. . -- MDCXXIII -- So November 30 through December 2 of this year was the ten-year anniversary of the WTO riots in Seattle, and the Capitol Hill Blog has been posting several entries commemorating it, including a post listing individual people's memories of it. It's very appropriate for the Capitol Hill Blog -- as opposed to other neighborhood blogs -- to do this, because the police...

. . -- MDCV -- So, what did I do yesterday? Hmm . . . I read part of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies . (Indeed, committing to an hour of reading per day is really getting me through the book much more quickly than before -- although it's also preventing me from getting any exercise, as it's too dark now to read while walking home and so I've been busing.) I bought a bottle of dishwasher...

. . -- MDXCVIII -- My experience with Twitter is turning slightly toward the surreal. At work, I now have settings at cotweet.com that emails me any tweet with " @pcc " in it, so that I, along with Ricardo, can track when PCC gets mentioned. (Soon Ricardo will help me also get tweets with us "PCC" in it, when people talk about us without linking to us with an "@" symbol.) This helps us...

. . -- MDXCVII -- I've been falling behind on my LiveJournal friends list again, but it doesn't seem to matter right now, as once again, all my RSS feeds are not loading. Is this happening to you again too, susandennis ? Speaking of susandennis , her journal is packed with suspense today! I'm on pins and needles over here. It almost makes up for not being able to see Dilbert...

. . -- MDXCI -- God. This week! This week has not been kind to me. I'm busier than a one-armed paper-hanger at work, and any evening this week not spent going to the movies has pretty much been spent dealing with my iMac committing hari kari. (I mean, except when I was watching TV.) Okay, I'll admit I didn't actually see the computer split its own guts open, but that doesn't mean it...

. . Shobhit and I took Barbara with us to Costco yesterday morning, and as soon as we picked up Barbara, Shobhit realized we had forgotten the Costco coupon book at home, so we went back to pick it up. I had been driving, so I parked right in front of the Braeburn on Pine, and Shobhit went inside to get it. And that was when Barbara saw Dre, a young woman she works with. Barbara got out to...

. . -- MDLXXV -- LiveJournal is irritating me lately. None of the RSS feeds on my friends list are working, which means the only entries showing up are ones originating from LiveJournal. I learned something new, I guess: susandennis is the only LiveJournal user on my friends list who continues to update with reliable regularity. Hell, even the seattle community can have...

. . I watched four different movies yesterday. That's essentially what I spent my entire day doing. Shobhit has discovered the "watch now" option of Netflix via TiVo in a way he never has before, and whenever he runs out of interesting TV to watch, he peruses the "watch now" queue. He found the PBS documentaries Before Stonewall and After Stonewall in my queue, and so he asked me in the...

. . I had an interesting mini discussion with susandennis this morning -- about dials on television sets. Okay, you might not find it that interesting. But I do, so I'm going to tell you about it! It all started with this passage from her original entry : Do not touch that dial! (whoa! ooooold reference! wonder how many people would head scratch over that one?) Well . . . not...

. . -- MDLXIV -- Holy shit! I found an awesome new set of charts and lists! According to this page , Seattle has the ninth-largest gay (or, more specifically, GLB) population. This is apparently based on Census data, from which only same-sex couple data can be gleaned, as I understand it, so I would presume these figures are fairly conservative, at least when it comes to specific sub...
