Okay, I knew it was going to happen. I’d have to migrate my email off of Eudora — the center of my work day since about 1997.
But I didn’t expect it to happen so suddenly — just poof, and I couldn’t read my email archives (let alone send anything). Continue reading
There was a kerfuffle today on the Social Media Page and the Social Media Strategy Group about not using the new logo until “approved” versions are available. I guess I did expect that versions suitable for social media profiles (e.g. square) would be among those released early.

The AAUW webmanagers’ listserve was established after the 1999 convention (where I did a workshop with the first AAUW webmanager — see June 1999 entry.)
It looks as if this group will get together in St. Louis for lunch, on Friday, June 26.
For details, twitter to “d nes49” or check the Facebook group for the convention. We’d hope to be in the official program, but one never knows…
[This conflicts with the legacy circle lunch and the Patsy Mink documentary — but hopefully, this will all be ok.]
