Because you can never see behind me often enough.

It Was Bad When Bush Did It.
It was just as bad when Bush defended it. And it’s just as bad when Obama defends it.
From Glenn Greenwald:
That means that all 3 federal judges to consider the question have concluded that Bush’s NSA program violated the criminal law (FISA). That law provides that anyone who violates it has committed a felony and shall be subject to 5 years in prison and a $10,000 fine for each offense. The law really does say that. Just click on that link and you’ll see. It’s been obvious for more than four years that Bush, Cheney, NSA Director (and former CIA Director) Michael Hayden and many other Bush officials broke the law — committed felonies — in spying on Americans without warrants. Yet another federal judge has now found their conduct illegal. If we were a country that actually lived under The Rule of Law, this would be a huge story, one that would produce the same consequences for the lawbreakers as a bank robbery, embezzlement or major drug dealing. But since we’re not such a country, it isn’t and it doesn’t.
Seriously, Obama. Put this stuff behind you.

MMORPG Slot Filled
So, I play WoW. If you’re interested, this is me:
Lupus
I play on Shattered Hand, currently with an endgame PvE guild, Cold Blooded. I used to be more PvP oriented (I started Panther Moderns in Shadowbane and we moved to WoW when it released), but the arenas pretty much killed that for me. I prefer larger scaled encounters, and even 5v5s are too cramped for my style. They just don’t make PvP for AoE mages, anymore.
My /played is approaching a full year. For those not in the know, that doesn’t mean I’ve had an account for almost a year. It means, quite literally, that I’ve spent almost 365 real days in elapsed real time playing this game. That’s roughly 80% of full “expert” status, according to some.
Yes, I just tri-meta’d grinding. Pretty neat trick, non?

Brave New Shit
April Fool’s. It’s a new thing. I’m ditching the vanity-ware that doesn’t work. Well, it works, it just doesn’t get me out of my own way enough to foster publishing anything regularly. WordPress will be bearing the brunt of my ire, exasperation, and technological perversions for the foreseeable future.
Why WP? Why not? My host makes it easy. I like php, or I at least understand it and can work on it without paying a development tax to any particular company. I can even host the whole thing on my laptop. It’s css friendly. Not that anything else isn’t any of that. Just, WP is that, so it’s what I use. Now.
Should you care? At the risk of telling you what to think, and therefore starting a proper fight, No. You shouldn’t. But what you should care about is that I know how to style a WordPress site, at the very least. So, if you know anyone who needs that done, in trade for money or other fungible goods, send them here.
Sweet Dreams.
