Nope, haven't forgotten about blogging!

Where have I been, you may ask?  Aside from working on a bajillion various projects, I have been utterly consumed by a trivia game phone app, QuizUp (Plain Vanilla).  It's totally awesome, and I absolutely recommend it.  So many topics and categories, and I like being urged to learn new things and challenge myself in topics that I hadn't really thought of myself as familiar with (I am really really surprised by how much ass I'm kicking in Sports trivia).  So yeah, check that out.

Aside from being in a trivia cave, I have finished and recorded two podcast segments, the topics of which are Space and Ireland.  They can be found at the podcast's website (the first three episodes are posted, we're just currently having some issues with the RSS feed, so it's going to be a day or two before they're available on iTunes and Stitcher and Soundcloud and all those other lovely services).  If you like the podcast that myself, my husband, and our two friends are putting together, you should follow us on Twitter (@thirteenthfour) and like us on Facebook.  We record biweekly, and will be posting episodes regularly.  We're also feeling out what should be on the site, whether blogs and things like that will be relevant and fun (and if we have the time for them at this juncture -- I have another major project coming up that's due by the end of April, so I'm going to be pretty jammed until the summer), and the possibility of Twitter contests and pub events.  I hope you like what we're doing, and that you tell your friends to listen to us if you do!

Additionally, I have finished my tremendous, looming, digitization project of converting The Skeptiseum to a flashy, user-friendly Omeka-based platform!  Woo hoo!  It's really lovely, and you should check it out as soon as it's posted.  For a sneak peek, you can check out dev.skeptiseum.org and see what it looks like, but it will be a few days before the URLs are officially switched over.  It's come a long way, and I'm really proud of it!  To see what the old website is like and compare the change, you can still find it here and see the difference.  Now we just need a logo!  

As a reward for all my hard work as of late, I've decided to do more work (!!!) and catch up on some small projects and try some new recipes.  Stay tuned for further information and possibly recipes and photographs of things that I am proud to say I made.  Failures will report to the rubbish bin, as well as the area of my memory allocated for lessons learned the hard way.  Today will be reserved for finally putting together a wedding album and framing some honeymoon pictures.  Shameful, I know.  Better late than never, right?  RIGHT?  Speaking of which, sometime later today I will be posting the version of my Small Museum Association conference presentation with an audio accompaniment (so you can have a mild idea of what the hell is going on in my Prezi) - and I will attempt to re-post it to my LinkedIn.  

There we have it, your answer to where the hell I've been for the last few weeks!  I swear that I will be better about this, because there's actually a lot of fun goings-on in my life as of late (like our awesome new volunteer at the CFI Libraries/Skeptiseum), and I would like to relay relevant events and happenings in the near-present tense for once...
