I overheard this on a mailing list I belong to. Much redacted to protect the innocent, and the guilty. The topic was, “how to keep people from tagging art work”.

 Tagging will happen.

SEVERAL YEARS AGO we worked around the clock and through sand storms to finish “that stupid [redacted].”   Late one evening [person] walked up behind a very large dude tagging the freshly stained [art].   The tagger was sporting two large and long dreadlocks right out of the top of his head.   Suddenly his hair style changed to a uni-dread as [person] grabbed him by the head and threw him to the ground effectively scalping the guy.

As a warning to the rest of the taggers, [person] tied the scalped dread to his [object] and [left] it hanging there for the rest of the event.

Take what you will from this, everything has consequences.

Here’s a nice little guide to holding effective meetings that I came across. It’s written for volunteer based organizations but is appropriate for any

Phoey! I just found Penn Radio a few months ago on podcast. I went looking for it today and it’s gone :-( . He stopped broadcasting the show in March but my podcasting just caught up to it.

I was really starting to get into it. I simply loved the latest “Pull of the Weasel Friday” episode.

Phoey!

Last night Charlotte and I had dinner with the Evil Mad Scientists, got a good look at the CandyFab 4000 among other things, had a fabulous meal with their family. Their home made gelato was waay better than ice cream, and home made tortellini, and pizelles and …! Foodies!

It should be noted that there’s just one day left in the auction of a holy relic that they found sitting on the print-bed of the CandyFab one day. You should bid it up.

We bought a TIG welder (a Lincoln Electric Precision TIG 225 with foot pedal and cart) so we can weld together the orbs for SWARM. I played with it yesterday with Michael and weeee!

Yeah, I know. Sometimes it runs really really slow, sometimes looks funny and sometimes its der broken. I’m working on fixing it with help from Dreamhost’s techs.

Again and again and again…. grrrrr.

Senator Boxer, Senator Feinstein,
I ask you to please support the Internet Radio Equality Act and become a co-sponsor. It serves to keep the playing field level between broadcast radio and internet radio. Internet radio is currently a viable, legitimate business. Without this Act, webcasting fees would completely kill this industry… and for no good reason except to keep entrenched broadcast radio stations in business in the face of legitimate competition.

Thank you very much,
Lee Sonko
