Thoughts on linguistics, languages (learning and teaching), traveling, books, and whatever else catches my attention. Monday, February 19, 2007. Happy Year of the Pig! Yesterday was Chinese New Year, this year ringing in the Year of the Pig. I have enlisted my father's pig, Piggy Sue*, to help us get in the mood to celebrate. Piggy Sue is a working barbecue grill. She was created by Joel Haas. Further information about her construction and features can be found here. Posted by Dana Watson : 9:54 PM :.

Thoughts on linguistics, languages (learning and teaching), traveling, books, and whatever else catches my attention. Saturday, August 30, 2003. I figure I should probably give some explanation of what I'm doing, where I am, and why. It is not inconceivable that some people who read this are not fully aware of my life beyond Japan, Grinnell, or of my obsession all things linguistic. About a month ago, I left Japan (clicky for the year that was). But the idyll had to end, and I eventually made it out of F...

Thoughts on linguistics, languages (learning and teaching), traveling, books, and whatever else catches my attention. Monday, March 05, 2007. Geek Buffet Now Serving! Like many people I know, if given the choice, I prefer to be lazy. But I also like thinking about things and commenting on them, and I don't really have a particularly unifying theme to talk about anymore. So what did I do? I started a group blog, where lots of smart people I know can be lazy and smart at the same time. Dana Goes to Japan.

Thoughts on linguistics, languages (learning and teaching), traveling, books, and whatever else catches my attention. Tuesday, March 30, 2004.

But instead discovered that all of downtown Charlotte is an overcrowded grid of one-way streets with ocassional parking lots that all require the parker to be in possession of $4.25 exactly.

Thoughts on linguistics, languages (learning and teaching), traveling, books, and whatever else catches my attention. Monday, September 29, 2003. Yes, footnotes. There is nothing more distracting or annoying than a huge line, or even a short one, of parenthetical citation. Why can't these linguists just put their citations at the bottom of the page like sane people? Parenthetical comments, whether they contain content or citation. It's so annoying! Footnotes, people. Use footnotes. Links to this post.
