Potholes on the information superhighway
I am a parent of two great kids (ages 14 and 3), husband, and law student. I've also been a lighting/sound technician, elementary librarian, archivist, Muzak installer, convenience store clerk, and Tony the Tiger. This is where I'll write whatever strikes me as interesting. Hope you find it interesting too.

Alright - have laptop. Life without was driving me insane. Fighting with undergrads for computer, and fighting at home with son and wife was too much. Being on a budget, I bought used off eBay, and came up with this. It’s the same laptop I had issued to me at School 43 as the librarian. I abused that poor machine for three years, and it just kept on ticking. It was also the laptop in the lab carts, which the students abused mercilessly for the last few years. So I figure it’s a good bet to hold up for at least a couple of years. But it hopefully means I’ll post a bit more regularly. I’ve got a few things I want to mention, and I’ll try cross-posting at my Facebook page as well to see if that works out. It seems to be the usual way many people are posting.
