Viva Las Vegas

Just when I swore I'd never go back. Our proposal for STC was accepted and this year it's in Vegas. It will be fun to see all those tech writers drunkenly hit the tables, correcting grammar on those little pamphlets they hand out on the strip, and making eyes at each other at an Elvis impersonator show.

Good times.

Term for the day

Androcentrism keeps appearing over and over again in all these different texts.

Free ride

Now if only they could do something like this (Yale offers free tuition to music graduate students) to those who are getting advanced degrees in social work and teaching.

How much Dinty Moore does one person need?

This photo, taken at the Grocery Outlet, is in honor of Timmer.

Late to the game

There are several events that are happening this week that I found out about a bit too late.

Kim Goodwin's tutorial: Envision: translating data into a design concept

Seattle Mindcamp - a self-organizing, digitally minded, entrepreneur-driven, overnight Seattle confab. (full - boo!)

But that being said, I am going to see Suzanne Weghorst from the UW HIT Lab talk about her current research.

And actor Erik is staring in a new play at Theater Schmeater - the play is Shoppers Carried by Escalators into the Flames.

Writing project not for the faint of heart

A friend of mine is doing the Nanowrimo project. The challenge is to write a novel, in your free time, in a month. Crazy.

Anyway, if writing a novel in a month wasn't enough, she's also starting to blog about the experience.
