( raw notes )

A party, but not a very big one. I guess a lot of the usual suspects were out of town. Some unexpected guests, though; I'm not complaining. Much.

I had several good conversations (mostly me listening, but ok) and managed a little time out in the living room. A few minutes of random noodling, but no singing. That's ok, too.

I got ice across San Carlos at Cash & Carry -- next time it might be simpler just to walk there with a hand-truck and $10, though I did get a much better parking spot when I came back.

Today's links include an article on how to get your profile off of Spokeo, a site that mines public databases for personal information. Interestingly, Spokeo's privacy page links to another site, reputationdefender.com, that offers to keep you from being listed on Spokeo and similar sites -- for a price. What a racket!

The year is starting out badly for some people, including my daughter Chaos, who lost five of her friends in a fire. If you smoke, please stop. And 2011, you had better start treating my friends and family better.
