Some Partimus work, a space ship and the rest of September
October 5th, 2012 by pleia2
September was quite the overwhelming month. In retrospect I really took on too much at once and then was slammed by timing of several things, including increased work-related activities, time crunch for some of the wedding planning, all my upcoming travel and the Jewish high holy days.

Ubuntu earrings – now in silver!
August 4th, 2011 by pleia2
Back in June I wrote: Buy Ubuntu earrings and help schools using Ubuntu! Since then there have been several requests for a silver color and Maile Urbancic of Boutique Academia responded to those requests! The silver color Ubuntu earrings are now a reality, they are rhodium plated (rhodium is silver colored, but doesn’t tarnish like […]
