Well, when we started the
LotusUserGroup.org group blog for
Lotusphere, it was based on blogging live from the show. It got some great
response during the show and we're now expanding it to run all the time.
Our internal team will blog there, but we also welcome any other LotusUserGroup.org
members to hop on and submit an entry -- our main focus will be the local
and regional user groups and their needs, as well as news, tips, podcasts,
interviews, and other Lotus stuff.
We've got an RSS
feed, so those folks who didn't
want to subscribe to the weekly
and monthly newsletters will now
have the chance to see when they're published via RSS (TimL
and Bruce,
this is for you!).
Heck, we've even got an icon ( )
and we'll add you to the blogroll if you display it!
Please pop over there, join (if you're
not already a member), and let us know what you'd like to see there and
how we can help!

One of the contemporary
lit sites I subscribe to (thank you
bloglines) had this list of 10 contemporary women writers you should read.
Of course, as they mention, this isn't the only list possible... So, who
would be on your list?

Well, let's see...
- Grad school -- I'm on "spring break"
while working on two 12+ page term papers. Actually, though, pretty fun.
One of them is on a bunch of memoirs of Iranian writers and Western writers
traveling or living in Iran. I'm talking about how differently the Iranian
memoirists see their country, their lives and families, and the politics
than Western writers see those things about Iran. Of course, this is complicated
by the fact that all the Iranians I've read no longer live in Iran and
write also about their experiences in Europe or America. I've probably
learned more about how we treat immigrants than about anything else. For
my Environmental Science class, I'm writing about recycling paper -- what
questions should go into deciding if it's economically feasible and whether
there may be issues outside of the economics that determine whether we
should be recycling paper.
- Took a quickie trip to Boston to do
some interviews. Of course my stupid Olympus digital voice recorder is
causing me some serious pain, but this too shall pass.
- Threw a Cherry Blossom Garden Party
themed birthday party for a good friend, with the more than help of my
friend Margo, who is amazing with the planning-fu. The awesome cool "sushi"
cakes were pretty awesome, too. I think our friend had a good time. The
boys spent most of the afternoon playing bocce
ball and croquet while we chatted,
enjoyed the breeze, had tasty
green tea punch, and snuggled
cute baby Hannah (who, by the way, isn't so much of a baby anymore -- she's
going to be a year old in about a month!).
- Margo is so cool, by the way, that not
only did she do a lot of the heavy lifting on Saturday's birthday party,
but she also put together a birthday party on Sunday for her son, Rhys,
who is about to be three. Cool balloons, cake, presents, etc.
- Oscar watching, biking to class (go
environment! go thighs!), um, homework, homework, and more homework...
Hm,
put that way, it doesn't look like I've actually been that busy,
but trust me -- there's been more. :-) My brain is just too tired out to
think of what else there's been!
