I've been thinking about opening a Facebook account for quite a while now, but thanks to the largely negative publicity they've received regarding their privacy policy, I am less inclined to do so ( Read more... )

First of all, I'll be "on the air" tonight with the Secret Frequency, updating you on all the news and results around the country, focusing in particular on the Green Party. Please tune in ( Read more... )

So the question came up recently of whether or not I was a "Renaissance man". I didn't really know, although I think it would be a neat thing to be - do I add it to 43 Things? And of course, there's the next question: once you are one, then what? Can I sit back and merely pontificate when others come to me to get something done ( Read more... )

I don't know exactly if it's a function of my age, or just the peculiar convolutions of my personality, but I've reached a point in my life when creature comforts of a certain variety are extremely welcome. Maybe it's just that my paying position involves being surrounded by dingbats, or my political career drives me to despair for our country and ( Read more... )

Oh, what a giveaway!

Recently, the blog bOINGbOING put up a painting by Amy Crehore. It's a nude (though nothing of the naughty bits is shown - the woman is strategically holding a guitar). If you've never seen her work, I suppose I would recommend it. It tends to be sensual and lush, and reminds me a bit of Gauguin, but to my mind sometimes ( Read more... )

Today's questions come from fightscrime, our victorious roller derby queen! That's victorious, you hear? Make some noise!! (Embarrassingly, I think I owe colley one of these memes, too, but I kind of lost it in the shuffle. Hey, still willing, if I can track it down. And he deserves some noise, too, for his wrestling moves! Represent ( Read more... )

I've been a bit down lately. You know, not having a job, or realizing that this is now my job, which is a bit of a nasty shock...plus a few other things that I've had to deal with in terms of some close relationships - and the fact that I haven't been sleeping well lately (Kid-2 has a painful ear infection, and I was up a great deal of time last ( Read more... )

Well, that's that...I'm no longer a co-Chair of the Green Party of the United States, and as of 1 September, I'll no longer be a delegate to the Green National Committee. I'll just go back to being an everyday, garden variety Green. (For questions and things of a co-Chairish nature, please see kakistocracy, who will be dealing with that lovely office for the ( Read more... )
