3.5 Random Thoughts
Apr. 19th, 2011 10:17 amThree random thoughts with promise of a fourth later.
Random Thought #1
I'm a big fan of Cherie Priest (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cmpriest), and so I ordered her newest novel Bloodshot. I finished reading it over the weekend, and I found it quite enjoyable. It's a modern urban fantasy, and other than having a Seattle-based protagonist, it has nothing to do with her "Clockwork Century" series of books. Still, it's a good read.
Random Thought #2
I tend to have dinners at a local restaurant here in Villa Park. Well, over the weekend, a goose took up residence in a planter by their front door. Besides the mess (goose shit like, well, geese) the bird has laid eggs and become very territorial. So, I provided the restaurant management a tip: call these folks to evict the goose.
Random Thought #3
I am on the advisory panel for the College of DuPage's CIT (Computer Information Technology) program. This is a program heavily into training folks as network administrators - routers, switches and VoIP stuff. They need some adjunct faculty to teach courses. It's a part-time gig; 64 class hours for around $3,000. If anybody in Chicago is looking, email me at cgerrib (at) comcast (dot) net.
Random Thought #3.5
I've been a supporter of the Central Asia Institute, the "Stones into Schools" people. Per 60 Minutes, their finances are, well, suspect. I'm trying to gather my thoughts on the subject into a coherent post, which I'll upload soon.
