Should you dig back through my archives, please keep in mind that the further in the past a post was published, the more likely it is that the information has become outdated or my beliefs have changed. I sincerely believe that learning, growing, examining, and often changing beliefs is an integral part of being a responsible human being. My personal journey socially and politically has been ever leftwards, and there are many posts in the archives that I would not write the same way today, if at all. Thanks for understanding!

- Christmas 2012 Wishlist Dad asked me to post my Christmas wish list, so here I go. As usual, what follows is links to four separate Amazon wish lists, as my occasional OCD tendencies mean I categorize my greed. Though I don't expect anyone other than my parents to get me anything...I've been surprised in the past, so feel free to indulge! ;) ➡

- Close the Washington Monument ''Terrorism isn't a crime against people or property. It's a crime against our minds, using the death of innocents and destruction of property to make us fearful.... But when we refuse to be terrorized, when we're indomitable in the face of terror, the terrorists fail -- even if their attacks succeed.'' ➡
- The Proverbial Sausage Factory This is a fascinating look at a trial from a juror's perspective: hearing the evidence, trying to balance all the factors and evidence in coming to a decision, and watching the legal system at work. Perhaps of particular interest to me as a Law and Justice student, but the kind of thing that I think would be interesting no matter what. ➡

- Dead Milkmen tour diaries How very, very cool. Dean Clean, drummer for the Dead Milkmen, is posting his tour diaries from the band's first days of touring back in 1985. ➡
- Amazon linking techniques According to onfocus, Amazon has changed the way they link to wishlists, breaking current wishlist links in the process…later in the comments, an interesting tidbit of information was posted…and all this reminded me of an important note from Jason Kottke regarding linking to items on Amazon with your Amazon Associates ID. ➡
