  * Now on Google+ (as Steve Savitzky, mdlbear at gmail) via Montemplar
    I'd wanted to use the ssavitzky account, but apparently G+ doesn't
    recognize iceweasel, which is where that one is logged in. :(  This works
    better because it's the account I actually use for YouTube, etc.

    The scene after Little Buttercup's big revelation was _priceless_.
    Many youngsters in the cast.

    The interesting thing is noticing that I'm amused and relaxed.  Happy?

So the Web is now 20 years old, and I have acquired a Google+ account. We'll see how that goes -- I'm finding the circle thing rather annoying at present. And I'm not sure whether I should have used the mdlbear or the ssavitzky account -- it's the former at present; that's also the ID my YouTube account is under. So that may be ok.

We went up to San Francisco with the YD to see the Lamplighters production of H.M.S. Pinafore. Great fun, as usual. They made one casting decision that had me guessing all through the show, but they made it work. There are still some performances left in Mountain View and Walnut Creek -- don't miss it. I'll try to remember to post the spoiler after the run's over. The cast seemed very young, for the most part.

~No, daddy, you're just getting old.~ Thank you, Ame.

We finished the afternoon with dinner at Buck's in Woodside; Colleen and I had the softshell crab tostada, which towered more than six inches high and included a generous helping of Dungeness crab meat as well as the eponymous battered and fried crustacean on the top.

Links, as usual. rowanf points to an article on How To Remove Your Personal Information From Background Check Websites, which looks useful.

I'm trying to add you to my Google+ "circle", but it doesn't seem to think there's anybody named mdlbear. I'm acelightning, or Ace Lightning (it accepted the latter as a "real" name, possibly because that's how I signed up for gmail way back when). If you add me to your circle, I'll get a notification, and then I can add you reciprocally to mine.

Or not, if you prefer, of course.

[mdlbear]

Added. I'm Steve Savitzky there, that being the name I made my gmail account under, way back when.

Okay, thanks - I've added you to mine. Not that I know how to use the damned thing...

Same here -- my account is 2 days old at this point.
