I’m sick with the Flu today and not feeling especially articulate, so I’ll just express my best wishes for you all with a picture from one of my favorite websites:
First of all, I’d like to wish a very merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, etc., etc., to everyone. I hope that the holiday season treats you all as well as you deserve, and that it brings you many happy memories. Secondly, OMG SNOW!!! It’s been snowing here for about a week straight now, and my area [...]
I could probably post a long commentary about how there are active voter suppression efforts under way this year, as there are in every election cycle, and how it allows corrupt politicians to effectively control and shape a process that is supposed to allow us to have a voice in government, but I doubt anyone [...]

I don’t participate in contests and tournaments much anymore, due at least in part to comments made by one well-known fighter after our duel where she said that it was apparent I was using my position as a C:SI developer to cheat (I wasn’t, so that really upset me), but one of the things I [...]
I can’t even count the number of times that Linden Lab® has announced problems with the Asset Servers (hours after real people notice the problem first) followed by a [RESOLVED] notice.
