Lady take it elsewhere!
LiveJournal wants women to breastfeed their babies in the bathroom.
Six Apart, creators of Movable Type and, more recently, owners of LiveJournal, have decided to harrass LiveJournal users whose default icons depict breastfeeding.
LiveJournal is even protected by law!
Lawmakers are beginning to understand …; California, where Six Apart is located, has express legal provision exempting breastfeeding from obscenity legislation.
The AAP recommends "Exclusive breastfeeding for approximately the first six months and support for breastfeeding for the first year and beyond as long as mutually desired by mother and child."
Net Neutrality Discussion – Tomorrow 7pm?
Anyone in Knoxville want to have an impromptu Net Neutrality brown bag type discussion? Borders in Turkey Creek is having its grand opening. How about we meet in the coffee shop at 7:00pm. We can chat for 45 minutes (give or take) then watch Todd Steed.

Knoxville – Turkey Creek
The bands following is growing throughout the southeast. Their new CD is garnering super reviews for this rock n’ roll crew.
If the coffee shop is where all the activity is happening we can just meet there and take the discussion to another part of the store or the fountain outside.
Secure today – gone tomorrow
High tech thieves are targeting keyless entry cars. Becoming more prominent is the option to enter your car and start it without a key. We rely on the quality of the software and the strength of encryption. But what happens as your car ages and over time strong encyption becomes weak encryption? I can see a day where a thief simply walks past older cars in a mall parking lot to have doors pop open or engines start. Or perhaps I sit down in the drivers seat to see a message on the dash "Important security update available! Download now?" I’ll ponder my watch knowing I’m already late but a security update means a vunerability in my security system has been found and the thieves know it. BUT! If I update and restart my car, it might not work. I am powerless but to turn on my best Shatner, clench my fists, look to the ceiling, and as the camera pans out scream "Gaaaaattees!" (hear Shatner)

Great Hoover’s Ghost!
Appalachia Alumni Association has an interesting post on your Internet activity and the government.
Seeking HVAC recommendations
I went into a Firestone not long ago and they had fans blowing all over the place. I inquired, "flood?" to which the salesperson responded, "Nope. 3rd time this year that the a/c has gone out. No one in Knoxville knows how to repair an air conditioner."
I concur with Mr. Firestone. Our a/c is out again. 9 years ago a low bidder sloppily installed the unit. It’s probably underpowered to begin with and I’m sure its reaching the end of its days. Has anyone had any good experiences with HVAC repair? I need referrals!
You did what?!
You know. I’m pretty undisturbable. But every now and then something on the Internet leaves me without words.
The wife recently had her hymen replaced as an anniversary gift for her husband.

Growing Up
The little boy next door just came over, knocked, and politely asked, "Could Amy come over and swim in my pool?" to which Amy grabbed her swim suit and went on her merry four year old way. This is the same boy that seems like only yesterday was standing naked in my driveway and would periodically just let himself in the house to play with toys.
Amy is growing so fast!
Civil War Re-enactment is just so passe
Levels of HTML Knowledge
This serious rating of HTML coders complements my earlier joke post regarding the evolution of programmers by explaining 7 levels of HTML understanding from HTML Level 0 to HTML Level 6. I’d put myself at HTML Level 4 moving into 5.
It isn’t necessary for everybody to reach HTML Level 6. I consider myself a Level 5 person, and I’m quite happy reading the specs instead of writing them so I don’t really feel like I need to reach Level 6. People whose task is to keep a website’s content up-to-date can even get by at Level 1, provided that their CMS is good enough. It all depends on your needs.
Levels of HTML Knowledge was inspired by Levels of CSS knowledge. I am Level 5.

I went upstairs and couldn’t believe my eyes. Mixed in with the toys scattered across the living room floor was a, um, er, a marital aid
Coming close to a recreation of a scene from Parenthood
Asking, "What would Alan Shore do?" I reacted calmly, slipping the tool into my pocket, making eye contact with the wife, and calling Sarah to babysit for 3 minutes.
Now honey, your neck massager needs to be put somewhere different. And feel free to read all kinds of double entendre into that.
Dual Role? Lost characters.
Did Matthew Fox also play one of the listening post characters? Here are Lost’s full credits for part 2 of the season 2 finale.
Since Matthew Fox is appearing in Rambo IV (with Stallone directing and starring) in 2007, can we assume Jack is dead?!
Plot Outline: Vietnam vet John Rambo is forced to emerge from his reclusive lifestyle and take justice into his own hands after a girl goes missing.
Of note, Sly is also starring in Rocky Balboa which releases this year.
Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone) has now been retired for some time, but hard-up for money, he decides to step back into the ring against a few small-time boxers.
Sounds like maybe Planet Hollywood isn’t doing so hot. Or perhaps Rocky Balboa is art immitating life?
