*taps microphone* Uh....is this thing still on?

Two years since I last updated this thing, and almost three years since a proper update. Geez. My LJ and Dreamwidth accounts have always been for myself first and foremost, but it's hard to motivate yourself to write an update when you know hardly anyone is going to read it. And this post isn't ( Read more... )

I don't like spamming my f-list with these things, but if you're in the U.S. and concerned about the future of the Internet, we need to keep the momentum going.

1. So I'm sure many of you know about that video about Ugandan warlord Joseph Kony produced by the NGO Invisible Children that went viral a couple of days ago (if you don't know what I'm talking about, look up "Kony 2012" on YouTube). The video has become quite a big deal, generating a lot of buzz and publicity in a remarkably short amount of time ( Read more... )

Kosmonaunt on Tumblr just posted this link to the U.S. Petition to stop ACTA. Here is what was said about it:

Americans, this is a link to the White House petition to End ACTA and get the Obama Administration to withdraw its support! This petition needs 25,000 signatures by February 20, 2012! ( Read more... )

The friends cut has already been done.

Some things to note:

If you can see this entry, that means you're staying on my f-list.  Congrats!  :D

I didn't cut too many people -- about half of you actually replied to my "comment if you want to stay added" post, and out the other half, most of you were people I wasn't planning on cutting anyway.  (To those ( Read more... )

CURRENT FAVORITES:
( Cut because there's quite a bit here... )

CURRENT FAVORITE:
Divisible, "Starlite Motel" (I love the way she sings the line "It's all painfully clear to me now" in this one)* Happy Halloween everyone!  I admit I'm not keen on it like some other people are -- I find it pretty tacky, and I'm not the kind of guy who likes to bring attention to himself by dressing up in silly costumes.  But I' ( Read more... )

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT:

I will be doing a friends cut on this journal next weekend.

This is how it's going to work:

• If you want to stay on my f-list, comment in this entry saying so.  I will definitely keep you added, no exceptions.
• If you want me to remove you from my f-list, comment here saying so.  When I do the cut next weekend, I will remove you, ( Read more... )

Because I once again have way too many tabs open, and I can't keep them open much longer for obvious reasons, I'm just going to dump them all here.  No quotes, no commentary unless I feel a need to give some, and no particular order.  Those that I highly recommend are in bold.  Hope y'all find something interesting here!  :D

( It's a long list, and not all of it is serious stuff. ;-) )
