Save the Internet

What’s the big deal about SOPA and PIPA? The Oatmeal breaks it down nicely. (It’s not pretty and there are some “racy” graphics.)

SOPA and PIPA are about censorship, not piracy: Google explains how you can take action.

From one holiday to the next

December 19th, 2011

Much has happened since my previous tofurkey posting, most notably is starting a new job. Since I haven’t had much time to write about it, enjoy this holiday video made by my new employer, Chronicle Book.

(If you’re so inclined, feel free to buy books off the site… that’s what I’m charged with improving—our on-site sales. We’re a small independent San Francisco publisher, as opposed to, say, an internet monolith like Amazon.)

Happy Tofurkey Day

November 24th, 2011

From me and mine to you and yours. May you be surrounded by warmth, friends, family & that which you love.

Occupy Yoke-land

November 16th, 2011

Sleeves. I have lopapeysa sleeves. Heading into the fun part… the yoke.

Speaking of the “Occupy” movement, the following video reminds me that that all police are not bad.

Just a little something to enjoy.

Passing through

November 3rd, 2011

I was up at 5am to catch a flight that eventually brought me to Portland. Well, two flights. I’m flying here and back in 4 segments in order to get premier status on United.

Not much to share. Slogging through preparation for this weekend’s Knot Hysteria color retreat. Spent the night reliving Iceland by watching Heima and polishing off a second ball of blue-grey for my first lopapeysa. Made me forget my horrible fast food dinner.

All’s good now. No complaints here. Another early start tomorrow.

tonight’s dinner special

November 2nd, 2011

A fun-filled day of sharing the flavor of my life in San Francisco with Clara. As we considered where to eat dinner, we found a blog post review of Walzwerk that included this little video.

Who’s that at 2:06?
