  @ danah boyd | apophenia » Risk Reduction Strategies on Facebook
  % No, it really wasn't a good weekend.  Thanks for asking.
  ! anxious?  Not clear why.  Don't think it has to do with skimming LJ or N
    asking me to sing for her.  Maybe Orycon and nervousness over NGL.  So
    that would be singing, indirectly.
  @ Free one year of Amazon Cloud
  * productive morning at work.  afternoon not so much.
  % 4pm sugar crash.  Ouch.  So one clif bar and one luna bar aren't enough.

    Affordable Care Act over-the-counter medications that are not prescribed
    by a doctor are no longer an eligible expense for Health Care FSA purposes
    as of January 1, 2011."  Somehow I think that act is misnamed.

Oops. Been a while. I've been crashing early most nights, which doesn't help with Getting Things Done.

Since Sunday it's been a time of recovery from the misery of losing a friend, and somewhat frantic preparation for Orycon. I think I'm finally back up to a reasonably positive mood. We went out for Chinese on Sunday; my fortune cookie said: "You will enjoy doing something different this coming weekend". Well, yeah. It's rare for them to be that accurate.

In a little over four hours we'll be taking off for Portland. Saturday will be frantic, but apart from that I'll have lots of time for conversations, which is what I really love about conventions these days.

Lots of links, as you might expect in a four-day catchup post.

misery of Saturday? or do you mean Sunday, with a friend's death?

[mdlbear]

Oops. Thanks -- you're right.
