Stop Cyber Spying Week (CISPA)

Under CISPA, any company can “use cybersecurity systems to identify and obtain cyber threat information to protect the rights and property” of the company. This phrase is being interpreted to mean monitoring your communications—including the contents of email or private messages on Facebook. Right now, well-established laws, like the Wiretap Act and the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, prevent companies from routinely monitoring your private communications. Communications service providers may only engage in reasonable monitoring that balances the providers' needs to protect their rights and property with their subscribers' right to privacy in their communications. And these laws expressly allow lawsuits against companies that go too far. CISPA destroys these protections by declaring that any provision in CISPA is effective “notwithstanding any other law” and by creating a broad immunity for companies against both civil and criminal liability. This means companies can bypass all existing laws, as long as they claim a vague “cybersecurity” purpose." More details and what to do here.

Movie...
Just got in from watching the 70th Anniversary of Casablanca at the local movie theater. It was a real treat to watch it on the big screen! Current Mood:  bouncy | | Tuesday, March 6th, 2012 | | 9:32 pm |
RIP Henry Bestwick...aka Waarhorse.
I'm feeling somewhat numb and rather depressed at the moment...I just found out that a long friend Henry Bestwick, otherwise known as Waarhorse died last Friday of a heart attack. He was a really good guy...one that I would have readily covered his back if he ever needed it (Literally...we were nicknamed "The Bookends" when we worked security at Conifur NW). A quick wit...a great attitude...and despite his tough outer shell, a heart of gold and fluff. He was always being kidded about being "Cute"...and would always reply in a gruff manner "Not Cute". If anyone has any clue about how he affected the fandom...the response can be seen in the journals on FA...he touched everyone he met...

Earworm!!
I've been having the theme music from Lupin the Third bouncing around in my head for the past week...not that it's a bad thing... Current Mood: bouncy | | Wednesday, November 30th, 2011 | | 8:11 pm |

*BLARG*
I hate being sick...especially when it doesn't follow rhyme nor reason. I missed work on Saturday because I was sick to my stomach...slept literally until 1930 in the evening, got up for a few hours and then back to bed. Sunday I went to work feeling drained but OK. Had a sausage biscuit for breakfast and then yogurt about 2000 and that was it. Then at 0130, I started puking my guts up for the next two hours. Called out of work this morning and then slept until 1530. Still have had only yogurt and a pack of crackers, and my Blood sugar is "normal"( 129). Now I have to see about doing two 12 hour days tomorrow and Wednesday to make up for this mess. Feh! Current Mood: drained | | Friday, September 30th, 2011 | | 11:07 pm |
Space Battleship Yamato...
Just got my copy today and am watching it...fairly good given that they had to fit everything into a couple hours. I might even be bringing this with me to FurFright. Current Mood: tired | | Wednesday, August 24th, 2011 | | 10:24 pm |
I hate computers...
I'm sitting in Norfolk VA, and I've got a new laptop that's driving me up the wall. The loaded version of Office isn't working, and the computer won't load 2010. I REALLY effing hate Windows 7!!! I've loaded AVG and Malwarebytes and run both, but to no avail...So much for even trying to edit a Tai Pan story in my off time... Current Mood:  pissed off | | Monday, August 15th, 2011 | | 8:35 pm |
Space Battleship Yamato Movie
Just watched the Space Battleship Yamato live movie on youtube with subtitles for anyone who's interested. Many twists... | | Tuesday, July 12th, 2011 | | 9:56 pm |

One of those moments...
Just got back from the Boston Blackmore's Night Concert...hearing Ritchie wail out "Smoke on the Water" from his Deep Purple days was just flat out amazing! Also witnessed a rear end collision on the way home...tried to get the plate number of the guy who did it (they were drunk), only to find the victim had driven off as well...

Here's wishing you a Happy Yule, Merry Christmas, Happy Kwanzaa, Happy Hanukkah, or whatever you observe. I'm back in NC visiting family and playing Santa Claus. Current Mood:  good | | Tuesday, December 7th, 2010 | | 2:38 am |
Ever had one of those dreams?
Ok...I'm writing this down as it's the most vivid dream that I've had in a while, so there's going to be a lot of symbology that will be readily available. For some reason I was trying to keep some friends from going into a section of an old stone church because something didn't feel right. They all finally gave into my incessant ramblings and stayed out, but me, like an idiot went right in. Opened the door and looked in on a moving black mass and went "RAR". Literally. Bad move because all the energy I had behind it suddenly was gone, and everything started spilling into reality because I hovered on that moment of lucidity where you're not quite awake and you're not quite asleep.Heart was pounding, fight or flight mentality. It was deathly quiet for seconds, and all I could hear was a murmuring as I looked into this mass. It was varying shades of black, swirling, pooling, flowing and ebbing all around. I could physically feel the chill settling into my bones, which was quite a feat as the heater in the room is still on. That's when the real fight began. Imagine looking into this dark mass, and you're looking into sheer, pure, unadulterated evil. The willingness to kill without remorse, to do harm for the humor of it, to scare and to inflict with the giddiness of insanity. And slowly it dawned on me that I was looking into the reflection of myself that I had locked away and hadn't visited in so long. Heart pounding in my chest I listened to each one of the voices as it ate away at my resolve, and I countered with points. Fear vs Faith. Hate vs Love. Insanity vs Sanity.Chaos vs Order. Darkness vs Light. Life vs Death. To wit, it finally came down to understanding that when it threw life vs death at me, I had it beaten already. There is something after this, as I had seen the physical manifestation of Death at an early age, and he's nothing to fear...he's there to make us ready for the crossing. So the darkness holds no fear for me. We all are afraid of many things, uncertainty, nameless horrors, shambling masses, or just floating black shapes. Uncertainty. As with the onset of consciousness, the details are slowly fading, lest to say that in the end, I had peeled back the layers and was looking at myself, and for and odd reason, I feel oddly calm and at ease. Perhaps we tend to ignore the darker aspect of ourselves because we feel that we don't need it...it makes us smaller than we are. It's a side of ourselves that we don't want anyone to see because we know that it's the hairy, caveman version of ourselves that was meant to be stuck someplace with a sign that says "Break Glass in the event of Danger." Or perhaps we just get so wrapped up in the day to day hectic drudge that we forget about it until we have a breakdown. I'm normally a grim person; it was the way I was brought up. I have my hopes and dreams and wishes for happiness, but lately I've been overwhelmed by too many things. Stupid little things. Hopefully I can nurture the good and pleasant things, and get back to keeping an eye on that hairy little bastard that's my darker nature, and not let it get so out of control next time that it takes over my dreams. The little shit..I just noticed the time... Current Mood: calm |
