    So I just finished making my grandma a pink fuzzy scarf, and am pleased with how it turned out. The funny/sad story is that I had made her one of these last fall, and she wore it a bunch, but apparently (and I didn't notice because I live in another state) she lost it at some point, possibly at church, and it never got turned in to the lost and found. She told this to my mother a few weeks later, IN TEARS, because she lost something her grand-daughter had made by hand and I was never, ever to be told. I just found out about this from my mom and knitted a scarf in 3 days so that it should hopefully get there by my grandma's birthday on Wednesday. "Happy July birthday! Here's a woolly scarf."

    Making stuff for folks is nice.

    Update: The Mom has a gastrointestinal virus. It took 3 IV bags to rehydrate her, but they think they can release her today.

    And I bought her the goddamn iPhone. I feel dirty. Like some kind of drug facilitator or something.

    As far as I can tell, yes. I'm still worried. She was severly dehydrated, and that puts a lot of stress on the body.

    I think ordering her iPhone cured her. It is truly indeed the Jesus Phone.

    Oh no my friend, that's just the phone. And it's not even the good one, this one is a lousy 4 gig one. The most basic plan is around $60 I do think.

    In so far as I can tell, yes. I'd love to get one for myself, except I can't take camera phones in to where I work. It's a bummer.

    Seriously? That's a huge no-no where I work. Classified is still classified amigo, Secret or Top Secret, it's just as bad. I suggest you don't get caught by security with it there. I don't know of any place that condone's the posssion of one, especially in senstive areas like that. I'm not sure what your cognizant agency is (DoD, DSS), but whatch your cornhole.

    It's MDA, which I guess it under Air Force with some Army buy-in. It was pretty surprising to me as well, since I worked in DC just prior and they were hyper-sensitive about security - even disallowing any form of windows in skifs because of the looming threat of the Russian Embassy bouncing lasers off the windows and demodulating speech from that.

    It kind of went in this order from when I started working there:

    1) I sat in an open office area. Phones without cameras were allowed in the building but not in the closed areas.
    2) Moved me to a closed office area with both closed and open computers. Cell phones allowed in but had to be powered off and cameraless.
    3) Cell phones had to be cameraless but could be used.
    4) Cell phones with cameras allowed to be used.

    Honestly it's kind of odd.

    Denigration afflicted our vaunted ideals long ago, but such inflictions are difficult to measure, to rise up and point a finger to this place, this moment, and say: here, my friends, this was where our honour, our integrity died.

    The affliction was too insipid, too much a product of our surrendering mindful regard and diligence. The meanings of words lost their precision - and no-one bothered taking to task those who cynically abused those words to serve their own ambitions, their own evasion of personal responsibility. Lies went unchallenged, lawful pursuit became a sham, vulnerable to graft, and justice itself became a commodity, mutable in imbalance. Truth was lost, a chimera reshaped to match agenda, prejudices, thus consigning the entire political process to a mummer's charade of false indignation, hypocritical posturing and a pervasive contempt for the commonry.

    Once subsumed, ideals and the honour created by their avowal can never be regained, except, alas, by outright, unconstrained rejection, invariable instigated by the commonry, at the juncture of one particular moment, one single event, of such brazen injustice that revolution becomes the only reasonable response.

    Consider this then a warning. Liars will lie, and continue to do so, even beyond being caught out. They will lie, and in time, such liars will convince themselves, will in all self-righteousness divest the liars of culpability. Until comes a time when one final lie is voiced, the one that can only be answered by rage, by cold murder, and on that day, blood shall rain down every wall of this vaunted, weaning society.

    I work for a Defense company, and enforce our no camera cellphone policy. I can say without a doubt, we'd string anyone up who brought a camera phone into a classified area. If you're working for a civillian company, you'd fall under Defense Security Services, and they'll crucify anyone if they caught them with a camera in a classified area.

    But when I was with the Navy, prior to that, no one really cared. The disparity was very odd. If you fall under DoD, you're probably okay out of sheer apathy.

    Funny thing, no one watches me. I see all, I know all.

    I'm like that guy in that movie Sliver, who watches people do it in their apartments.

    Only Sharon Stone doesn't work for us, and uh, they're aren't any apartments, and I don't get to watch people do it at work.

    So yeah, It's not really like Sliver. I think I just killed the romance.

    Nothing beats the part in wind waker where
    You get to Hyrule for the first time and shades of the theme are playing in the background. Actually the ending to wind waker was probably the best in the series as well. Overall I think that game had the best presentation out of all of them. Now if only its dungeons were as up to snuff...

    I have no idea. They each have their awesome and their annoying foibles.

    See, I thought Wind Waker kicked TP's ass in terms of story. TP's was a bit of a mess--a bunch of introduced elements that sort of dropped off or weren't developed at all.
