For those of you participating in Blogging Against Disablism Day, it'd be great you could post a list to your post to share with everyone here. Here are a few I linked to on our Twitter account : BADD: Bloody Torchwood Disablism sure isn't disabled at all equitable access on Blogging against Disablism Day Lets get the word out about these great posts!

So, now I enter the liminal stage of being approved for full professorship but still technically an associate professor until the promotion "kicks in" with the new academic year — September. However, knowing I've secured it helps, because I can predict my upcoming salary when talking to the bank about getting a mortgage. I can only imagine that any reasonable financial institution would consider...

Wet. Which I like, but I may try working from home rather than from the office. I'm revving up on caffeine so I can race through writing about four "thanks very much for your manuscript, here's how we'd like you to revise it" letters to various of our yaoi book authors. It sounds like something you could do in an hour, but in reality it takes me more like an hour per letter. I re-read an Italian-language...

18:21 Internet is finally back up! # 18:47 @ uberChick Yeah, I like reading paper and playing cards, but not being forced to because Internet is broke. The urge to Twitter was bad. # 18:49 rt @jasonnolan Hoder has been arrested for spying in Iran. He's an ex student firm my old school, & brought blogging to Iran... # 18:49 ... complicittheory.livejournal.com/343039.html # ...

"The inspector general's 27-page summary says that nearly a third of the roughly 60 people in [the oil watchdog agency] received gifts and gratuities from oil industry executives. Anyone surprised? There's plenty of other freakish news to comment on, but most are individual tragedies or stupidities. I'm hesitant to say that I'm starting to feel hope that Obama will win, but ... the Republicans...

I'd created a CLU blog a year ago in my role as Person Who Tests Web Stuff for CLU. I'm currently blogging on my experiences with the TaskStream software. I doubt anyone reading this except possibly complicittheory cares at all — and I'll bet CT mastered it years ago — but for the record, it's Test Subject . It pretty much describes how I spent my day today.

This post is mostly edited excerpts from a conversation I had with complicittheory  in regards to yesterday's post. It was actually a difficult post to write. I actually think it has been a really beneficial thing for me, but it causes a lot of conflict as well.  For me part of why it's difficult is because of social pressures within the disability community. On one hand I'm trying to encourage...

Joy of Tech comic at Geek Culture . Plenty of other iPhone commentary there, too (including comics about iPhone, Rogers , & Canada, complicittheory and canbabe ).

I reviewed Predictably Irrational over at the Other Blog . It's a must-read book, honestly, especially for you folks, who are all highly educated, self-analytic individuals. The author, Ariely, is a behavioral economist, which means he tests economic theories by seeing what people actually do, rather than by building conceptual models. Some of his experiments are extremely creative, and he has interesting...

been hanging off and on with complicittheory , pandamin and blooferlady , and soon some grand-peeps. La Bloofee has a good post of the yesterday, which I luckily largely slept through. Been there, done that, got caught in the traffic jam, but they wouldn't listen. it is great to drag people through old haunts.
