Tod ((a generation Y speaker, so he knows all about The Facebook)) tagged me with this on Facebook. Three names I go by: 1. Beth 2. DrBethSnow (all one word, of course) 3. 52.50 (don’t ask) Three Jobs I have had in my life: 1. university instructor 2. evaluation specialist 3. donut store worker ((although […]
So I’m a bit of a perfectionist. And the speed and sleep deprivation that accompanies blogging every half hour for 24 hours straight does not lend itself to perfection. So there are some things from my Blogathon – things I couldn’t remember in the haste of blogathoning – that I feel the need to rectify. […]
Hey, remember that time, 48 blog posts ago, when I thought it would be a good idea to blog for 24 hours straight? That was good times. Here’s me a fewof hours ago at Workspace, blogging about the important issues of the day: Props to all the bloggers who wrote all day and all night […]

So I just saw a tweet from @Blogathon.org saying that if you post a pic of the place you are blogging before 1 p.m. on their Flickr, you will have a chance to win a $5 sponsorship for your charity from them. And seeing as I haven’t got a single donation pledge since the start […]
So, I was searching Flickr for a photo to go with my last posting and when I typed in “101 in 1001” under the Creative Commons-licensed photo search, this was the first hit: A friggin’ Dark & Stormy cupcake!! Apparently Lauren, a.k.a. cuttlefish, had on her 101 in 1001 days list: invent a bitchin’ cupcake […]
… playing “unnoticeably on your broswer” during English class: … you would know that there isn’t a capital R in “classroom.” For the record, this was a pop up ad that managed to sneak by my pop up blocker. I wasn’t actually searching for online fantasy games featuring women with giant breast implants. If you […]
