i submitted a story on jessamyn's technically legal signs for libraries. i really enjoyed her twist on it being illegal to tell patrons when the FBI snoops into patron records (the signs only tell you they haven't been there). bully for jessamyn and all librarians (in any profession) for helping resist the Patriot Act.

off to see the two towers this afternoon with my geek friends. and yes, the good news is that i have cable modem in the new place: what it would take to get me to downgrade is beyond my imagining.

i have a second post, and it got a 5 for insightful.
this almost makes up for the rejection of my story on naked quidditch.

okay. where do i find the "make someone a friend" link? update: i copied the link from someone's comment: http://slashdot.org/zoo.pl?op=check&type=friend&uid=628741 and put in the correct user id. i found the correct user id by going to the frend's journals link under my journal and searching for the nickname of a friend. so, while it's sort of cheating and is a bit roundabout, it works.
