Pro-IP Act

MPAA chairman Dan Glickman applauded the House for passing the bill and expresses hope that it will move just as quickly through the Senate. “We applaud the members of the House of Representatives for passing the PRO-IP Act, H.R. 4279. It is a comprehensive, bipartisan measure that will strengthen our nation’s economy and generate more jobs for American workers by bolstering protections for intellectual property,”

I don’t agree that locking things down is good for the economy.

Reverse Scavenger Hunt

On Saturday, I will go to Boston all day. During the day, my goal will be to go around and complete objectives that might normally be part of a scavenger hunt. I will not, however, be on a scavenger hunt.

I will be on what I am dubbing a “Reverse Scavenger Hunt”. I will pretend I am on a normal scavenger hunt and ask people to do things that will make for a series of sweet photos.

My objective is twofold:
1. Get an opportunity to talk to a lot of random people 2. Get pictures of a lot of random people doing ridiculously amusing tasks that I come up with

I am taking suggestions for potential tasks. What is something [in Boston] you’d like to see a picture of?

But it feels like such a lie.

Aliasing

I started using Digsby to try it out and I aliased all my buddies. Having a buddy list full of real names is really weird. I think this is partially because I really need to get a lot of sleep, but it is confusing heck out of me.
