Just Tim: September 2009
http://tim-alone.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, September 29, 2009. A day in the life of a community college librarian:. A student comes up to me at the reference desk and asks if I can help him with a library quiz. I gave a library presentation to his remedial reading class last week, and now the class has to take a ridiculously easy quiz on what I covered. The questions on the quiz are things that I emphasized, again and again and again, verbally, with a PowerPoint, and with two worksheets. Later, I run into his instructor and tell her abou...

Just Tim: Homophobia and the Church
http://tim-alone.blogspot.com/2009/11/homophobia-and-church.html
Monday, November 2, 2009. Homophobia and the Church. Sometimes I can't decide which blog to use for a certain post. Since this deals primarily with religion, I posted it to my Timicism blog:. John Shelby Spong: Honorary Timicist. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Let Me Insulate You. Homophobia and the Church. Musings of a Minor Mennonite. Lorem ipsum dolor sit. I Can Has Cheezburger. Shit My Dad Says (on Twitter).

Just Tim: June 2009
http://tim-alone.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, June 18, 2009. What Part of STUPID Do You Not Understand? I know I don't have to worry about calling her stupid on my blog, because I know she will never, ever read it. This is, after all, someone who refuses to turn on a computer. Even during a college class. That meets in a COMPUTER LAB. Trying to put her at ease about the online indexes, I told her how much of an advantage she would have using our databases if she already was familiar with the Reader's Guide. What part of no. I let her stew ...

Just Tim: May 2009
http://tim-alone.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Friday, May 8, 2009. Setting: End-of-the-semester lunch at work. Very social atmosphere. CW: There's a yankee, an oriole, a cardinal, and a cub. Me: When you say, "Yankee" do you mean someone from the North or any American? CW: From New York. Me: A New Yorker? Me; Oh, the Yankees! Is it a fan, or one of the players? CW: Yeah, it's a player. [Rolling her eyes.] They're in uniform and carrying bats! Yankee, Oriole, Cardinal, Cub. Me: Oh, the teams. I thought you meant the actual. Me: I wasn't over. Ladies ...

Just Tim: Parsing URLs
http://tim-alone.blogspot.com/2008/03/parsing-urls.html
Tuesday, March 25, 2008. I was trying to think of what to call this new blog. I wanted something that contrasted with my other blog, Timbecca, which had been a combination of mine and my wife's names (Tim Rebecca = timbecca.) The most obvious choice was Tim Alone, since that most accurately describes the state of this blog while keeping the lyric rhythm of "timbecca," or something like that. So I moved on. My next idea was to put Tim Alone in the URL, http:/ timalone. What are the odds? It turns out it's...

Just Tim: Tim-Alone No More
http://tim-alone.blogspot.com/2009/11/tim-alone-no-more.html
Saturday, November 21, 2009. So I started this blog a year and a half ago, a week after my ex moved out. At the time, I called it "Tim Alone" because it was in opposition to Timbecca. Which had been our joint blog. I chose the URL http:/ tim-alone.blogspot.com. (This was because Timal One. Was already taken.). So it looks like the only option is to create yet another new blog. So I introduce The Timblog. And the occasional rant on. Thanks for reading. Both of you. Tim Alone is officially retired.

Just Tim: What Are You Reading?
http://tim-alone.blogspot.com/2009/08/what-are-you-reading.html
Thursday, August 27, 2009. What Are You Reading? I know carrying a book around in public, like in an airport, restaurant, or doctor's office, is a great conversation piece. Lots of people like to ask you what you're reading. But that's not why I carry a book around everywhere I go. I do it to keep from getting bored. In fact, I would prefer not to talk about my taste in reading with every stranger or casual acquaintance I come across. Susan Seligson's Stacked: A 32DDD Reports from the Front. I sighed, he...
