All the graffiti, none of the mess
Really cool when matched with some longer exposures.

“Using Prompt Commands” May Be a Sign of Criminal Activity — eff.org Warrant PDF available here
I guess the campus police seem to think that anyone that isn’t using OSX or Windows is probibly doing something illegal. Shouldn’t these cops be old enough to have used DOS? This reminds me of a story from a while back where a teacher threw a fit over a student giving a linux demonstration for class. Remember kids, If you don’t support Apple or Microsoft your a Pirate/Communist/Union Laboror…

FOX News Says Marijuana Activists are “Internet Trolls” — stopthedrugwar.org At least Glen Beck isn’t pouring gasoline on the internets…
President Obama’s pledge to open the White House up to the public through online forums faces an irksome challenge: a plague of Internet “trolls” — troublemakers who work to derail cyber-conversations through harassing and inflammatory posts.
The problem became immediately apparent last month when Obama held an online “town hall” forum on the economy and invited the public to post questions on the White House Web site.
Those questions, in turn, were voted on by users to determine which ones the president would answer.
Three and a half million people participated in the event, but the “trolls” had their way: Following a coordinated campaign by marijuana advocates to vote their topic to the top of the list, questions on the future of the U.S. dollar and the rising unemployment rate were superseded by questions about legalizing pot as an economic remedy.

The ‘No Updates for 3 Months!’ Update
Wow, that has never happened to me before, I swear. Life kind of hit a brick wall and I am still trying to pick up the pieces. Upon returning to work in January I was faced with a decision. Should I leave behind all the Pixie Pal’s that I made in Brisby Land’s own Tinker Island to work for a company which produces state of the art graphic design and productivity suites from sun cooked clay? Why did I even have to ask myself that question?!? After applying and scoring higher on the test than my own manager did when he was an agent on the contract, I was in… For three weeks.
Why on earth would a company pay thirteen trainees to complete four of the five weeks of training at a cost of well over two thousand dollars per person only to lay them off? How could that possibly be a sound decision? You could say, lay off your 8 lowest performers on the floor and then weed the bad newbies… More paperwork I imagine. More difficult conversations. On the plus side the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act cut my Cobra payments to 35% so I can afford to have healthcare. Now if only I could find a job…
I have a million pictures I need to put up. There’s Bill’s visit, Dad’s visit, the Olympic Peninsula, the Mount Hood hot springs, and pictures of the MINIVAN WE NOW OWN! That’s right, we are the proud owners of a minivan, what is my life coming to?
I am so far behind. I want to transition the site to Drupal or Wordpress and then add start using flash galleries for the pictures, but can hardly find the time. All I can say is that I am going to try harder to not go three months without putting something up here for no one to read. Until next time…
