“Porn, Piracy, & BitTorrent”
An August 10 feature story in the Seattle Weekly –“Porn, Piracy, & BitTorrent“–takes a deeper than ‘it’s wrong’ look at illegal file-sharing technology. What I found fascinating was the information on how copyright holders are using mass lawsuits to indict and fine people using such technology, a tactic that I (and other right-thinking people) see as extortion.
I promise . . .
. . . I won’t keep posting videos instead of writing.
But for now:
another one to play loud.

Finished Winds of Fate (#3 in the series I’ve been reading by Mercedes Lackey). It’s an old favorite, and much enjoyed. Went on to the next (in the timeline), Storm Rising, finished that one as well
Also completed:
Handfasting and Wedding Rituals: Welcoming Hera’s Blessing By Kaldera, Raven — I didn’t get a LOT of use out of this, but there is one ceremony I liked enough that I’ll be using it as an inspiration (pending J’s approval, of course) for our ceremony.
The Instinct Diet: Use your Five Food Instincts to Lose Weight and Keep It off By Roberts, Susan B. — meh. I didn’t appeal to me, or make sense. It wasn’t crazy (like the genetics diet thing that is out there) but . . . not for me.
Core Performance Women: Burn Fat and Build Lean Muscle By Verstegen, Mark — fascinating, and, I think, going to be useful. I may even buy it for my own reference.
The ring!
I’ve got a pic of the ring, finally.

#30daysofreading (June 3+4)
got a little behind on this . . .
Still reading Winds of Change. Finished Bridal Bargains (you’re going to see a lot in this theme) and The Abs Diet for Women (also a lot in this genre, I’m researching).
#30daysofreading (June 2)
Finished Winds of Fate, moving on to Winds of Fury (#2 in the series). Also read “Handfasting & Wedding Rituals: Inviting Hera’s Blessing.” Good book, will likely be a bonus review at Facing North.

I’m not on Twitter, but this looks like its right in my wheelhouse.
Today, I read By the Sword, Mercedes Lackey. I’m about 50% through Knife of Dreams, Robert Jordan. I started Winds of Fate (Mercedes Lackey).
A Birthday Weekend in SF
This last weekend I flew down to San Francisco to surprise my mom for her birthday. It was a huge success.
She came in to the door and my nephew met her with flowers. Then he peremptorily said ‘close your eyes, it’s a secret!’ She, being a good grandma, did, and he led her into the living room, where I waited. (She did bounce off the walls a bit, he wasn’t very good at leading her, I must say.) When she opened her eyes — the look on her face was priceless.
Big hugs, lots of happiness.
