Privacy - Ur Doing It Wrong
As someone who works in a software company for which where ensuring security is very much a number one priority (of the sort that we would, indeed, pull software for if anything slipped through), I feel I have at least some background to say the following things ( Read more... ) -
(Ballard) Farmers Market Report
Ok, that was a success. There were more vendors out now then in December, although there was definitely a switch to more 'season stable' items like soap and honey. Our take today: Kael, 2 Delicata Squash's (like Acorn, apparently, but smaller), Carrots, Rosemary, Sage, Trailhead cheese, 4 HoneyCrisp Apples, Blackberry-wildflower honey, beef summer ( Read more... ) -
2008 Election Checklists.. Sorta
Ok, I've been kinda sucking it up as far as actually figuring out how to represent the Presidential Election as a single-page Checklist - mostly becuase there's really a whole number of state combinations that Obama can use to surpass 270 EV's. So, I figured screw it, I'll just give you the (somewhat over-simplified) states to watch at certain ( Read more... ) -

Before the weekend is out, I'll post the long version of the checklist along with my updated Senate checklist (which I've already completed, just haven't posted yet). But for now, I'll give you part 1 (the short version) of the presidential checklist ( Read more... ) -

Register to vote!
Today is the last day to register to vote for Novembers general election in 21 states. Unfortunately, I misread some dates, and Washington already passed their registration date - so I can't remind you for that one. But if you are in another state make sure to take care of this! The full list is available here: http://www.usatoday.com/news/politics ( Read more... ) -
In LA
Anime Expo was quite awesome. They finally figured out that with a venue to fit everyone it might actually go smoothly. Go fig! Anyway, I'm at donaithnen's watching a whole bunch of FMA with people, so not planning a really long post. Mostly just pointing out that we're in LA and at work for this and the next week. We don't have consistent internet at where ( Read more... ) -
Hey, I know those crayon covered walls...
So, I'm channel surfing on this newfangled 'cable' thing that we've got in the house...
And I randomly come across something on the travel network going by the name 'The 10 ten places to pig out'. Basically, a random selection of restaurants that have notably large portions or eating contests. Stuff like that.
Why am I posting this? Number 4 was ( Read more... ) -
This is not the important stuff post you have assurdly been waiting at the edge of your seat for
I've got plenty of important things to post about! Guess what? Maybe I'll get to that... oh... tomorrow. Sure. That sounds plausible.
In the meantime, I need to throw a plug out for Living Dead in Denmark, the 'post-apocalyptic martial arts Zombie B-movie sequel to Hamlet'. It was just about as campy as it ought to be and QUITE hilarious. It's ( Read more... )
