WP app FAIL

I tried the WP app on my ipod, and it worked for a few days, then ‘BAM” consistent failure. How disappointing! I was so looking forward to blogging from the road.

testing…

Just trying out the WP app.

Here’s a part of The People Speak. Viggo Mortensen reads in Spanish, and then English, so don’t worry that you won’t know what was said. It looks like I can’t embed Vimeo unless I upgrade, so you’ll need to use the links instead. Sorry! After I get a job, I’ll switch. If archivists didn’t exist, this project wouldn’t have had the material to do this. Keep memory alive!!!

Viggo Mortensen reads Bartolome de Las Casas, “The Devastation of the Indies: A Brief Account” (1542) in Spanish and English from Voices of a People's History on Vimeo.

EDIT: Found a workaround… let’s see if it works… Success!

Krittle

“Krittle”: the weird little bits that flake off the edges of very old (well, post-1880s), very brittle newspapers when you touch them. In use: “OMG, I’m covered with krittles!” “Hey, sweep up that pile of krittle, wouldja?” “Dear god,I’ve inhaled a lungful of krittle.”

First documented use: Sara A. to Debi G. while working on newspaper survey/shelf-read for employer.

Same as it ever was… same as it ever was

Still working part-time at the Wisconsin Historical Society. Still looking for a full-time archivist position. Still scoping out cute men. Still driving ’94 VW. Still cat-Mom to Evinrude the Surly. Still collecting more yarn and fabric than I will use in this lifetime, or the next. Still reading actual books.
