It's War! 30 August 2001

5:16 PM: Heh. In a very tame, unequal sense, anyway.

Which is about yes, I did go to the Dmitry Sklyarov fundraiser yesterday. And hey, here it is in the actual Yahoo News page! OK, it's a story from the ZDNet wire, not exactly Reuters or the Times. Didn't even get a story in the Comical for bug's sakes.

It's all quite evil. They want to throw this poor guy in jail for 25 years. For doing his job, writing a program for a company in Russia - a program that's perfectly legal there - that would let someone who had paid for an Adobe ebook make a copy of it. Oh yeah, now that's a threat to public safety. Lawrence Lessig summed it up best: "This is really fucked."

Tonight and tomorrow night is Thinking Fellers Union Local 282 and that is a good thing. Soup today. Peanut M&Ms for Snack!®, a decent one for a change. They're going to get rid of it soon anyway. Eh. I just realized that Monday is a holiday. I want tomorrow to be a holiday too.

2:26 AM: Ex-Girl fucking ROCKS!!! They're absolutely amazing. It's a caLAMity! Read all about them here. My favorite quote:

eX-Girl - "You will know us by the trail of dead."

Thinking Fellers were great, too. Can't wait for the show tomorrow. People who don't go, it's their loss.

Willfully blind self-indulgent nebbish or amusingly quirky old coot? And how bout that local sports team? Discuss among yourselves.
