Who Deserves More Credit?

January 3, 2011 by Maire in Writing / 0 Comments

Today’s choice from the ongoing stockpile of Daily Post questions is: Name someone who deserves more credit than they get. And for bonus points, how to change things so they get more.  Of course, we’re not constrained to just the literal question, but can think outside the box if we wish. What occurs to me […]

Three Countries

January 2, 2011 by Maire in Writing / 2 Comments

I have to admit that the Daily Post project looks a little like every other topic prompter so far.  No hard-hitting questions.  Luckily, I’ve let a couple of days’ worth of topics stockpile while I’ve been doing things like my own yearly recap and podcast.  I’m thinking I may continue to allow the stockpile to […]

Stringchronicity Episode 13: Happy New Year!

January 1, 2011 by Maire in Hobbies / 0 Comments

Listen Here! Happy New Year!  Hope yours went well!  I’m still a little scattered-sounding, but at least I’m back to podcasting on a weekend instead of catch-as-catch-can during the week. I talk about how busy the Christmas season was, particularly regarding the amount of households we visited.  I also mention that swag was exchanged amongst […]

Goodbye and goodnight, 2010

I can’t believe how fast this year has gone by, and all the things that have happened between then and now.  It seems yesterday I was waking up on January 1st, and now I’m putting the capper on another year. I decided to put together a little photo-mosaic of all the really nice shots I’ve […]

A post per day?

A post per day?

December 30, 2010 by Maire in Writing / 0 Comments

I belatedly came across the knowledge that November was NaBloPoMo* (National Blog Post Month).  There was a part of me that was a wee bit upset that I missed it.  After all, posting every day and actually having something to share is one heck of a challenge.  I suppose that it’s a good thing that […]

WIP Wednesday

WIP Wednesday

December 29, 2010 by Maire in Hobbies / 2 Comments

I saw this particular little weekly feature on Turtlegirl’s blog and thought I might follow suit.  Of course, afterwards I googled WIP Wednesday, and apparently it’s not a new idea…so now I don’t feel quite so cheesy! My Noro striped shawl is shaping up quite nicely.  It’s getting large enough to take more time to […]

Merry Christmas!

So far, today has been nice and relaxing, aside from a little traffic.  We went for a wonderful breakfast, and picked up a couple of things that Robin needed from one of the stores (not the mall, thank goodness).  We’re now taking a little time to rest up for the main holiday events. I’ve been […]

Dark side of the Moon

Just a quick one before dashing off to work on the shortest day of the year… Stayed up way too late last night to watch the beginning of the Lunar Eclipse last night.  I even took a few pictures!  When I get home from work this afternoon, I’ll go through them and see if any […]

Black Holes

Black Holes

Well, the thing about a black hole – its main distinguishing feature – is it’s black. And the thing about space, the colour of space, your basic space colour, is black. So how are you supposed to see them? –Holly, Ship’s computer, Red Dwarf (episode: Marooned) You see that sock?  It’s black.  And the thing […]
