This is the computer lab I used to manage. It is now office space, but the old sign remains. Also, GO SHRIMPCATS!
🙁
Next person, I hope you enjoy your double chips.
The grad students are back, so Friday night game night continues! Tonight we played Castle Panic, a cooperative board game where as a group we try to protect the castle from incoming waves of monsters (and individually try to be the master slayer). This is one of my new favorites!
I played a lot of new board games last year, and hope to do the same this year, so I’ll do my best to not let it take over my photos of the day. Most folks I game with run from the camera, so photos would just be of the board anyway.
Today’s meeting was more doodly than usual. I call this one Frog and Sunrise with Flying Sheep.
While heading out of work today, I happened to see this dude lounging on the bookdrop. He seems very much at home at the library.
It’s the beginning of the semester, so it’s syllabus time! When 400 students need copies in the morning, it’s time to bring out the big machinery: the high-speed duplicator.
I love office equipment, and this is one of my favorite machines. This is no wimpy copier where the paper quietly snakes through before being gently deposited into a flimsy tray. This is the next step in evolution of the mimeograph machine. For each page, it mechanically creates a stencil, and then stamps out each copy as the blank paper leaps through from one bin to the other.
The warning messages about how it can crush your hands are terrifying. I have blithely reached into a malfunctioning laser printer and gotten a hand-numbing zap for my trouble, but this guy I have a healthy respect for.
Another QR code in the wild. This one’s on the bottom of my CD-ROM tray, and is way too small for my phone to read. What’s this one’s purpose?
Having just moved to a new neighborhood, I need to build a whole new map. Just added a grocery store!
Tonight we made spaghetti squash for dinner. It turned out great! We had actually bought the squash last week, along with the acorn squash and butternut squash, so were delighted when we learned how to cook it at Wild Thyme on January 2. Recipes welcome for the other squashes!
Bedtime or storytime? Mows and I have been reading together every night before bed. I have a goal of reading 50 books this year.
