Virtual cocktail party tonight?
I'd be up for it, Lee.
Sometimes when I'm sitting in class... You know, I'm not thinking about class, 'cause that would never happen. I think about kissing you. And it's like everything stops. It's like, it's like freeze frame. Willow kissage.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I've moved on to boredom eating to go with my Prosecco, and the baked flour tortillas are fantastic crackers! I'd do that again for sure.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I'd be up for it, Lee.
I can be home with wine or a cocktail in hand at 6:30 or 7:00 board time.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
So apparently the answer to "that's weird, when did my grandmother get an iPhone?" is that I have the wrong number in my phone for her cell. So whoever's been getting my messages in Cincinnati, sorry!

Heh.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
I kind of love the idea of a board cocktail party. The end of this week definitely calls for a ridiculous drink or two.
Also, I watched the very first ST:TNG episode last night, and I would really like to go home and just watch the next three or four right now, thank you.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
How likely are people to print it, and how much do you need to enable that? I.e., is the intent for them to be viewed on screen?
I don't think there's sufficient upside to cover it being impenetrable for the colour blind member of the audience. I think his presence encourages positive usability choices. Hell, he runs the web team. You know our eight corporate websites are nice and legible.
But this is also a corporate culture where people demand the slide deck before the meeting and print themselves a copy to leaf through during it. And these slides will likely be appendix, so maybe not viewed onscreen until someone works out they can't tell what they're saying on paper.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
That Miami Times article--wow. It eerily recalls the behavior of the Manticore kids in Dark Angel, down to the gentle, benificent spirit they called the Blue Lady, and some of the other details. Makes me wonder where the writers got that stuff. And of course, the article itself provokes big sympathy, and kind of an anthropological desire to know more.

Totally legit.

Yeah, that I see as not your problem. But that's easy to say from a distance.

Ugh. One of my FB freinds is suddenly out of nowhere pulling an Uncle Fucknut--posting links about how the government conspired to take away our civil liberties and there were navy seals with backpacks at the marathon, and the Chechen dudes are just patsies, and I'm like DUUUUUDE.
