A dialogue:
One: I'm tired of having to initiate contact. She was home all week, ostensibly ill, but she had energy to do her taxes and not to drop me a note?
Two: If she did you, would you give her a $3,000 refund?
One: ...maybe...
Two: There ya go.

A battle is waged against the biased nature of Wikipedia. Meet the fair and balanced Conservapedia. Though I'm pondering its authenticity. This passage seems rather amusing. Thank textivore for bringing this to our attention.

Ink was alright tonight. Martinis were served. It's still a pleasant evening, but not as ambitious as it once was.

What toy am I ogling right now? The Slingbox Pro. Thanks for the toy lust, zonereyrie!

I was shocked to see Bill O' Reilly on Oprah. He's actively crusading on the issue of pedophilia and the soft laws in states like Vermont that make it fairly simple for repeat child sex-offenders to strike again, and in some cases murder their victims. He launched on a tirade that these men are evil. I'm not quite ready to say that a pedophile is more evil than the next asshole. It strikes me that they have a severe and dangerous addiction. And it's quite a tragedy. That said, my gut reaction is to want to kill or use the pedophile for scientific experiments. And yet, I don't quite favor that as a government policy. I could write more on this, but I must slumber soon. But watching Oprah agree with O'reilly struck me as surreal.

Some events to note in my calendar for March: Roller Derby on March 24th, and Beer and Ballet on March 31st. Fun.

The Slingbox Pro is very, very nice. ;-)

So, when you watch it remotely, how do you access it? Is there issues if you don't have a static ip address?

[zonereyrie.livejournal.com]

If you have a static IP you can use that. If you have a DNS entry (static of DynDNS, etc) you can use that. Or Sling has a 'Finder' system. Your SB has a Finder ID and it calls out to their server. Then you enter the same ID in the client and it calls the server and asks which IP the ID is coming from, then it connects to that IP. You still need to punch the appropriate hole in your router/firewall.

Ugh. That place hi-jacked the word "conservative". They need to call it the "Christ-O-Pedia" or something like that; leave us non-religious conservatives out of it!

[weaktwos.livejournal.com]

Yeah, this definitely wasn't good conservatism.

[weaktwos.livejournal.com]

Still. Saddling him an ass is pure gold. ;-)

Beer & Ballet? Do tell!
