Students and Technology

The Constant Reader knows of the high esteem in which I hold my beloved wife, the Lovely and Talented Cathy. Her latest project is another stunningly wonderful idea. She has started podcasting and a new website, Student Tech. This podcast covers all the nifty technological goodies she has found helpful in her quest for her doctoral degree. It also shares ways to save money and blow off steam with low-cost fun, since keeping your sanity is just as important as gaining an education.

In addition to learning all kinds of stuff, you will also get to hear the beautiful voice of the woman that is the light of my life. Check out Student Tech and tell her The Amused Geek sent you!

Life is pretty sweet...

I have a wonderful wife (the wise, wonderful, intelligent and INCREDIBLY sexy Cathy), we have a couple of nifty doggies (Roobee and Shasta, more on them later), a pretty cool house-mate and my extended state of unemployment may be ending. I don't want to jinx it, so I'm not going to say more. Money may be tight, but other than that, life is good!

Chomping at the bit...

Tomorrow marks the release of the new World of Warcraft expansion: Wrath of the Lich King. I know that MMORPGs are tools of the devil, but I enjoy them. They also keep me from getting jealous of the time that my beloved darling, Cathy spends working on her Doctorate. Besides, WoW is a fantasy game where a character can go around using a big, honkin' GUN! That and the expansion will let players build magical motorcycles! My character, Yinthalas happens to be one of the folks that can (eventually) build the bikes, so yeah, drool factor is high.

Computer games with guns, bikes and hot night-elf babes... What's not to like?
