No Censorship

2012-01-19T10:46:00.002-05:00

Seems the Blackout was successful in many ways. Stay vigilant, folks. If there is an interest, I'm considering making this available as an 11x17 poster. Contact me via email or Twitter.

Blackout

2012-01-17T19:23:00.002-05:00

Blacking out on January 18th from 8am–8pm EST.

A technical examination of SOPA and PROTECT IP

Stopped they must be; on this all depends.

"The freedom, innovation, and economic opportunity that the Internet enables is in jeopardy. Congress is considering legislation that will dramatically change your Internet experience and put an end to reddit and many other sites you use everyday. Internet experts, organizations, companies, entrepreneurs, legal experts, journalists, and individuals have repeatedly expressed how dangerous this bill is. If we do nothing, Congress will likely pass the Protect IP Act (in the Senate) or the Stop Online Piracy Act (in the House), and then the President will probably sign it into law. There are powerful forces trying to censor the Internet, and a few months ago many people thought this legislation would surely pass. However, there’s a new hope that we can defeat this dangerous legislation."

I'm thinking The Bloggess is a bit magical. Giant metal chickens, silver ribbons and red dresses. I saw "thousands of strangers offering ball-gowns and formal dresses and free photo shoots to other strangers" originating from Jenny's Twitter.

I can't offer near the excitement but I did create a quick iron on transfer for the guys and gals who'd prefer it. You can download the 8.5 x 17 png, already reversed, and print out your own transfer. If the background looks black online, be sure it will download transparent. Go say hi to Jenny, and really, go follow her on Twitter. Magic. Enjoy.

2011-11-17T04:45:00.001-05:00

Dragon Age: Redemption Go watch it. You can watch all 6 episodes in just around an hour or so. Well worth your time. Even if you're not a gaming sci-fi fantasy fan, check out the acting, the sets, the props. Awesome work all around. And, for a really super treat go to the BarnYard and let Greg guide you through the making of DA:R. You will need a lot more than an hour, though, starting with the making of Felicia Day's TALLIS costume through all six episodes. Inspiring.

Revisited because...
Nephew: Where's their heads?
Me: Sorta above the fold... sorta looking over the top, where you can't see them... uh...
Nephew: Why did you cut off their heads?
Me: ... :-/

So, the more I thought about it... he's right, their heads should be seen. I guess. Because really I still have no good reason why. We may revisit this again, after I consult with The Boy again.

A perfect word

2011-09-28T14:39:00.002-04:00

Patricia wants to know how God has given you a perfect word to encourage and strengthen you.

Deut 30:19-20
I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and curse. Therefore choose life, that you and your offspring may live; loving the LORD your God, obeying His voice and holding fast to Him, for He is your life and length of days, that you may dwell in the land that the LORD swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.

Good advice...
