I have two totally unrelated things to post about. It's quicker to do them both at once, so here you go.
First: a friend of a friend recently had some really rough things happen to him. Full story is over at
http://jazzerat.livejournal.com/47535.html. As was said to me (via the same friend), "He seems to find comfort in the support coming out of the woodwork today. He was brutalized by complete strangers. Some concern from the same can't be a bad thing." I think you all know what to do, if you have a few spare minutes.
Speaking of a few spare minutes: just a reminder that the last day of voting in the LJ advisory board election is today. Polls close at 9 PM Pacific time. I advise any of you who care to look at the
poll post, and if your candidate is one of the ones that currently has no chance of winning, please
switch at least your third-place vote to one of the candidates that can still win.
