Passionate about (X)HTML, CSS, PHP and MySQL. I am a wannabe evangelist for these technologies. I also love spending time with my family and listening to music.
This is a very strange feeling. Thinking back, I know I've seen a lot of social networks/forums shuttered during my time on the Internet, but I can't remember a single other time that one has been pulled out from under me while I'm still active on it.
I will miss all of you terribly, and, while I know that other networks (such as frenf.it) will never be able to fully reproduce what we've had here, I do hope that we'll at least be able to keep a small piece of our community going outside of FF.

Seriously, all of you people involved in libraries, museums, higher ed and web design/development should check out this conference. It's one of my favorites.

Yup. Just finished doing the state & federal amendments for the ex, as she received a W-2 in March from a job that she left in December 2013 (they must have paid her once in Jan 2014). Thankfully, I amended mine last year, so I had a little bit of a reference to make sure I was doing things correctly. It was a pain, but not nearly as painful as trying to figure out how to do it through TurboTax.

It's interesting. As I think about all of the kids that will gorge themselves on candy today, I'm grateful that my daughter seems to have had a good grasp on moderation for most of her life. If I hadn't thrown it away, we'd still have Halloween candy lying around the house.
She'll get a lot of candy today during her Easter Egg hunt, but won't eat but a small fraction of it.

I can't help but feel that part of this is the fact that I don't keep her from these kinds of things on a regular basis. We usually have candy around the house, but we rarely eat more than a small serving of it. She has her own tablet, but she spends so little time glued to it that, more often than not, she doesn't even know where it is. I can't help but feel that the parents that are constantly trying to keep their kids away from the "evils" of society are actually imbuing in their children a sense that they have to overdo it whenever they have the opportunity.

RT @lex_looper: The holocaust was legal, slavery was legal, segregation was legal. If you use the state as a metric for ethics you'll end up disappointed.
Twilight Zone is supernatural (?). Grease is a musical (makes as much sense as having Phantom of the Opera and Rent on the list). Prince of Egypt takes place in Egypt. (I don't know about Heroes.) And Leverage is about followers (?).

Well, Phantom of the Opera is Andrew Lloyd Weber (Jesus Christ Superstar is also Andrew Lloyd Weber), so it makes sense. Rent makes a little less sense (probably on the level with Grease). Leverage, Twilight Zone and Heroes are what really threw me for a loop, though.

I was a bit surprised, since it went the other direction in that other case. They've implemented subtitles (finally) and other large providers have as well, but it could be so much better than it is. Of course, given how some television providers have "complied," it could also be far worse.

Yeah, I use captions all of the time (picked up the habit when I was in college), and it frustrates me to no end when the captions are screwy or don't work (it's almost worse when they're screwy than it is when they're non-existent). I can't imagine how frustrating it must be for those that don't have the option of simply turning the volume up. I'm glad the case isn't intended to set a precedent, but it's still quite a blow for accessibility.

Was halfway through season 3 of Batman: The Brave & The Bold (was just watching it 2 or 3 nights ago), and now it seems to have disappeared from Netflix. :(
