I don't think the the lj content strike is going to make a difference, and I'm more interested in seeing how much of my reading list changes, if at all this weekend. If lj poops out, there are plenty of other sites that offer similar functionality... and my RSS reader will allow me to collect feeds from whoever wants me to read 'em.
Regarding teamorange - the first colorwar2008 scrimmages will begin in a few days. I'm interested to see what sort of project Ze has in mind. So far, I've found teams blue, verygreen, puce, chartreuse, purple, gold, plaid, red, pink, white, clear and brown in addition to orange. If any other players are reading this, let me know, so I can follow you on twitter! #FF6600, baby! [update: See also - colorwars - there's a team octarine!]
It seems ol' Ze has quite a following - but I knew that. I just hope he uses his mighty net-powers for good, rather than evil.
Lunch tomorrow with Adam and his twin bro Eric. It's always interesting to see them together, because they were raised in different households. Adam, at his mom's (and more to the point, mostly at Larry & Chris's), Eric at his pop's. Adam seems to be the more together kid, athletic, better in school, less shifty. Eric is the party guy, partying hard, skipping class and spending more time looking to mate than to study; I.e. typical 18-year-old male.
Nature vs Nurture, live and in front. Both are basically good guys, and similar as brothers can be - but hardly duplicates.
I sneakily added a video to the lunchtime rendezvous entry about a week or so back. Filmed with the palm-cam, the image is warmed, grainy, and silly, not to mention in quicktime format. For some reason, google video doesn't transfer sound properly form the palm video during the conversion, so I'm hosting it in my old lj archive location on my website. Speaking of which, I have a palm doodle there that reflects that there's still a lot of rain happening at the ol' bus stop, but I don't mind.
windy, too, though I don't have that much length anymore, hair-wise.
Best worth1000 competition in a while. Superhero ModRen some are better than others. I'm partial to this one.

Egg-dying went well... the white spots denote 4 eggs that cracked, and the ones TM took home for herself and MO. Adam took one - he'll be giving it to a girl at school - and he certainly enjoyed the fajitas that BHK made. Larry and Chris (and mostly Adam and Tina, too) spent the bulk of the visit glued to the tube while BHK and I did the majority of coloring. My faves are the family eggs (there's a Scotto, BHK, Pye and Newt in the mix) as well as a couple of oddballs - speckeld ones and hot pink / green... both of which are more vibrant than this photo shows. more in depth pictures later, possibly.
GP's got me interested in Encounter Critical. It's by S. John Ross, an added bonus (I dig the mechanics of Risus, though I've never played it.)
twitterwise, I'm on the Orange Team. icons when in civilian duds, and on team business.

How could I choose another color?
I really want the cell phone legislation banning use of a handset while driving in Maryland to pass. The beltway is rough enough without people crimping necks and not looking at the road. Whatever happened to the idea of pulling over to talk?
I'd love to see some sort of magic technology that blocks non-emergency cell phone use in the driver's side of a car while the wheels are moving.
Same goes for the front-seat DVD players, and audio systems that go louder than a range of safely hearing what's going on outside of the vehicle, as far as I'm concerned. Color me a fascist, but I don't need anyone being more distracted than they already are... If I could find a way to implement a breathalyser / urine tester for safe driving, I'd probably do that, too. And bumper-transponders that forbid tailgating based on the speed of the vehicles in question.
Heck, just use my magical wishing ring to stop all accidents - one of my characters, miniMAX first developed his size-changing abilities by trying to develop desolidity tech for vehicles... they never crash into one another!
After all those years, I still want a hyper-intelligent 4-inch tall talking ape to be my lab partner in fighting crime and solving the world's ills... or clean, safe teleportation technology. Or a magic wishing ring that can put people in protective bubbles, and heal them when they're hurt.
Thoughts about this is coming from the fact that I'm having trouble feeling a lot of sympathy for TM's uncle.... he apparently tried to kill himself by driving his car into oncoming traffic. Seriously... I understand being in pain and lashing out, but there are *PEOPLE* driving and acting as passengers in the other cars! If you want to off yourself, I have no problem with that... but leave everyone else out of it.
I feel bad for TM, though - she's been dealing with his nonsense for a long time, and right before this happened, she blew him off via the phone, and her other family did the same. I don't know all the details, but I hope that once he's out of the hospital he gets worthwhile treatment, and a maximum sentence for attempted suicide / attempted vehicular homicide / assault with a deadly weapon(car). I know his head is full of bad wiring, but I'm finding it very hard to forgive his behavior, no matter how sick he is. I just have to understand that he's not in his right mind, and hope that he is removed from driving and doing anything that can hurt anyone else until he is sufficiently repaired.

I've got some time to scrape up the money to do so... it's pretty dang cheap. My website's look has changed a few times over the years, as has the content under the hood... it is quite due for a fresh coat of paint, and a revisit to the links contained inside. I started my first website with ol' geocities in 94-ish, back when it was free, and before it was owned by yahoo. that arcane url is lost to me, maybe forever? Who knows if I can dig it up form the web sometime? either way, it was migrated to scottobear.com about 4 years later, and has remained there ever since.
From assorted sources (vchip, mgk, time) - a photo series of rival Kenyan tribes fighting for land with bows and arrows.
Look closely. This is Kenya, specifically a hill overlooking the Olmelil Valley, where Maasai warriors are clashing with members of the Kalenjin tribe on a regular basis. The tribal violence is a depressing comment on a country that only a year ago was promoted as a stable democracy in volatile West Africa. TIME has an interesting photo journal of the battles.
"Victims with arrows, sometimes poisoned, lodged in their heads and chests have become increasingly common", say officials in Rift Valley hospitals.“We were using swords but they were not effective,” says Sylvester, 24, slashing a knife in the air. “In a day we can make between 80 and 100 [arrows],” he adds, refusing to give his last name out of fear. Community members pool money together to buy the necessary tools in secret; the arrows are then distributed within the neighborhood. Local leaders know about the arrow factories, but police forces do not.
"We cannot know the time of day when they (Kalenjins) will come. If they catch you off guard, you're dead," says Samuel, 25, holding a bundle of ready arrows.
Kalenjin elders train their boys how to use bows and arrows from an early age, the Kikuyu men say. But Kikuyus have had to learn quickly to fight back with the same tools. Several secret workshops employing 50 workers churn out bows and arrows for munition. "We have no other choice for now," he says.

37.'was the data librarian for the Atari computer club, back when Atari actually made a home computer or twelve that were actually useful as office-type gizmo as well as game machines. I had an 800XL with a bank of happy chip modded 1050 floppy drives that I used for a BBS, but I also had an Atari ST, that I learned the bulk of my first usable programming knowledge on. (LOGO on the TI-99/4a notwithstanding - come to think of it, I did some Spirograph stuff on the ST, too.) When the club dissolved, I was left with a huge crate of free software... including some nifty CAD stuff, and a pile of MIDI music software. I dabbled for a while with both, but the programming was more interesting to me at the time. I suspect if you asked me now, I'd be fooling with a keyboard and midi cables. I built my first homebrew sound digitizer on the ST, and used it mostly to do startup, shutdown noises.. not to mention the occasional silly soundboard program.
Chewbacca is quite the dapper Victorian don't you think?
Via sci-fi scanner - Doctor Who Originally Conceived As an Insane, Malevolent LSD Junkie
Everyone knows Doctor Who: He's the malignant alien time-traveler hopping around the galaxy in an invisible UFO, right? With eyes filled with madness and a heart dripping with hate, he constantly pops tabs of LSD to relive the horrors of his immortal past. When he's not under the throes of a hallucinogen-induced bender, he is using his time-traveling UFO to pop into the past and stop the caveman from inventing the wheel, Isaac Newton from discovering gravity and Gutenberg from inventing the printing press... all to consolidate a horrific vision of the future that is entirely of his insane devising. Right? Right?
Well, no, of course not: The good Doctor is a benevolent force who hops around the universe in his TARDIS, trying to do good deeds and help the people he loves whenever possible. But bizarrely, this was not the original idea for Doctor Who, as the notes coming out of the BBC's archives make clear. Rather, he was originally brainstormed to be an insane, malevolent LSD junkie.
"A feature of the new Doctor will be the humour along the lines of the sardonic humour of Sherlock Holmes. The metaphysical change which takes place over 500 years or so is a horrifying experience... in which he relives some of the unendurable moments of his long life..." the archives read. "It's as if he has had the LSD drug and instead of experiencing the kicks, he has the hell and dank horror which can be its effect."
Needless to say, the producer shot this idea down, giving us the good Doctor we've all grown to love. But, my god. I would kill for this vision of the Doctor: an insane, time-traveling Dr. Gregory House.

Adam seems to be adjusting to living in an apartment near campus quite nicely... better place than I had in school, for sure... private bedroom with a private bathroom. I think he's adapting to a land full of college age girls very happily.
We picked up 8 new dress shirts and a pair of sweat pants at Value City for under $60. I still don't know how BHK's shopper-sense works, but I'm glad she uses it for the powers of good, rather than evil.
Got an hour or so of TF2 in before bed... tried to play with Helen and Mattie, but their server was maxed at 32.... I'm discovering that I like playing the medic and the scout.
I can't believe that I never knew that there is (soon to be "was" come 2009) Library of Congress police force.
The Library of Congress police force were formed in 1950 as an unarmed force that was designated to control entry and exit procedures for the library and its tunnels that connect the buildings to the rest of the Capitol complex. As of 1987, the LOC police have carried guns.

Wow... quite a turnout re: Anonymous vs Scientology. interesting pictures. shots from the DC protest.
Supporters of Anonymous, the loosely organized group of internet activists who have attacked the Church of Scientology recently with videos and server hacks, appeared outside D.C.'s Founding Church of Scientology center on Sunday. The protest was part of a planned "global day of action" with the stated purpose of setting off a government investigation into how Scientology got tax-exempt status.
The Feb. 10 protests, which took place in dozens of cities, were initially announced last month after a video attributed to Anonymous coincided with an online effort that managed to temporarily knock out servers belonging to the Church of Scientology. The date was chosen for the protest because Feb. 10 was the birthday of Lisa McPherson, who died of a pulmonary embolism in 1995 under the care of a branch of the Church of Scientology. (via DCist)

Toshiba has developed a new class of micro size Nuclear Reactors that is designed to power individual apartment buildings or city blocks. The new reactor, which is only 20 feet by 6 feet, could change everything for small remote communities, small businesses or even a group of neighbors who are fed up with the power companies and want more control over their energy needs.

I don't mind... I like gray days just fine. All sunshine makes a desert, right?
Bulk of the day was spent doing holiday decorations and prep for my Mother and Wilton coming up for the holidays. I like that tree is all gussied up and has the train underneath. Officially Yuletide now.
Larry and Chris came over and we all slurped some veggie soup. BHK also made a Cheese ball and Chef Boyardee Pizza that was really quite good. The in-laws bugged out early, but we got a little Adam visit for an hour before bedtime. He found the pickle on the Christmas tree in about 3 minutes. I suspect Bugah will find it more rapidly.
The robot is now packing the moniker "Pickle", at least as a nickname.
We played Wii for a bit - Mario brothers is older than Adam... and he's going to College. That's sort of frightening.
Christmas lights, Pye in a Wreath, Newt and the train, Pretzel Walruses, our two favorite new ornaments... robot and ship in a bottle.
Tannenbaum Express-cam will be set up online shortly... probably by midweek.

Took off early this morning to snag a few allergy shots, and then we swung by Maerten's to check out plans for BHK's ring. I was going to have it be a surprise, but when design considerations came up, I opted for her input... she's the one that'll be wearing it after all.
I wonder how many people buy an engagement ring for their spouse, 14 months after the wedding day?
We hashed out a few designs with Heather, and I think that the one that was finalized will be lovely. I'm looking forward to the CAD images sometime this week before the casting. If this one works out well, I think a Mexican Day of the Dead "skull ring" could be next on the list.
Later, we went to the local farm grocer, grabbed lunch and a broad assortment of candy-type stuff to put in X-mas stockings.
The chocolate drops intended for Larry were not destined to survive.
They were, however, delicious. He'll get other candy, love it and never be the wiser. We're not bad people.
The in-laws had a little trouble finding the train store, so we met with them for a little bit... Larry and I talked trains while BHK and Chris went to the kids bookstore and got a little treat or two for Em and maybe Bugah.
We parted company - BHK got a flash of brilliance - and we stopped and got the final piece of Chris's prezzie.... not mentioned in case she's reading this. (I don't think she is, but better safe than sorry.)
Following that, we hit our favorite friendly neighborhood gaming store, Aardvark's - got some goodies for Louise, Cathy and Dave. Added bonus, Mike gave us the Fluxx Party pack and a Larry the Zombie to go with our Looney Labs purchases. Score! I've been wanting a radioactive potato, and now we have two! (Larry {the card, not the father-in-law} is the zombie equivalent.)
I think we've got everyone covered for presents except for Adam and Matt. That shouldn't be too traumatic.
I ran out of juice by the end of the day... not sure where all my energy went, unless it was the sugar blues post about 1000 chocolate drops.

Dinner with the in-laws and adam - played a little destroy all humans after tasty chicken-egg noodle type-dish (hot dogs for larry). The canned veggie-chicken was cooked up to be really darn tasty, as was the mushroom gravy. The veggie gravy would be excellent on biscuits with a little black pepper, too, I suspect!

Brisk weather outside - lovely stuff, helps my breathing quite a bit. I could actually see my breath the other night when we picked up last minute gift bags for Tina's party last night...we're hitting my seasonal weather of choice. I'm looking forward to wearing a jacket.
Dashed off to the Giant with BHK - we bought some cold cuts and cheese to make ourselves some picnic lunch outside... sat on the bench and made each other sammiches. Best meal I've had in a while - I'd rather eat stuff that fresh and enjoy the weather than go to a big restaurant. I really preferred it to tonight's spaghetti dinner, in fact. Louise is renowned for for her spaghetti sauce, but I'm more of a fan of (Gordon Ramsey alert) Simple / Rustic style of cooking. In fact, BHK and I both have been found using that as commentary on food (and whatever else) these days. Like calling Marco Polo out... if one of us says Simple there is bound to be an echo of Rustic not too far behind. Hey, it's better than picking up his swearing habit, I guess.
Louise's sauce and pasta was supplemented by Tina's new beau Matt's meatballs, which I hear were pretty tasty, especially the beef. The turkey ones looked good, but maybe a bit dry. His sauce looked decent - I wonder how it mixed with Louise's?
The in-laws brought salad, and BHK made the birthday cake - carrot, with autumnal colored sprinkles in the cream cheese frosting. it was pretty darn tasty - somehow, still warm after our meal.
Tina got a lot of jewelry as loot - we gave her 1001 places to see before you die , some pedicure knickknacks and a necklace with a pearl and a pink shell motif. Louise did pearls for her too.. very similar to those she got BHK for her b'day. In-laws got her a heart necklace and earring set in sterling (I think), and some nice black gloves. I don't know what Matt got her.
I won our game of apples to apples (that's what we picked up last minute earlier - it was that or play boggle... and not a lot of folks have the scrabble / spelling ferocity or Carcassonne bent that BHK and I do) - since there were 7 of us (Adam had to bail early for his church group) we played to 5 victories best answer was Larry's "wood chipper" to "sappy".

Here's mine - (I kept going, to answer all the questions. My first pass had a lot more computer/social worker stuff)
- Epidemiologist - Sounds interesting, but I don't have *any* solid training for it. Could come in handy for the coming zombie apocalypse... or preventing one! Best case, already in a clean house-type bunker. Worst case, that's where the epidemic starts. I guess if I worked for a villain, before dying, I could at least say that I worked in a lair fashioned inside of a dormant volcano, under the sea in a bubble-city, or from a satellite lab in high-earth orbit.
- Oceanographer - I still haven't finished reading Fluke, but I do enjoy marine biology. I imagine the optimal life doing that sort of thing... maybe like an idyllic remake of the Flipper TV or Jonny Quest. Living in the keys, fighting pirates, discovering sea-monsters, etc. Would I get a hydrofoil and cool
