Two things are dominating my attention these days. Well, three if you count the impending school semester. Scholarly Communications and Controlled Vocabularies. Yummy!

• DirecTiVo (Hughes HDVR2) This brain-sucking, time-wasting pile of plastic and metal is our current obsession. No more missed shows. Pause live TV. Find shows and movies you didn't even knw about. All that stuff everybody already knows. Integrated with two DirecTV tuners (for simultaneous taping of two shows [possibly even at the same time as watching a previously recorded one!] or recording one and watching another, etc.). This thing rocks!
  
• The protest in SF this weekend. Headed out on the plane this evening. Won't be in SF long, but long enough to fight the good fight and see a couple of friends.
  

Busy but fulfilled. Too busy to write in complete sentences, even! More soon, I hope.
