Tales from the Geek Vest: May 2012
http://actuallylet.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Tales from the Geek Vest. Wednesday, May 30, 2012. I'm going through one of my semi-regular phases right now: My house scares me. Not the studs, wires or concrete. It's taken five years, but Supportive Partner Man (wielder of many tools! With the occasional able assistance of our versatile local handyman, Rob - has gotten a decent handle on the physical plant of Chez T, which was in wide disrepair the day we moved in. No, it's the stuff. In my house that has me shaking in my slippers. The din is overwhel...

Tales from the Geek Vest: February 2013
http://actuallylet.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Tales from the Geek Vest. Saturday, February 23, 2013. Requiem for a Saturday morning. Aunt Betty and her youngest niece, May 1992. Feb 23, 2013. Dearest Aunt Betty,. You've missed so very much. And you yourself are missed even more. Every day, in every way. By so many of us. As I sit here in the home office writing this note to you — how many little notes did you send me over the years? I just really, really, REALLY miss you. I miss your take-charge, can-do attitude. Over the years people have told ...

Tales from the Geek Vest: June 2012
http://actuallylet.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Tales from the Geek Vest. Friday, June 29, 2012. Lifestyles of the flossing- and cleaning-challenged. I survived 30 minutes on the elliptical, at a fairly good clip. And I actually feel pretty good today. Guess that means I'll keep going back. Just not today. Today's challenges are a bit different in nature, though I'll likely get my heart rate up with the latter. The first is already in the books: Supportive Partner Man (out bringing home the bacon! It's reached I-can't-take-it-anymore critical mass.

Tales from the Geek Vest: Who?
http://actuallylet.blogspot.com/2012/08/who.html
Tales from the Geek Vest. Wednesday, August 22, 2012. Making the rounds on the InterTubez is a little video PSA that I find quite relevant. It has nothing to do with either idiot politicians spouting nonsense about science, or cute kittehs/puppehs/bunnehs (though I'm never opposed to the latter). No, this has to do with one of the great science fiction dynasties of our time. So why, you ask, am I Who-ing it up today? Plus, there's that PSA I mentioned earlier:. The idea is to have existing Who geeks R...

Tales from the Geek Vest: April 2012
http://actuallylet.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Tales from the Geek Vest. Monday, April 23, 2012. Get busy readin', or get busy tryin'. I've got books on the brain today. For two entirely different reasons. The first is more pleasant, so we'll have a go at that to start, shall we? They have to rely on their own sense of salesmanship, as it were, to hook people. Or perhaps visit your local library system's home on the Web. And it seems to me that the only thing dirty about this character is, well, the accumulated grime on his person. This is the origin...

Tales from the Geek Vest: Short, but not so sweet
http://actuallylet.blogspot.com/2012/09/short-but-not-so-sweet.html
Tales from the Geek Vest. Monday, September 3, 2012. Short, but not so sweet. Good heavens. My activity on the blogging front lately has oddly paralleled my general activity over the past few days. It's been out-and-out flat. A little difficulty I've lived with for years recently decided to rear its ugly head. No, I'm not talking about Supportive Partner Man (willing headbanger! His de facto bro Mike and their odd Night Ranger fixation, either. I felt a muscle in the left mid-back twist and utterly seize.

Tales from the Geek Vest: BlogHer: Postmortem '12
http://actuallylet.blogspot.com/2012/08/blogher-postmortem-12.html
Tales from the Geek Vest. Sunday, August 12, 2012. A week and a day have gone by since the whirl of gaiety that was my inaugural BlogHer outing. There's always next year. Honestly, I began writing this post a couple of times only to find myself blocked. Still processing, I guess. All the while, I've been reading a host of other wrapups and recaps, some positive, some negative. Perhaps I'm just not trying hard enough, but I can't summon up any rage to speak of. The Manhattan skyline at dusk, during. Pleas...

Tales from the Geek Vest: Yoga of the Tuesday
http://actuallylet.blogspot.com/2012/08/yoga-of-tuesday.html
Tales from the Geek Vest. Tuesday, August 21, 2012. Yoga of the Tuesday. I have stood up to my fear and spit in its eye. My fear, meanwhile, seems to be taking out its frustrations on my knees. It's sort of like a sweaty circle of life. A few posts ago. I wrote about stepping up my efforts at the gym. I'm happy to report I continue to progress. Elliptical, treadmill and weight machines all are integrated into my routine now. Is described by my gym as:. And it will. Honestly, I was very pleasantly sur...
