these pics seem good for a fall day.  i love how pretty those old letters look framed.  what a great idea.  that antique suzani on that settee is perfection.  and you can't get any better then an old charleston brick wall!

busted.

kirsten from 6th street design was so nice and asked me to participate in her week long series called good design, kids in mind.  i feel kind of bad- she asked several designers questions about how to have a beautiful home and have kids.  i was one of many who was suppose to give amazing answers.....
i feel like i have cheated.

Bravo, Cornell and XKCD!

While writing my post the other day I visited a number of CS department websites. Cornell's has a rotating image highlight on its front page. Two of them really caught my eye:

Big kudos to Cornell - a picture is worth a thousand words.

Also kudos today to Randall Munroe (XKCD), for today's comic. In addition to beautifully articulating my frequent frustration with tech support, I love that the uber-smart CS superstar is drawn as a woman. Thanks for helping represent!

no words needed....
okay, except for- if that outfit appears in my closet, i promise i won't be mad ;)
and- have a wonderful weekend!!
