Yesterday, there was a peace rally in Pittsburgh. Debb and I went, and we saw .. well, a lot of really liberal people. Rallies arn't exactly my thing -- they did have the traditional chanting, which smacks a bit too much of groupthought for me. It was, however, interesting, and I took some photos... that I'd show in this entry, but I think I left both of my CD-readers (that I need to transfer data from my camera) at work. It's funny, reflecting on it, how much easier it is to transfer data from digital camera to computer since I decided not to bother with directly attaching the camera -- the media-readers are so much more convenient, and are more reliable.
Oh, you might be amused by the title and/or content of this: Zombies push Jesus from Top of North American Box Office Actually, thinking about it, I guess Jesus, in Christian mythology, kind of qualifies as a Zombie. It would be an amusing twist of the stories to have the Jesus story, in a movie, portrayed as usual up until the crucifiction, and then after the boulder is rolled back, a grey Zombie-Jesus would come out and say "Braaaaains!" and proceed to go around killing people.
This weekend, I learned that the American legal system is not as 'philosophically clean' as Political Theory, that it might not even value the concept, and that what are reasonable assumptions in Political Theory don't really apply in it. I also got a pair of climbing shoes (Expensive!), a climbing harness (not too expensive, and the most important purchase), and 2 carabeaners. I unfortunately forgot to get an ATC while at the shop. Oh well.
Today, we saw Osama, a really fascinating film.
Finally, the news in brief: Not to be outdone by the Episcopal Church, the Methodists have their own gay controversy.
Do you really want to buy wireless service from people who don't know 802.11g from 802.11a?
There's nothing like some friendly (legal) rivalry.
And, of course, there appears to be some interesting vigilantes on the other side (than I am) of the Intellectual Property debate.
