Kimberly Hirsh

I hardly ever cried about my dissertation and I’m really proud of that.

Woke up to a house with no light at all and my first thought was not “The power must be out” but instead “I’ve lost my vision.”

Who is Kimberly Hirsh?

My talk from Micro Camp, “Learning in Public on Your Blog,” is now available on my website!

What are your top 3 movies you turn to when you are sick and/or anxious? Mine are Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, The Princess Bride, and Who Framed Roger Rabbit. (Notes on the lack of ? here if you’re interested.)

So far today I have taken my kid to the pool for swim lessons & stayed for an extra 3 hrs, scheduled a bathroom floor repair, and emailed a client so I’m basically killing it at all 3 of my jobs (parent, homeowner, consultant). Time for hobbies!

Until I get tired of doing it, I’m going to read my way through Time’s The 100 Best Fantasy Books of All Time & then when I finish or am tired of it, I’ll switch to The 100 Best YA Books of All Time until I get tired of that.

New bio: “A good little mommy and always very curious.”

Solidarity to everyone who was awake earlier than they needed to be this morning.

In case you were wondering which website has the best favicon, it’s Jennifer Laughran’s.

My kid is asleep well before 9 pm, what do I do with all this freeeeeedom? (The smart thing would be to go to sleep myself.)

I cannot convey the extent to which the statement “be part of one of the largest events on campus” would put me off an event. Even in the beforetime, but especially now.

That feeling when someone you only kind of knew from church as a kid over 20 years ago invites you to her Facebook MLM group. 😬

Hey hey! I’ll be giving a talk at Micro Camp Friday @ 3:30 pm EST about Learning in Public on Your Blog. Want to learn more about the micro.blog platform and community? Want some tips on using your blog to learn in public? Micro Camp is free!

🎬 watched Beverly Hills Cop. Eddie Murphy is brilliant here. I can’t believe he was only 22 or 23 when he made this.

My brain, on August 8, 2021: LetterMo is just around the corner! It’s January now, so February will be here soon!

Narrator: It is not January now.

I can’t recall if I’d ever seen Abbott & Costello’s “Who’s on First” before tonight but I just watched it, it’s as brilliant as everyone gives it credit for being, and I’m blown away that they could keep that bit going for 7+ minutes.

Hello and welcome to my current existential crisis.

I love physicist Carlo Rovelli’s phrase, “radical lack of certainty,” quoted in Austin Kleon’s blog post about uncertainty in science and art.
