Subtle Differences

24 October 2006 by YukonJen

We’ve been cleaning up Alan’s memoribila room lately. We found copies of this excerpt in his folders from ABBA. He said I should read it every morning to start my day. Actually, he said I should read positive thoughts or positive sayings every morning before I start my day. It might be an interesting experience. …

Gorilla of My Dreams

21 October 2006 by YukonJen

“Gorilla of my dreams!” was just one of the quotes at Tod Brilliant’s Polaroid Art opening at the Flying Goat coffee house in Healdsburg. One time Tod told us that he would like to go down to the local coffee shop in a gorilla suit, order a coffee, sit there and drink it–all without talking. …

Bumper sticker

15 October 2006 by YukonJen

My friend Waitman made a custom bumper sticker for someone he doesn’t know personally, but is apparently relatively famous: Theodore Gray. Theodore is the co-founder of Wolfram, Inc. and the initial developer of the software program Mathematica from two decades ago. Waitman thought about it for three days before he ordered and sent it to …

Website Wednesdays

11 October 2006 by YukonJen

I am structuring my time around projects and learning. In September, I had a few things I wanted to do with my time off but I am finding that if I don’t schedule it, I don’t do it. Therefore, I am declaring Wednesdays to be Website Wednesdays. Wednesdays will be the day I work on …

I am talking to Joe at Directware Plus in Petaluma a lot recently. I found him the other day because I was randomly calling computer networking numbers in the Yellow Pages. I was hoping to find a WiFi solution for this Verizon PC5740 broadband card. I called Directware Plus because they have a local Petaluma …

Amplexus: aka Fornicating Frogs

6 October 2006 by YukonJen

“When I use a word, it means exactly what I want it to mean. Nothing more. Nothing less.” Humpty Dumpty says this to Alice in Lewis Carroll’s Through the Looking Glass. I love languages. I love finding true words: one word, one meaning, and nothing else. Somebody called me a logomachist once. I had to …

Today, it’s raining up here

4 October 2006 by YukonJen

Today, it’s raining on this mountain top. I guess winter is setting in. Yesterday, I called a local computers-R-US technician to ask if he could help me find a way either to plug this Verizon Broadband PC5740 card into a router so I could broadcast the internet connection from the one corner of the house …

Website Makeover

2 October 2006 by YukonJen

Yukonjen.com is getting a makeover. I’m very excited at the prospect. The worst thing is though, that I’ve already written this post, but I lost the connection. Now I have to remember what I’ve already written–Ugh! I have two weeks to figure out this Verizon Broadband thing. I hope I can figure something out WiFi-wise. …

1 October 2006 by YukonJen

What a relief. Finally. This Verizon Broadband data plan does work…It just doesn’t work in the corner office! It works in various places throughout the house, it just doesn’t work in the corner office. I WILL NEVER BE BOXED IN AGAIN!!! Yukon Jen –outside the box. The only way to be. I just have to …
