Carin Is Presenting AT CSUN 2023
If you’re at the CSUN conference this week, you may not be reading this because looking at that schedule of events tells me that holy crap, there’s a lot going on down there. But if you have managed to find a couple minutes of free time to play around on the internet, allow me to …

Feel The Beams
It’s official. The mind beams are alive and well. Once again, Valentine’s Day came rumbling at me at full steam. But on about February 9, I had an inspiration.

Singing Together Alone
Whoever edited this together is magical, and whoever came up with the idea is also magical. Heck, everyone who participated in this is amazing. Someone I know from book club is part of a choir, and that choir was one of five that participated in this great big project where everyone sang a particular piece …
A Very Sweet Valentine’s Day
We don’t often make a big deal out of Valentine’s Day. Usually it involves looking at our restaurant gift card stash and picking a place where we want to go for dinner, having a great meal and only having to pay for tips because the rest is on the gift cards. But because restaurants are …
Help Earl And Kelly Harrison
I just saw this and wanted to link to it. I used to listen to Earl Harrison review technology on ACB Radio’s Main Menu years ago. I also ran into him at a GDB convention once. I was on a mailing list with his wife some time ago. Now I just read that he is …
