Got through yesterday in better shape than I expected. The work seemed to fall together in the morning. Lunch and groceries, no problem there. The FMR party was good, and then I headed towards home, with a stop at the Sporty for dinner, and a beer or three, skipping out on another dinner invite I just didn’t have the energy for. I think it was for the best. I was burned out from chatting up people at the party, and sitting and working on the crossword while gabbing with Jim was just about the right speed.
Today, some work. Many errands. Party in the evening. Tomorrow is pretty well planned, too. Sunday looks like a day of rest, and I’m sure I’ll be ready for it.
- Bush is probably going to sign the Intelligence Reform bill into law today. And for some reason, the news that caught my eye this morning was all related to it. About the only good news about the thing is that initially, it will cause
chaos in spades.
For those of you who don’t care much about this sort of thing, sorry. I don’t have much for you today. - Use a stamp robot, get your picture taken. As the EPIC Postal Privacy Page says, the machine will hold your picture for thirty days. I guess maybe in case you’re a terrorist mailing something with the stamps you didn’t want to buy from a human who’ll forget you before you’re out the door. [boing boing]
- A guy blogged John Perry Barlow’s motion to suppress In the Superior Court of California, County of San Mateo. Barlow’s attorney argues that the search was illegal. The government’s attorney objects to nearly everything, saying that they need to protect the secrecy of airport security. [boing boing]
- In other news from the war on terror, Bush Prepares for Possible GPS Shutdown because, y’know, terrorists will never be able to find anything to blow up without their GPSes. And they’d never think of using GLONASS, the Russian system, or Galileo, the system the EU is thinking about building. [claire]
