Lots of kitty~ma for Arthur.
Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Speaking of cats - in NYC this summer there is an installation/intteractive piece featuring adoptable cats.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

So, I am doing this seminar in DC for a week in July, about information literacy in Classics, at the Center for Hellenic Studies. Deanna Marcum (major library figure) has already agreed to come and talk, and I just got off my Google Hangout with the CHS people (I wore pants! well, a skirt) and they are going to also invite Tim O'Reilly, who it turns out was an undergraduate classics student and is involved in some digital classics stuff.
Hellooooo imposter syndrome.

Hellooooo imposter syndrome.
You're not an imposter! You know how to wear pants. Plus, you're a classically educated librarian.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
kinda seeing the dark side of new boss today. I knew it was there, but wasn't sure the exact form. blame, he likes to blame. also make authoritative statements based on seemingly nothing aside from him wanting it to be true "we talked about that" ummm, no. "he had files set up, he wrote about it in his notes email." again, no, nothing about this project in that email or any of his emails at all. Saying it does not make it so. Interesting habit to have formed, again, a blame mechanism to push stuff back at people or onto others.
Oh yes, there is a reason I communicate mostly in email. I will now make doubly sure to do so with him. and keep everything.

It turns out Tim O'Reilly has a BA in Classics from Harvard. We're everywhere!
