    • Dark Loyalties A couple weeks ago, I posted a survey and asked for respondents from the local Seattle Gothic, or seagoth, community for a research project I was working on for my Law and Justice Research Methods class. For those of you curious about the final results, I've published the entire report. You can watch the presentation, read the report on the site, download the prettier .pdf version, or even download the .pdf version along with all the data files in case you want to do your own number crunching. ➡

    • More Reunions I love watching stuff like this go on -- and I'm _very_ willing to put up with the occasional bout of comment spam in return for being able to watch old friends reconnect thanks to Google and some random piece of babble on my site. ➡
    • Vice Versa 'Senator, when you took your oath of office, you placed your hand on the Bible and swore to uphold the Constitution. You did not place your hand on the Constitution and swear to uphold the Bible.' ➡

    • Top o’ th’ mornin’ to ye! So hit the pub, hoist a Guinness, do your best (or worst) brogue, wink at a pretty lass -- and if you find that pot o' gold, toss a piece or two my way, would you? ;) ➡

    • WüdiVisions Since all the recent babbling about cameras (and the lack thereof) has had photography back on my brain recently (not to mention rebuilding my iPhoto library), I've spent the night resurrecting my WüdiVisions photoblog. ➡
    • More conservative hijinks Two things pointed out to me in the comments for my last post that, while likely to increase your blood pressure, are worth knowing about: ➡
  • 2003
    • Ack! When did it get to be 3 A.M.? I've gotta get to bed... ➡
    • Damn straight …to ensure that our postwar policies are constructive and humane, based on enduring principles of peace and justice, concerned Americans should continue to speak out. ➡
    • Random downtime fixed Technically, this is a little less secure, as there is now a direct line between my webserver and the world, with no intervening firewall for protection, but OS X is fairly secure, and I'm willing to take that slight risk if it allows my sites to have better uptime. The Linksys does still protect the PC, however. Somehow I just can't justify leaving a Windows box open to the world, even if I think I've got it locked down. So much for 'trusted computing'. ➡
    • The speech follows no logical pattern The entire situation is reminiscent, as someone pointed out on Atrios, of the old Star Trek episode 'Patterns of Force' (in which) Federation history professor John Gill becomes the drugged leader of a Nazi planet. ➡
    • 48 hours 48 hours for Saddam to step down, or the US goes in with guns blazing. ➡
