We’ve had some strange technical happenings in my college today, and shortly after my class, my favorite tech wizard in the building appeared at my door: “I’ve been told to check your laptop for anything that may be causing network problems.” Lovely. So I begged for a few minutes to prep some mp3s for class and transfer them and some documents to a flash drive, handed over my regular laptop, and picked up a loaner I am currently working on. I uploaded the mp3s to the appropriate place, started working on the document, and am finding myself all too distractible from a machine that I am not comfortable working on. (Poor ergo on keys, small screen, not customized to my preferences.) So if you see a long post later today or early tomorrow, thank the tech gremlins working at USF today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
