I’m all moved in
This weekend kicked much butt. Rick came over both Saturday and Sunday to lend a hand, Candice let us use her truck, and between the two of us, we managed to get me completely moved this weekend. The entire process went much faster than I’d anticipated — the majority of the stuff came over on Saturday, with just a couple trips on Sunday to move the computer stuff over. As it stands now, all that’s left at the Shoebox is some cleaning stuff and my iMac, so I can keep the webserver online until the end of the month.
The new apartment (i’m going to have to come up with a name for this one — any suggestions?) isn’t completely finished, but the important stuff is unpacked and up and running (bed, A/V equipment, ‘puters, etc.). My after-work project for the next week or so is going to be going through all the boxes and getting completely situated in here.
So…that’s it for now. I’m in the new apartment — yay! :D
New e-mail addy redux
I’ve updated the original ‘New e-mail addy‘ post to reflect this, but the e-mail addy I thought was going to work…won’t. So, my real new public e-mail address is djwudi@myrealbox.com. Sorry for the confusion….
Oh, and incidentally, if you for any reason need a new e-mail address, give the guys at MyRealBox a try. Looks to be a good deal.
Nemesis
I’ll always have a soft spot for the original, but Paramount has just released the first promotional artwork for Star Trek X: Nemesis — a redesigned Romulan insignia! Gotta say, doesn’t look bad at all.
Drivers IDs are scary
I suppose it’s inevitable, but it’s still kind of scary when you read just how much can be gleaned about you from your drivers license.
I hate your politics!
Yeah, well I hate your politics, too! Beautifully written, very funny, and very true.
Liberals: …Liberals are politically able to have all sorts of freaky mammal sex but typically don’t; good liberal foreplay is a permission slip and three layers of impermeable barriers. The only vaguely liberal person we know of who seemed to enjoy sex in the last 30 years is Clinton, and look what he got out of it….
Conservatives: …Conservatives don’t actually bother to spend time with people who are not conservative, and thus become confused and irritable when people disagree with them; fundamentally can’t see how that’s even possible, which shows an almost charming intellectual naivete….
Libertarians: …Never got over the fact they weren’t the illegitimate children of Robert Heinlein and Ayn Rand; currently punishing the rest of us for it…. Blissfully clueless that Libertarianism is just great as long as it doesn’t actually involve real live humans….
Should gay priests adopt?
Okay, now this one’s interesting. A column by conservative columnist Ann Coulter, “Should gay priests adopt?” Is there a point in here somewhere, or is she just trolling (being intentionally inflammatory with little purpose other than riling people up)?
New York, New York
Some fascinating links courtesy of this MeFi thread to sites and books looking at the New York of the past.
Copies are evil
Aw, crud. Republican Alaskan senator Ted Stevens has joined the (if you’ll excuse me) idiots backing a bill that would ban the sale of all electronic devices without embedded copy-protection chips, according to this WIRED story. This is a Bad Thing, for reasons which Cory makes clear over at Boing Boing.
