Yesterday was St. Patties’ day-Erika bought me a green shirt and I forgot to wear it. Busted. One of Erika’s friends had a baby Tuesday. One of our church members has liver cancer and a short time to live. Congress passed a bill to drill in the ANWR. A judge in SF called the CA gay marriage ban unconstitutional. More people died in Iraq. More people died everywhere. More people were born everywhere. Couples made love. People fought. Life goes on. I’m busy working on icons for SQL Scanner. I have the yearly review coming up, and have to do 2. We’re going to DeBenneville Pines for an OC church retreat this weekend-it’s going to rain.
7 day recap: Erika went to a funeral Fri., movie day @ work, looked in on a Tae Kwon Do class with the kids, midterm Sat., went to a model train fair at the OC fairgrounds, walked around crystal court and ate at Ruby’s, late for church Sun.-was going to do childcare-no kids, work, OWL. Took the van in for service Mon., $1K later… Walked through Journey school Tue.-we’re applying-pray for us. Went to church for Sealight edit-Daga showed up but it was actually Weds…Back there on Weds.
Politics-well, I said something about all the politics I’m looking at right now. I was thinking about free speech as I came back from shipping a book for Amazon (do this if you have extra books, BTW). I guess you could say that we still have free speech, right? Yes, but if you’re restricted in receiving speech that is protected, it’s like a tree falling in a forest. There are some reasonable limits on speech, but I worry that they will get tightened if another 9/11 happens. It looks like Schiavo is finally going to get the rest she deserves. But now the US Congress is meddling. I’m tired of this sort of grandstanding-let the poor girl die. If it was 100 years ago, she’d be dead 10 years now…
I picked up folding@home. I wanted to get the Google one, but it didn’t work. I like these distributed apps. I had seti@home for the longest time, but it doesn’t work behind the firewall at work. I’m trying to get some of these as well: Gallery of Computation Really cool stuff. I got mediaWiki and friki. I finished making xhtml of my website, except for the resume-complicated markup, so I want to be careful.
Blake’s trial ended in acquittal, Jacko is still there, the case is looking interesting.
