Petition: Stop the RIAA from suing thousands of fans!

While I have yet to make a real posting, but I did want to take a moment to ask people to visit the Electronic Frontier Foundation’s petition to stop the frivolous lawsuits the RIAA has unleashed. A few posts back I talked about how they’re targeting a young family of five, single moms, college students and 12-year-old girls. This petition, which will be delivered to the House and Senate Judiciary committees, is intended to persuade law-makers to pass legislation to prevent these lawsuits. So if you are a registered voter and have a minute, please visit their site and sign the petition. The EFF’s almost has 80,000 of the 100,000 signatures it’s seeking for a petition on the recording industry’s insane campaign of suing thousands of music fans. 20,000 more to go!

Talk about lateness…

Yeah, so I’ve been horrible about getting on here and blogging.  With a lot of NCSC activities going on, my free time has been pretty limited.  I was hoping that I would have some free time when I traveled to Albuquerque, but not only did that not happen, but I’ve been connecting all week on a dial-up connection.  Ugh…  Not much time on-line… 

I’m anxious to get back and share some stories, thoughts and pictures about my trip, as well as some other happenings.  Keep checking here, more to come soon…

12 on the 12th – Inaugural / April 2006

This is the first installment of a monthly tradition called "12 on the 12th".  The idea was given to me from the Daily Breakfast podcast, where it was suggested that on the 12th of each month everyone takes a camera with them and takes twelve pictures throughout their day – a photographic "A day in the life of…".  Today was pretty busy and boring – work, car repairs & errands, but as you can see from my pictures, my day was filled with beauty.

This is the view when I walked outside this morning on my apartment – Spring is here!

My cube at work…

It was so beautiful today! I took a walk around the campus after work.

Today was a day of car repairs – after car repair #1…

Car repair #2 – I had to get two tires replaced

Running errands in downtown Fort Collins – this is the view inside Colorado Drum. I got some new sticks and a ticket to the Horacio "El Negro" Hernandez drum clinic

I then went inside Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory to get some Easter gifts…

I needed to get a close-up of these. These are giant Easter Eggs made out of chocolate. They’re hollow, filled with all sorts of candies inside!

Believe it or not, this is my apartment complex. This is the view to the left of the mailboxes.

After dinner I spent some time practicing drums, going over the music we’re goign to play at Holy Thursday Mass. The real drum set is packed up down stairs.

At my home office, getting in some web surfting before I get back to work.

So those are my 12 on the 12th!  I had a lot of fun doing this posting, I hope you enjoyeed my pictures! Those who have blogs/Flickr accounts, I would invite you to take part in this!  I look forward to May 12th!

When nerds attack…

Check out this story about pranks that students at Cal-Tech and MIT pulled on each other. I read this story and laugh because my sister is going to MIT. I know they’re forming a bit of a rivalry, but you probably don’t want to form one with the school on the opposite coast. Any time you need to board a plane in order to committ your prank, you’ve traveled too far.
