Lots of things going on in prep for the blackout:
– List of sites goin black: here
– Another .. more full list: http://sopastrike.com/
– GREAT song:
– Lots of wordpress plugins ..
seems like this thing is gonna happen. Good to see peeps getting involved!
So reading all over that SOPA is Dead(tm) .. however .. it’s not really dead till withdrawn. So I have concerns that it’s a red herring. Especially since we’ve seen congress backdoor legislation ( NDAA anyone ) when they couldn’t do it publicly. I am still going thru with the blackout as I believe that awareness needs to be raised. Hopefully people will see and react.
I did see an interview/debate on UP between Reddits Alexis and the VP and Gen Counsel of NBC. It wasn’t bad… I feel like Alexis got caught on the whole idea of ‘finding a legit way to access content’ .. but the VP was a total ass: interrupting the interview several times and spouting talking points instead of answering questions and debating on the substance of the issue. You can see it here .
We’ve had lots of requests for pictures from the wedding. Vikki has been working diligently to make em look pretty.. so with out further ado …

Had a fantastic wedding against a glass pane full of snow. Had lots of good family and a great time. I’ll post pics as soon as we get them up. Thanks to the 28 peeps that ustreamed the event and watched us get married. Now just to get home .. snowing it’s butt off.
I wanted to invite everyone to join Vikki and I virtually! for our wedding. We’re getting married Jan 1, 2012 in Traverse City, Michigan; at the Park Place Hotel at Noon EST. Our venue is small, but in the tradition of being a geek, I will be recording the event and streaming it live so we can fit everyone that wants to celebrate with us.
So ..after doing some testing .. we’ll be using ustream to accomplish this virtual wedding. Please goto:
