2005.11.11 at 01:35 AM CST So Texas did what I expected, and passed a constitutional amendment defining marriage as between a man and a woman (76% for to 24% against), though true to painfully humorous Texas politics, the wording is vague enough that it may very well invalidate common law marriage (or more), too. One small consolation is that Travis county (where I live) was 40% for and 60% against and the only county in the state that overall voted against the amendment. In contrast to Texas, Maine kept its statewide anti-discrimination law that covers sexual orientation (roughly 55% to keep and 45% to repeal). It is somewhat sad that they had a referendum on it at all, but I think they did the correct thing by keeping the law. :)
2005.11.07 at 07:50 PM CST A snippet of irc to add a little perspective to your day...
2005.11.01 at 03:00 AM CST Just a quick post... Today, Nikon announced new camera gear, the D200 and a new macro flash.
2005.10.28 at 01:05 AM CDT This past weekend was a very good one (and my birthday weekend). A certain cute guy picked it for a visit to Texas. It is an understatement to say that I enjoyed his visit. :-) On Tuesday, I wasn't really ready for him to leave or me to have to go back to work. In the time between taking him to the airport and arriving at work an emotionally raw me thought "fucking 1000 miles..." at least once. No matter what does or doesn't happen, I care about this one, and wouldn't trade the time I have spent with him. A few photos from this weekend...
And now for some politics... First off, early voting has started for Texas' upcoming election considering nine constitutional amendments. So go register to vote, find your polling place, and vote early or on November 8. Recently, a group that appears to be friendly to the cause for gay rights, noticed that the wording of TX Proposition 2 could be vague enough to dismantle all marriage in the state. Upon reading this I had to laugh. It would be amusing for the group supporting Prop. 2 to shoot themselves in the foot so "eloquently." Almost amusing enough for me to consider voting for 2. (I voted early, and voted against 2, so don't worry.) See the NNN blog and information on the state of marriage and similar arrangements around the US.
2005.08.29 at 01:15 AM CDT So I helped a friend move most of his belongings that require two people to carry from his old place to the new (about two houses down the same street). While I was there, I took the chance to let his cats become comfortable enough with me for me to give them attention and take a few pictures. The left picture is Moonface, and the middle is Thistle.
Also, the flickr "addiction" continues, though I have yet to give in and get a Pro account. Anyway, the rightmost picture is among several I have uploaded. Continuing in the photography geek vein, I also recently read a review of the Nikon D2X. It is far more camera than I would want to pay for, or could justify "needing." But it does have some nifty features. :) Finally, a bit related to Mother Nature... First an interesting view of the planet we call home. And second, pictures relating to Hurricane Katrina.
2005.08.15 at 04:30 AM CDT Happy birthday to a certain Leo (who lives too far away). ;)
2005.08.10 at 03:25 PM CDT Congratulations to all those involved with Discovery's recent mission. :)

In other news, I went on vacation about two weeks ago. My trip was to Maine to visit my mom and to Chicago to meet a certain boy. ;) To be brief, I had a very good time. There are photos, of course, though not many from Chicago (*wink*). Most of you who were curious have already bugged me, but for those that haven't, my stop in Chicago was a first date, though he and I have been communicating for a good while now. I have fond memories and can be happy with just that visit. Given the distance there is no telling what, if anything, may happen. Despite my continuing to be as rational as I can about it, I have my hope for something more, though again, I have no idea of the what, when, where, or how. For the time being, I enjoy our interaction, so I have no complaints. I do have an amusing, vacation-related anecdote to share. I was out of Texas for about eight days, during which I did no driving. Upon my return, the first four or five times I was driving myself around town, I was surprised to see Texas license plates. This was followed by the requisite internal "duh!" I don't know what was different about this trip, as I've been out of Texas for longer periods without similar occurrence.
2005.07.08 at 01:35 AM CDT Some humor from irc relating to the US DoHS threat level system...
Update: Jumping cats pictures located from what appears to be the original photographer.
2005.06.21 at 04:30 AM CDT Thanks to Google Sightseeing I just found that Google Maps has added satellite imagery for much of the world. They do not have map data for most of it, so knowing the geography for the area at which you are looking is useful. At any rate, I was able to scroll past parts of Japan and Spain. I foresee an hour or more of upcoming entertainment. In other news, is it bad, for several reasons, to be very ready for upcoming vacation? ;) Entries (most recent to oldest): 1 - 10 | 11 - 20 | 21 - 30 | 31 - 40 | 41 - 50 | 51 - 60 | 61 - 70 | 71 - 80 | 81 - 90 | 91 - 100 | 101 - 110 | 111 - 120 | 121 - 130 | 131 - 140 | 141 - 150 | 151 - 154 |
