Lately, due to some minor mobility problems (i.e., I can barely walk some days), I’ve been occasionally working from home. Since there isn’t enough space on my normal desk for an additional computer, I’ve shanghaied my hobby worktable into filling in as a work worktable.
Having joined me in my hobby pursuits, Mycah has had no difficulty adapting to the break-neck pace of the high-tech work world. In other words, she has, all on her own, worked out the high-concept principle of “siesta.”

If I could figure out how to get her a regular paycheck, we’d be set.

You can see in the photo that the hair is growing back — albeit slowly — on the remnant of her tail. Not shown: her tummy, which is also re-foliating. She’s doing well.
If it’s Friday (and I do believe it is) then It’s time for the Modulator’s
Friday Ark.

Despite the fact that it’s less than 20 miles up the road from me and could be considered “local news,” I haven’t written anything about the Duke lacrosse rape case, primarily because I have nothing to add to the public discussion.
However, for those who hear about the case only from the 30-second evening news blurbs, there’s a source of information not to be missed. Brooklyn College and CUNY Graduate Center professor K. C. Johnson, a Duke alum, has been following the case almost from the outset at his remarkably thorough site Durham in Wonderland.
Short version: the good professor is no fan of Durham District Attorney Mike Nifong.
The Wall Street Journal’s Dorothy Rabinowitz, who did stellar (i.e., Pulitzer-winning) work on the unjust prosecutions of daycare providers for wholly imaginary sexual assaults (based on false memories planted in very young childrens’ minds by investigators with agendas) offers up her take on the matter today. Well worth reading.
