I am sitting here, working at a large university, thinking about the tragedy that took place 2 days ago in Blacksburg, VA. How horrendous. We’re just never going to be safe, no matter where we work. It’s impossible to prevent random acts of violence from happening. Take away legal guns, and that lunatic would have found one on his own or found some other means of violence to unleash. Could his insanity and anger been identified and prevented due to his strange and hateful writings? Sure, but why can’t that guy just write fiction? I’m not condoning folks writing some F’d up stuff, I’m just saying… it’s easy to look BACK and say you could have done this or that…at the end of the day, it was random.

Benjamin…Daddy told you NOT to let Mommy see you with that!!!!

I am trying a new service that Eric showed me today. You can tie a bunch of different services to an IM account, which acts like a robot, allowing you to edit things like your blog, Google Calendar, Basecamp, etc. You can find more information at www.imified.com.

My aunt Koko (Angeliki) passed away at 3AM EST. She was my mom’s only sister and was such a nice and loving woman. She was always making jokes and full of laughter. She spent the last few years of her life taking care of my grandma, who passed away on June 22, 2005.

My aunt always took care of me/us when we visited Greece w/o my parents being there.

This is an idea of her general mood!
