Being a Caregiver with an Academic Career. By Timothy A. Lepczyk. Be Kind to Yourself. If you know in advance of the semester that you’ll be entering a care situation, then you may be able to reevaluate your syllabi. Are there assignments you can cut without hampering the learning objectives for the course? Can you reorganize when assignments are due so you don’t receive a flood of papers to grade all at once?

LARP-a-Palooza 2015 – Fair Escape
https://fairescape.wordpress.com/2015/07/08/larp-a-palooza-2015
LARPing Thoughts from a LARPer Fair. July 8, 2015. This past weekend, Ye Olde Commons hosted LARP-a-Palooza, I believe the first event for Ye Olde Commons, but hopefully not the last. Is a LARP-dedicated sites in Massachusetts. I believe it used to be a horse riding camp, until it was bought by LARPers, and now it hosts LARPs nearly every single weekend, year long. (I hear it’s booked solid through the end of 2016.). I learned a new game called Skull. I want to try them all! Had lots of great stuff, incl...

Tiny Tiny RSS Open in Background Tab v0.0.1 | Daniel Westermann-Clark
https://danieltwc.com/2013/tiny-tiny-rss-background-tab-v0-0-1
Tiny Tiny RSS Open in Background Tab v0.0.1. I’ve just released my first Chrome extension to the Chrome Web Store, lovingly referred to as Tiny Tiny RSS Open in Background Tab. When Google Reader first announced it was shutting down, I moved to Tiny Tiny RSS. In Tiny Tiny RSS, the standard action for opening links in a new tab also raises the tab, interrupting your consumption of the feeds. You can have a pretty efficient process for reading feeds. This extension is based off of a similar one for Feedly.

August 19, 2016. Retrotechtacular: Lighting the Way for Talkie Pictures with Optical Sound Recording. March 4, 2014. This week’s Retrotechtacular is a 1943 Encyclopædia Britannica film focusing on optical sound reproduction for motion pictures. Both the sound and the images are recorded on film, which is only affected by light. Therefore, the sound waves must be converted to changes in light. Variable Density recording is done with a light valve. Woodhouse Controls Your House, Avoids Danger Zone. Yep, it...

Girl Archaeologist's Blog. Digging, exploring, and poking through dead people's garbage…. Laquo; Home Again, Home Again (or Another Year, Another Season). Hitting the ground running (sort of). March 25, 2015 by GirlArchaeologist. Tuesday was about as productive as I could reasonably have hoped for it to be, which in reality wasn’t very. I seem to be only slightly jet-lagged (hurrah! So I managed to get to sleep around 1 and woke up around 9. Not too shabby, I thought! How I love my sherds! Notify me of n...
