Dan's Blog

Now at the blog. 

 Stolen from basswhooper -

Your instructions:

If you are reading this right now, please post a comment with a COMPLETELY MADE UP AND FICTIONAL memory of you and me.

It can be anything you want - good or bad - BUT IT HAS TO BE FAKE.

When you're finished, post this little paragraph on your LJ and be surprised (or mortified) about what people DON'T ACTUALLY remember about you.

Discovered "kinetic typography" videos last night, and found this one today, one of my favorite Kipling poems:

Typography: IF by Rudyard Kipling from George Horne on Vimeo.

Shamelessly stolen from kenshi :

My baloney has a first name. It's BA-R-A-C-K.
My baloney has a second name. It's O-B-A-M-A.
His teleprompter leads our way,
And if you ask me how, I'll say,
"Barack Obama has a way with B-O-L-O-G-N-A."

Copied from the blog:

We’ve kicked into overdrive at work so I’ve been putting in longer hours there than I’m used to by far, and as a result I’m exhausted and uncreative tonight. So, rather than try to come up with something witty, I will quote the new years’ wishes of one of my favorite authors, the estimable Neil Gaiman:

May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness. I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you’re wonderful, and don’t forget to make some art — write or draw or build or sing or live as only you can. And I hope, somewhere in the next year, you surprise yourself.

Happy new year, folks.

Over at the blog. Just assume a new on every day - I'm moving toward a 'less politics' format because, frankly, politics is depressing lately.

Totally forgot to link it from here this morning, but for you who aren't already following the blog elsewhere, I give thee: Culture Wars, Episode IV: A New Hope.

More on libertarianism at large, and why I don't think an overnight libertarian revolution would be A Good Thing. Consider it a followup to yesterday's.

Today we tackle marijuana legalization, wherein I spend 2000 words explaining that I'm still a little wishy washy on the issue. Let me know what you think - I'm hoping to get some good hate mail on this one :P
