Bad, Comcast, Bad
So last week a study came out that said that Netflix Instant accounted for 20% of the night time download bandwith in the United States. A few days later it came out that Comcast, a large US internet provider, wants Level 3, Netflix’s partner in content delivery (i.e. the folks who make the streaming happen […]
George Takei I Salute You
This is George Takei’s “It Gets Better” video. I can’t think of anything better on a Monday to hear that awesome Sulu voice calling someone (particularly this guy) a douchebag. Mr. Takei, you rule.
Something Stupid This Way Comes
So I had a very theatrical weekend. On Saturday we drove north to see MacHomer. It was played in an outdoor amphitheatre so we packed a picnic dinner and a blanket and made a nice little event of it. The grounds are lovely: There are nice little trails and picnic spots set up around the […]
Classy Weekend
Summer is the season for Shakespeare and this summer is no exception. I’m stoked about the play we’re going to see this weekend – MacHomer. It’s a guy named Rick Miller, doing Macbeth, as characters from The Simpsons. For serious. I. Am. SO. EXCITED. I’ll report back next week! I’ve also signed up to usher […]

A couple of guys have started a website, with a most excellent domain name – Unicornbooty.com – dedicated to highlighting companies that are gay friendly. Sometimes you can vote with your wallet and these guys are […]
Preach On, Sister!

Incidentally, with the regime of meds I’m currently on, my birth control, which was prescribed to me for medical reasons, is far and […]
News I Can’t Wrap My Brain Around
There have been a couple of things in the news this week that I just can’t understand. 1. The US Supreme Court’s ruling on corporate campaign spending just kind of blows my mind. I mean, really? 2. The California Proposition 8 Supreme Court hearing is going on – that’s the one to review the legality […]
And Just to Be Clear
I’m NOT pregnant. But according to the jackassery of Arizona all us ladies are abortion wanting baby makers who must be stopped (I’m overstating only slightly here) so if you live in Arizona, pay attention, speak up, and vote. I’m getting real tired of middle aged white guys wanting to decide things about my baby […]
