I get an email for every comment you post. That means that I will erase each and every spam you post here. Kinda pointless to post spam isn't it? No one will ever see it.
'tards.

Huge pic (sorry) - this is what a Vancouver pumpkin patch looks like!

...for my thrice monthly post.
Sorry about that, it's been pretty busy. I've been working a lot, and medical issues have come up. I keep feeling like the early-mid thirties is the time of your life when the medical issues first appear that will haunt you until you die. Ah well, hard to see what's going to happen in anyone's life. I just finished having a holter monitor on me for 24 hours. Nevermind the actually issues going on in my chest, which I can't even guess at yet - but that's the most annoying thing EVAR. Actually, it's probably a close second behind the 'monkey bandage' I wore when I broke my collarbone. That one lasted for weeks.
The holter monitor is basically a 24 hour EKG; it reads your heart's electrical impulses and records them on a regular cassette tape. It attaches to you with 5 wires which terminate in round, extremely sticky pads. How sticky? Well, sticky enough that pulling them off my sides caused broken blood vessels and bruising. I also have three round bald patches on my chest now. I look mangy. Ick. I slept horribly with it on, and worked from home the day after so I could sleep in a little. Now I need to wait and see what the doc says.

I wanna know why the FBI thinks it has the right to use the Patriot Act to force reporters to give their notes and recordings to the FBI so that can prosecute Adrian Lamo, the "Homeless Hacker". The FBI claim they can do this because reporters who write for the internet are "providers of electronic communication" and fall under the scope of the Patriot Act.
This is exactly what people have to fear from such overreaching legislation...that people who have power will use it to gain more power in cases that the law was not intended for.
LINKS and STUFF
Userfriendly.org - It's a geek comic strip. Really it's the main geek comic strip that has content based more for the geek crowd than any other. Other 'geek' comic strips have humour and content that almost anyone can get. I go there more out of habit these days than anything else, I used to work for it, and am still the head moderator for their comments system. I guess that's my intro to blogging in some way.Aspectus - This is Illiad's (of Userfriendly fame) other project, which is like Slashdot in some ways and like a personal blog in some ways, but cooler than either. Needs more content, and more visitors, but that'll come.
RED MEAT - Oh my. I imagine there is a FBI file on the artist. I never, ever want to meet him. But I will glory in his comic strip. Brilliance and intelligence wrapped up in the tattooed skin of a circus freak and tied with a bow made of blown O-rings.
Imparte.com - Rich's site. Not going to talk about it until he says I can. But go visit anyway.
