I haven't blogged in awhile but this is important.  Andy Carvin is a good guy just in general.

Stop Cyberbullying.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Lots of people in my life are getting married and/or having babies right now.  I guess I am at "that age" and it will not slow down for several years.  In fact, we're going to a wedding this coming weekend.  Last week we were at a bris.  In the last week, I've found out about two engagements, both involving people I love very much.

Let's keep the good news coming, OK?  I like it.

I am working with someone who is performing a service which will end up with my receipt of a physical object.  There are lots of options involved in this object - like a car, but not a car.  I've told this person what I want it to look like a couple of times.  He disagrees with one of my selections.  I told him that I recognize that he has a lot of experience, but I prefer the way I selected.  Then today, he again asked me to choose from the two options, my choice and his preference.  I emailed my preference.  Then, again, he asked me to choose.

I really couldn't give a rat's ass what he prefers.  I want what I want.  Those of you who know me know that I go after what I want and I generally get it.  This is such a small thing, why does he care?  It's my object.  If he didn't want to give me options, he simply shouldn't have in the first place.

How many times do I have to say that I'm not changing my mind?

I have met Cory Doctorow.

It was 2002 when I started working on/with/near Creative Commons (before he did, but that's beside the point).  And it was 2003 when I started dating Joey, who's known him since the late 90's.

But it took 'til 2007 to actually get us in the same room.  He lived up to the hype.

Cheers, Cory.  Great to finally see you.
