Somebody Stole my Random
by patndoris on Jan.02, 2010, under Musings
I've really been struggling with my writing these last few months. I just haven't been motivated. My posts have been...well...lackluster...less than stellar. I was going through some of my old posts, pruning them (as I tend to do at the beginning of the… more »
Will I WHAT?!
by patndoris on Dec.11, 2009, under Musings
I've been asked to do a lot of things at work - but taking my shirt off? That was a new one! I guess there's a little explaining to do about that one huh? It just wouldn't be right to leave it at that. We had a company event at ESPN Zone in downtown Ba… more »

The Geek Within
by patndoris on Jan.21, 2009, under Musings
A few years ago, say 2.75 to be reasonably precise - I was not a geek. I was an average computer user. I played a few games here and there...I knew how to do a Google search...I checked my email but that was about it. "Emerging techno geek" was… more »
