It's been a particularly busy week and will continue to be at least through tomorrow, so here's what's in store:
-
Something on the California power crisis
-
Something on urban planning, or the lack of it
-
Something on why I probably won't be living in Washington in a year, for real (I think it's serious this time)
-
Something on the visit to Canada
-
A followup on other things that happened over Christmas in Holland, that I meant to write when I got home but was out of commission with the flu instead
-
A site reorg, which will probably involve moving things like the California power crisis piece and some of the earlier rants from here over to fedward.org (there's content there now, for those of you who didn't notice that the button caption changed), and may possibly include retiring this diary, as this is a year old and I'm starting to feel that I'm repeating myself
The desire not to repeat myself is pushing me in the no-diary direction, or at least in the no-diaryland direction, as it's not like I can't do diary things on my domain. Duh.
Anyway, look for more content here touching on the above topics once I get the chance.

Compliance with the injunction will require the defendants to provide to the court and Despair, Inc. a report, in writing under oath, setting forth in detail the manner and form in which the defendant has complied with the injunction to destroy any email in which they have used the offending mark. Despair has also petitioned the court to require defendants to submit a handwritten letter which repeats the phrase ":-( is a registered trademark of Despair, Inc." one-thousand times. A ruling on the petition is expected within a week.
Hoo hah. That both rocks and is terribly frightening.

Bruce Sterling lists thirteen ways to look at the blackouts in California. I've got a rant bubbling up about that myself, but I haven't had the time to put it together.
