Since my family never twitters any more, I'm posting this helpful and instructional video:

I grabbed one of the free promotional keys for Zone Alarm Pro 11 yesterday -- it's good for a year and normally costs a wee $20. (It doesn't include an anti-virus function.)

I won't use it; there is more than enough good freeware nowadays. But if you think you might want it, let me know and I'll email it to you. First come first serve, as it were.

I've long thought that the depiction of aliens in "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" was a little narrow. Never mind that the premise of little anthropomorphic aliens riding their neon-light, pimped-out interstellar steamboat across the galaxy requires a healthy suspension of disbelief. I imagine that a technologically advanced civilization be emotionally advanced or interesting as well. That is to say, I maybe envision a really smart James Brown getting off the mothership. . .

In a similar vein, I think it's important that our future overlords be able to dance. I'm glad that the "Keepon" is having a nice go at it.

I've had this video bookmarked for awhile. Reading and thinking about same-sex marriages in CA reminded me of this video and what the country did to President Clinton during the Lewinsky scandal.

Sometimes I think we're just nowhere.
