivating/reactivating it’s now logging attempted imports, so… yay? I may need to look at the Google API that I created to make sure I set it up right.

    Deblogging: It’s Like Debugging, But With Words

    September 23, 2014 - By ginny

    It’s been such a long time since I’ve written anything about the goings-on here at Chez Gique. Why? I’ve been putting stuff off, and avoiding my desktop computer, and not using the laptop because it seems really slow and pokey now, and a whole host of reasons. The backlog of Stuff I Need To Do and the backlog of Stuff I Should Blog About is just… enormous, and the tools at my disposal (newish iPhone, newish iPad mini) are usually being used for important stuff like reading about someone doing something worng on the Internets, or playing Minion Rush. So…

    The flags go down to mark the end of the SL11B Community Celebration

    July 5, 2014 - By ginny

    After a week of amazing events (which included three stages of 24/7 music and the Auditorium which hosted a range of fascinating talks and displays) and then another week to explore the wonderful builds, the SL11B Community Celebration comes to an end at midnight SLT today, Saturday 5th. And the flags that have been flying […] from Prim Perfect http://ift.tt/1qZeoVW via IFTTT

    Today I Am Nine (in Second Life Years)

    July 5, 2014 - By ginny

    July 5th. Carl Metropolitan’s rezday. I’ve been in Second Life on and off for nine years now. Seven of those nine years were spent running new resident help organizations, first NCI from 2005 to 2009, and then Caledon Oxbridge from 2009 to 2012. Now I just run trivia games on Tuesdays and putter about Oxbridge and annoy the Lindens about fixing the new user experience. See you all next year! from Offend Everyone http://ift.tt/1qZem0m via IFTTT

    The Drax Files : World Makers Really Are Good Documentaries About Second Life

    July 5, 2014 - By ginny

    Rock, Paper, Shotgun is not a publication that devotes much time to Second Life. They are mostly a PC Gaming publication. They did interview Rod Humble, but that seemed to be more to do with his background with Electronic Arts and The Sims, more than it was to do with Second Life. However this week […] from Ciaran Laval http://ift.tt/1oazRHR via IFTTT

  • Insurance season is almost over, thank Dog

    Avoid health sharing plans, they're not that great a deal. A friend had one while getting some pretty serious treatment, and he struggled to get the care he needed.

    Elisabeth Yoder and her son Darragh recently experienced a huge gap in their health care "coverage." They stand in  front of the family home, and they belong to a Christian "health sharing" plan that didn't reimburse for a recent ambulance ride.

  • Charm Patch Quilt: On Point

    From Sew Can She - this looks like a great way to use up charm squares and scraps that can be at least 4 1/2-5 inches square. The contrast fabric and on-point arrangement add good visual interest without being too busy.

  • Tea Towel Hems

    Bought some tea towels for gifts, looking for tutorials for adding colorful hanging cuffs after hemming.

    I lean toward Method 1, mitred corners. Will decide once the towels arrive in case the selvage edges are good quality.

  • Sorry About The Mess: Trump Wrecking World Economy

    Post: He’s nuts if he thinks manufacturers will move to the US; they like paying rock bottom non-union wages and they’ll pass the higher costs to American consumers. Lose-lose! What can possibly go wrong?

    Since he lives in his own bubble universe, I’m wondering how long his big donors, the few relatively sane conservatives in Congress, and his “IKEA cabinet” will hold out until the murmurs behind the scenes become screaming fights in the Oval Office.

    Spine of steel? Nope. Skull of rock.

    Maury Povich lie detector meme: It says here… Trump is as dumb as a box of rocks.

    Global economy rocked again as rates on imports to the US from dozens of trading partners rose further, with China hit by 104% tariffs

  • Now Listening: Joni Mitchell | Black Crow

    Joni Mitchell album cover Black Crow. A woman is superimposed over an empty road that leads into her silhouette.

    Text:

     

    ”Black Crow - There's a crow flying Black and ragged Tree to tree He's black as the highway that's leading me Now he's diving down To pick up on something shiny I feel like that black crow Flying In a blue sky I took the ferry to the highway Then I drove to a pontoon plane I took a plane to a taxi And a taxi to a train I've been traveling so long How'm I ever gonna know my home When I see it again I'm like a black crow flying In a blue blue sky In search of love and music My whole life has been Illumination Corruption And diving diving diving diving Diving down to pick up on every shiny thing Just like that black crow flying In a blue sky I looked at the morning After being up all night I looked at my haggard face in the bathroom light I looked out the window And I I saw that ragged soul take flight I saw a back crow flying In a blue sky Oh I'm like a black crow flying In a blue sky”
