I never post here. Sorry about that. I wrote this today during a boring meeting in response to a question about copyright of Bell System Practices on a mailing list I'm on. Figured I'd share it here as well ( Read more... )

I was listening to Russ Feingold's speech during the debate on S.J. Res. 12 during the 109th Congress on my way to work this morning.

I've been watching a lot of the Olympics recently. The Track and Field events started within the last day or so. And while I love the events, it also brings with it something that annoys the hell out of me: improper use of the flag. For some time now it's been standard practice for American medal winners to grab a flag out of the audience and ( Read more... )

I never really talk about personal stuff here but figured I'd make an exception.

I went on a hike today with my lovely girlfriend Liz and ended it with my lovely fiancée Liz. FTW!
