Sigh.

This matters for America and other countries, too. There is now a precedent of a partner nation disconnecting users for alleged copyright infringement. This is a terrible moment for internet privacy and freedom. Sent from Newsie on iPhone  2010 Mar 5 04:56 UTC
 Once again no reliable timestamp, but my best guess would be between 2010 Feb 24 23:00 UTC and 2010 Feb 25 01:00 UTC. I could be off though. For the last several weeks I’ve gotten the podcast out on Monday. Today it is time for work and I didn’t manage to get all the pieces stuck together yet. So it will be later in the week again… at least Tuesday, perhaps later. Oh well! Streaks only last so long you know…
We watched The Eleventh Hour, the first full episode of Doctor Who with the Eleventh Doctor early on Sunday (UTC). I’d had some doubts about this new Doctor, but by the end of the episode I wasn’t too worried any more. This looks like it will be a fun new season with a fun new Doctor and companion. Amy had absolutely hated the new Doctor from all the stuff before this episode aired, but by the end she was saying things like “Is it wrong that I kind of like him now?”. Brandy still isn’t sure what she thinks. Regardless, a new season with new episodes every week for the next few months. Yea! We went looking around to try to figure out what it was. Most likely A few minutes ago there were two huge booms loud enough to shake the house, about a second apart. Nothing visible looking around outside the house, but sirens in the distance and one firetruck raced down our street on the way to somewhere else. Still no idea what it was. Am scouring local news sites, twitter, etc, but nothing yet. But it was enough to end quiet time in bed reading, and I’m getting up.  More from the pictures Cathy shared. I don’t have a reliable timestamp, but this was sometime between February 22nd at 21:22 UTC and February 23rd at 1:00 UTC. |
