Enemy of Entropy
How do you decide where to live?
Over the last two years, Sam and I have talked about moving elsewhere. Georgia has almost no consumer protections for citizens, has a crappy support structure for humans in just about every way you can imagine, and has law enforcement who don’t care to enforce laws unless you’ve got enough money to get their attention. Essentially, we want to live in a blue state, which means leaving the Bible belt. Cooler weather would be nice, too. Less humid heat, at least, would be a relief.
We haven’t really made plans, not wanting to uproot Katie while she was in school and so on. There’s a lot of inertia, too, since I’ve been here all my life (except for the few years in Alabama before my parents moved us to Atlanta). Sam was born here, and wasn’t thrilled with New York or New Jersey when he lived there. Our families are here, which means something, even if we don’t see them that often.

MomoCon?
Anybody going to MomoCon here in Atlanta? I’d never heard of it before today. It’s free, and may be in its second year (I’m not sure). It seems quite small, which could be nice. It’s local, which is a big plus for us. I’m unclear as to whether there’s any gaming happening or not, and there’s no mention of filking that I can see.

- 13:20 People who have tagged stuff “a cappella” on LastFM seem to lack understanding that it means NO INSTRUMENTS. Just VOICES #
- 13:21 @teemonster Is there an antidote? #
- 13:26 @randellfever Is it an older one? Haven’t tried my ancient one, not on Seesmic yet. #

- 14:00 @bucketjen If you do the form, they farm out data entry to firms who sell your address. Is a data point. #
- 14:00 @bucketjen Post Office isn’t so forthcoming about that. #
- 14:01 @foulbastard Somehow, that’s even worse. #

- 23:44 @chelpixie What song is in your Twitter background? Can’t see enough to identify it. #
- 23:44 @hobbinator Darn. Anybody near me is probably in bed — it’s 11:44pm — anyway. #

- 13:52 @minitotoro Let’s just say our electric bill makes me a global warming believer #
- 13:54 Wouldn’t do any good to do that shoveling in the Bible Belt, @abiteofsanity. Nothing is open! #
- 13:55 @abiteofsanity We really are considering moving away from the blue laws and other nonsense #
- 14:02 @foulbastard Do they include bouncing around in little clothing to “distract” attackers? #
- 14:06 Hello @mariana_66, @AndrewBadera, @JimWalton and a bunch of other people #
- 14:12 @chumworth If they go after our humor infrastructure, we’re doomed. #
- 14:12 @JimWalton just read your post re “experts” — good stuff. #

- 14:36 @andrewbadera Having been married to a youth minister, I know there isn’t much math involved in theology undergrad studies. #

- 16:02 @mariana_66 We got the minidisc recorder/reader via Freecycle #
- 16:16 @queenofspain Ewww! Never had one fight about that! Keeping ANY pants on, yes. #
- 16:21 @queenofspain: @sambearpoet’s youngest went through a period of referring to herself as “the baby” constantly. Hopefully, it won’t last … #
- 16:39 @jimwalton Is all of you ok? #
- 16:40 @jimwalton No secure footing for ladder on ice/snow, methinks. Call power company? #
- 16:53 @jimwalton I see. Could you steady ladder while someone else climbed to try? #
- 16:54 @jimwalton You were very lucky! #
- 16:56 @jimwalton I guess that’s why they say a hurt thing “smarts” #
- 17:21 Logging off for a while. Need to get some fluids into the girl. #

- 20:00 I’m too weird to see that happen often. #
- 20:01 @chumworth Crossing the strike line, I see #
- 20:02 @acomputerpro Do you normally disrobe at the dentist’s office? #
