Happy 2009! Okay so it's nearly March already.

As the subject line suggests, I haven't posted here for a while. The day job (which is designing and developing online courses for the USPS' training center in Norman, OK) has been extremely busy so my blogging, along with quite a few other aspects of my life outside work, has been somewhat... spotty.

However, with spring nearly in the air (although this morning was a bit chilly in the mid-20's), that energy is moving again and I'm ready to hit the ground running.

Well, I will be after I get a few more latte's in my system.

What's new with Rosie? Well... She has a huge stack of items to photograph and list on Bonanzle and eBay, and those include:
  • Quite a few linear feet of industrial technical manuals from the early 1900s to the sixties...
  • Some "garage sale" style stuff, including a Yamaha electronic keyboard with low mileage (not a full keyboard but one that has some pretty nice samples... would be a great gift for the budding soundtrack composer in your life)...
  • A Sony Mavica "vintage" camera that is a bit long in the tooth but still perfectly good for those online auction photos...
  • Another Pentax (less long in the tooth) digital camera that doesn't want to work well but would be great for parts...
  • More slightly off the beaten path books from Rosie's own collection of somewhat metaphysical items of exploration-past
  • Maybe just maybe a print from Art Spiegelman (if Rosie can figure out how to list it, as it's a limited MAUS serigraph that's just frankly not for everyone... remember the MAUS graphic novel covers?)
  • And a bunch more industrial ephemera...
  • And some interesting hand stamps (metalworking supplies) from the 40's or thereabouts.
So, as you can see, My Alter-Ego Rosie has her work cut out for her. (or would have, if she had a CNC plasma cutter! *kidding.)

As the title says, happy 2009, hope yours is going as well as mine, keeping busy and out of trouble!

And a great program for those who want a kick in the seat of the pants to reach their goals:
