My father loved gadgets. He was always tinkering with something and was always upgrading his electronics to some new specification. Is it any wonder that I married such a handy husband? Men love futzing around with stuff. Sometimes they have daughters and then you’ve got women like to mess around with projects too. I am […]

I am a huge science fiction nerd. I love reading it, I love it in television format, I will even tolerate it in movie format. I’m one of those insufferable Star Trek people who vaguely dislikes Star Wars. I’m just a big nerd in that irritating millennial sincerity way. To give you some contours to […]
I have made a little bit of a side hustle out of being at Cassandra. There was a lovely chunk of time in between Hurricane Sandy and the pandemic when people felt as if the weirdness was contained. It was quirky. It was novel to know people who had decided to make changes in their […]

Day 1701 and USS Enterprise (NCC 1701-D)
I have mentioned I’m a fan of Star Trek a few times. I am a genuine fan of the original series, the Next Generation and Deep Space 9 as well as many of the movies. Gene Roddenberry pitched it as space cowboys but it’s become a template for entire generations for what competence in the […]

Day 1554 and Complex Coordination
I’ve never been much for listening to music while I do work. I’ve always found it distracting if not downright annoying. I don’t really believe I’m capable of multitasking. If a task requires my focus and coordination it will get the sum of it. I’m not convinced anyone is particularly good at it if the […]

Day 1436 and The Voyage Home
Like many fans of Star Trek, I am not at all ashamed of my affection for one of science fictions greatest franchises. I’m proud to love it. When I visit San Francisco I like to rewatch the classic original series movie from 1986 “Star Trek: The Voyage Home” which is affectionately known as the whale […]
We have arrived at Election Eve in America. It’s a bit tense online and in the media, but there is a palpable feeling of relief that the day is finally upon us. That relief dissipates as rapidly as morning mist on a sunny day as the one contemplates the range of possibilities. No one has […]
