For any of you sampler s out there, here's something potentially interesting: a recording I made (3.1 MB flac format , 49 sec) of the sound of a chunk of silica aerogel clattering and bouncing on a hard surface after being dropped from a few inches' height, repeatedly. Weird, eh? Feel free to use it according to the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 United States License . I'd love to hear ...

I keep meaning to write a general update on stuff I've been up to, but I keep procrastinating. I can no longer complain that the weather's too hot, as it finally cooled back down to seasonal autumnal temperatures. And I can no longer say that DC LinuxChix "just" had its quasi-monthly meeting—indeed I'm overdue to schedule the next one. I'm not taking a Japanese language class this term, but ...
I got that job as Audit Assistant and I start on Monday 6th August. Sounds exciting, doesn’t it? They actually asked me at interview whether my email address, hoteldetective, was a part time job I had. I wasn’t sure whether they were joking then I figured they were auditors – so probably not. Nonetheless, a non-service based job means less hours and more money. ‘Bank holiday’ and ‘weekend’ now ...
I've been pretty negligent about posting, particularly when it comes to keeping up the Kyoto travelogue posts. I promise more are coming. New stuff: I got a new cell phone: a Kyocera Cyclops. It's way more advanced than my old one. Unfortunately, I've been having some problems getting it activated. I've been following the LinuxChix imbroglio of the past couple weeks with plenty of disgust ...
I know it's cliché to say I need a vacation to recover from my vacation, but I'm feeling it. I have many Japan pictures yet to upload, and I do intend to write a day-by-day travelogue once the pictures are up. I missed May's dorkbot-dc meeting and a social get-together. After a power outage on Thursday evening, my desktop PC's power supply died. So much for catching up on my e-mail. I think ...
Many people wonder where the idea behind my domain name, hoteldetective.org , comes from. The answer: a couple of songs by They Might Be Giants with nearly identical titles: (She Was a) Hotel Detective She Was a Hotel Detective My favorite is the second version—the one with the falsetto.
Those of you who don't visit my hoteldetective.org site often won't have noticed it, but a little while ago I added some dynamic content to the left-hand side: a Twitter badge and an All Consuming list. I think I'm gonna ditch the Twitter badge since I just don't see myself updating it very often. If you use Twitter , feel free to add me as a friend, and I may use it for some ...
Around the house this weekend, I filed my taxes, made a batch of dashi that I'll use for clear soup and simmering bamboo shoots and taro , and started some seedlings. Out of the house, I met up with fellow DC LinuxChix and a couple of PhillyChix at the National Aquarium in Baltimore . Getting up early on a Sunday morning was worth it to beat the hordes. My pictures don't actually ...
