I'll be speaking at the "This Way to Sustainability Conference" in Chico California. My presentation is Saturday, November 8th at 11:00 A.M. [link] on technical solutions to global warming.

My profile addy is good, though it looks like the nearest Buffista lives more than 90 miles away.
I have 3 Nightmare Before Christmas promo iPod skins that I got at the Halloween showing of NBC in 3-D. It is pictured in this auction [link] (note: this is not my auction and I don't think these work for an iPod touch). First 3 who email me can have them - I'll ship for free. Happy Halloween!
UPDATE: All gone.
In case of voting problems:
The Election Protection coalition has put together a free hotline and a web site dedicated to tracking voting irregularities.
1-866-OUR-VOTE
If you run into something call for advice and also to get stuff documented.
Mom update: She had heart rate problems yesterday, but these seem to have resolved, and she's getting more energetic and ornery, albeit still with her eyes closed most of the time. Thank you, everyone!
Through this all, she managed to vote, so if you haven't already, and are USian, go vote!
LAistas: There is a big No on 8 rally today in front of the Mormon Temple on Santa Monica in Westwood. I'm going to try to be there.
Stand Against Discrimination and Bigotry. Protest at the Mormon Temple!

My mom is continuing to improve. She's tired and weak and cranky and her sense of time is a bit wonky, but she's talking more and has been sitting up and even out of bed with help. Thank you so much for all of the ~ma and support. You guys rock like a thing that rocks.
LAistas: More protests this weekend opposing Prop 8.

St. John’s Episcopal Church
514 West Adams Boulevard (at Figueroa just off the 110 Harbor Freeway)
St. John's was one of the most supportive in the fight to defeat Prop 8. Their massive No on 8 sign was vandalized and slashed. Rally in support of the church!
Still trying to fit into Dani's big hat, for the Secret Santa Exchange:
Anyone interested in exchanging small presents with other Buffistas during the holiday season, email me at my profile address with your Buffista name and a snail-mail location to which people can send your loot. I will match up givers & giftees in a highly rigorous, random process - i.e. drawing names out of a hat.
Please try to email me by November 23. I'll match names and send out notices by November 24, to allow for lots of present buying/making and mailing time.
Your truly, Tiny Jewish not-Santa
[Edit: because my mail address decided to play sort-of Secret-Santa with the board, or at least the Secret part, I'll just post it here for the time being: nilly_madar at yahoo dot com. Sorry for the mess, if you tried to reach me and couldn't find the address!]
