Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

At least you got a rock.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
2 weeks? Dude. Already?
Yep - he'll be exactly 2 weeks old tomorrow.
It's kind of unbelievable how much it feels like he just got here and has also been here forever. Looking at the pictures we took in the hospital, it's amazing how much more like a person he already looks.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Yeah, my mind is more or less blown.
What's awesome is that no one has to go in and establish all these relations between different images - it's automatic. julianan puts it well - it's like it builds a virtual world, except it's the real world. With maybe tons of metadata that others have entered.

I will not bang my head on my desk. I will not bang my head on my desk. I will not bang my head on my desk. I will not bang my head on my desk. I will not bang my head on my desk. I will not bang my head on my desk. I will not bang my head on my desk.
I just got a last minute request to port a bunch of op code over to a test system that I don't know a damned thing about and it sounds like they don't know much about the op system either, and uhrng. I don't know how to answer, but I have to answer. Uhrng.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Ooh. Have audio now.
Nifty.
I love the web, you know? I think I've worked out ways to stay in it forever. But I mustn't.
I have to say that the ER visit on Sunday was a bear, lasted 10 hours too long, asked a great deal of a dear friend, made me weep like a baby, etc.
Also? I feel so much better right now. Better in a way that makes it obvious I didn't know how bad I felt before. Because I'm not out of pain--I have a bit of a sore neck and a level 2 headache. But I have a brain, and I haven't had the same damned headache so long that I downgraded its level just to make getting out of bed easier. A beginning and an end are really making a difference.

Link not mindblowing for me, but is browser crashing.
Sara, no head to desk action please. As frustrating as the requests may be.
I have to clean my classroom. I am not thrilled at the prospect.
In happier news: happy birthday to JZ and happy anniversary to Sparky and husband.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I'm sorry for the brutal ER visit, but so incredibly happy that you're in dramatically less pain!

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I love the web, you know? I think I've worked out ways to stay in it forever. But I mustn't.
Dude, I'm just waiting for my chance to punch deck.
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, SPARKY & DH!!
Also? I feel so much better right now.
That is awesome news.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Happy birthday JZ and happy anniversary Sparky!
I found the demo both amazing a wee bit creepy in that there-is-no-personal-privacy-anymore kind of way.
Less pain is good, as is SUMMER VACATION. Which reminds me, I should go waste the rest of my day cleaning. feh.
