Entries by tag: links. The Third Way: Beyond Fun and Authenticity. March 6th, 15:30. I just came across this marvelous essay on the SCA fun/authenticity false dichotomy, and a different way of looking at it. It was written some years ago, but is still worthwhile reading for any SCAdian. (It's from Tibicen, who some of you might remember from days of yore.). Fun of the SCA - what makes this club particularly fun - is the atmosphere. Where there are currently. March 5th, 17:53. This was originally posted v...

Buttery Birthday, etc.: madamebuttery

Buttery Birthday, etc. So we survived our 31st Birthday party. Remarkable. I never imagined that living in a particular house would change my life so much. Put on a repeat of Henry V, which was delightful until the fields of Agincourt became too muddied and everyone fled inside. I got to watch the rehearsal in the morning and see some of the show in the afternoon.my favorite Shakespearean play, after all. It was a tremendously exciting experience for me. Post a new comment. We will log you in after post.

Home or Away? Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Finals - Terrence Chan
http://terrencechan.livejournal.com/365511.html
Follow me as I play poker and look for new ways to get punched in the face. Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Finals. June 13th, 2011. About 18 hours from now, it is possible that this intersection - like almost every intersection in downtown Vancouver - will be a veritable orgy of celebration. The Canucks are one win away from the first ever Stanley Cup win in their 41-year history and better than 3:1 favourites to win the series at this stage. To Boston, or not to Boston? 2011-06-13 11:43 am (UTC). Your assing...

Still a vegetable - Jane Waks. Oct 12th, 2010 02:04 pm Still a vegetable. Actually, I don't need help, I just use my LJ to vent. October 12th, 2010 06:06 pm (UTC). What sort of vegetable? Inquiring minds and all that :D. October 12th, 2010 06:16 pm (UTC). Potato, I think. Maybe mushroom. October 12th, 2010 06:39 pm (UTC). I feel like a mushroom sometimes. Kept in the dark and fed poo.

Video advice - Richard Gilbert
http://rickthefightguy.livejournal.com/44817.html
Video advice - Richard Gilbert. July 1st, 2010. We have an old demo reel that we would like to rescue part of. The whole tape is 12 minutes long, and the part we want is probably only about 3 minutes. I have a damaged VHS of it, and a (presumably) better condition master on Umatic SP. What I want is to be able to upload parts of it to our website or you-tube. What format do I want to convert it to? What medium do I want that stored on? My guess: thumb drive? Anyone know any of these things? I did some go...

Anonymity and the Netflix Dataset - Schneier on Security
https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2007/12/anonymity_and_t_2.html
Anonymity and the Netflix Dataset. Last year, Netflix published 10 million movie rankings by 500,000 customers, as part of a challenge for people to come up with better recommendation systems than the one the company was using. The data was anonymized by removing personal details and replacing names with random numbers, to protect the privacy of the recommenders. Arvind Narayanan and Vitaly Shmatikov, researchers at the University of Texas at Austin, de-anonymized. Some of the Netflix data. The risks of ...

A couple of TSA data points. Nov 24th, 2010 at 9:00 AM. So, that was our experience, FWIW. 5 comments Leave a comment. Nov 24th, 2010 04:30 pm (UTC). Alex also went through one, and then had to have his arms patted down separately, as when he "assumes the (backscatter) position," at his great height, his arms are above the area read by the machine.

Die Würde einer Schoppe Schorle - a Chicago boy in der Pfalz
http://vaudvillain.livejournal.com/16827.html
A Chicago boy in der Pfalz. Jun 13th, 2005 @ 06:30 pm. Die Würde einer Schoppe Schorle. I've mentioned Schorle before.in the generic sense, juice or wine mixed with Sprudelwasser (carbonated mineral water). Since I am in the midst of wine festival season out here, any reference to Schorle in this post will be specifically to Weinschorle. My first Schorle (Weißherbst) was pretty close to the 50/50 mark. That was okay.it was the afternoon, and I didn't need to start out running. It was also in ...My second...

The continuing saga of nothing actually going my way. Open mouth, - Jane Waks. Aug 27th, 2010 11:48 am. The continuing saga of nothing actually going my way. Open mouth, insert feet. August 27th, 2010 03:55 pm (UTC). August 27th, 2010 04:02 pm (UTC). Failure of courtesy on my part. I was having a conversation with somebody and burst out that she should stop interrupting me. I regret saying it. August 27th, 2010 04:27 pm (UTC). August 27th, 2010 04:20 pm (UTC). August 27th, 2010 08:49 pm (UTC).
