So, I've made plans for the weekend that involve OT. The equation is very different at different stages of my career. This time, I'm doing it because I have coworkers I have no intention of letting down. I'm doing this so that the people who follow me don't have to clean up after me.

I'm not sure how possible this is. In academia, it's relevant and important to track citations of papers. And it's easier because academic publications have standardized formats and established standards for integrity that require those citations. Fiction is another animal entirely. How many hat […]

I am sitting on the toilet with my pants around my ankles. There's a kitten sitting in them. There will be no pictures. This will simply have to remain theatre of the mind.

Again, it isn't #Caturday. However, kittens can't read calendars and wouldn't care if they could. Those pads are on the bed to handle some issues with one of the adult cats, not the kittens. I draw your attention to the pink item to the right. It's an […] [Original post on social.linux.pizza]

No, it isn't #Caturday here or anywhere on the planet. Nonetheless I find myself subject to the whims of a cat. I got comfortable on my futon. She got comfortable on my legs. I guess I'll be sleeping here for the rest of the night.

Most years I worry about whether this rose will come back. It's a single stalk. It's seen some rough winters and some physical damage. There have been years when it didn't bloom. Thankfully for the last several years it has reminded me of exactly where I planted it many years ago.
