We in the Washington, DC, area have broken our total winter snowfall record, and it’s only Feb. 11. Right now we stand at 55.9 inches, far beyond our season average of 10.4 inches. (And at the moment, Baltimore’s 79.9 is beating Syracuse at 75.9 and Rochester at 63.9, according to Golden Snow Globe.) Yesterday, just [...]

Snow is lovely, and shoveling can be fun. But I draw the line at storms that dump more snow after one has already cleared it away three times in 24 hours. Just saying. The flakes should stop, at least, while one is actively clearing them away. And DC, for sure, should never need to use [...]

We are in final edits on a cute little video showing some of the fun stuff people do to celebrate Brain Awareness Week, which this year will be March 15–21. It’s my first foray into video-making since the early 1980s, and I am quite a bit rusty, so this will be an “unauthorized” version, but [...]
This is down our street 12 hours after the 24+ hours of snow stopped (4 pm, Sunday, 12.20.2009). No driving today! The car at the corner turned back and didn’t come down the street. Taking advantage of the camera’s POV. Cleo is tired from a day of running from window to window.

I’m all about the video, for one more week. (24,000 words to go! 5 more days! Ack!) This is fun-zooming animation; next will be a very different zooming animation. Trillions from MAYAnMAYA on Vimeo.

I am still very busy, trying to get to 85,000 words by Nov. 30. It will be a squeaker, but I’m really hoping to get to the end of the story (and hoping that it’s around 85k). Last year, I wrote 60,000 words in November, but that got me only 7/8 through the story. I [...]
I am very busy writing, but I had to take ten minutes out to watch this whole video. That’s how I know you should start at the 0:40 mark and stop when she starts talking about the monkey–unless you need a pep talk, then keep going.
