Yesterday, I met Lori Hahn from Hahn @ Home! She works downtown, very near my office. Against her better judgment, perhaps, she agreed to meet at a coffee shop in a neutral location. She found out I don't look at all like my picture. I found out she's just as funny and insightful as she is when she writes. Go and read her, if you haven't yet.

New term for period English films with lots of elaborate costumes and heaving bodices: textile porn. Try and use it in a sentence today.

At work, I've learned the hard way that Web 2.0 has not been warmly embraced by all public agencies yet. There are some agencies that won't post online basic data, like property value assessments - you still have to hitch up your horse and buggy and travel to the big city for an interview with the local magistrate. All this by way of saying, against all logic, it looks like I have to make a field trip to San Joaquin County on Monday. Feh.

And finally ... call this org porn, if you will ...
This guy, Mike Rohde, hacked his own weekly planner using a Moleskine notebook and some office supplies. You have to visit his Flickr page to understand how elaborate he made it. He even uses symbols to indicate items done, not done, postponed, eaten, kidnapped by gypsies, etc.
I'm appalled, yet oddly compelled. I hate all planners I find in stationery shops - they're never exactly what I need. So I might just try and make a planner of my own, but I wonder if I'm up to maintaining a planner at all, let alone with this level of exactitude. Maybe I'd be loyal to a Pam-made planner. What are your thoughts? Have you ever made your own planner? Care to share with the class?
