Yeah, I totally met Bob. I took a stealth trip to Boston and had lunch with @ravelry Jess and Casey. They’re so awesome, and so is Bob.

So true.
I started university in 1994, with Netscape for web and elm for email. Then pine. By the time I started grad school in ‘98, Netscape was on its way out and cross-browser compatibility was a daily website-making consideration. It’s amazing how fast it all evolves.

Cory Doctorow: “This is as bad as I’ve ever seen, folks. It’s a declaration of war by the entertainment industry and their captured regulators against the principles of free speech, privacy, freedom of assembly, the presumption of innocence, and competition.”
BAD.
If the kid was only “starting to learn it” by the age of three, something’s wrong either with Klingon or with the dad’s speaking of it. If Klingon’s a language that has all of the properties of “natural” human languages, the kid should have started picking it up before he was a year old. The more I think about it, the more fascinated I get by this.

Help Lorem Ipsum Out
For the past 6 years, our small independent bookstore in Inman Square, Cambridge has been a place for books, community, and innovation. We now face a difficult hurdle in a difficult industry in a difficult economy: the store must move—or close.
Luckily, we found a better space (more books! room for events!) but we need the funds to make it happen. Maybe you’ve sold books when you’ve had a cash crunch — well, that’s exactly what we’re looking to do now, only on a bit bigger scale:
Ten days. Five thousand books.
That’s right — selling five thousand books in our inventory (of 19,000) will raise the cash we need to fund the move, hire staff, and set up bigger and better than before in a new location a few blocks away. (Don’t worry, still in Inman Square area, and we’ll bring the Chicken Machine with us.
Here’s how it works:
- Buy certificates online via Google Checkout in handy $10 amounts.
- Starting December 1, redeem each certificate for any book (priced at $20 or less — see what an awesome deal this is?) at the store or online.
We don’t have much time, so help us get the word out!
» Participate by visiting this page which will take you to Google to buy the certificate. We’ll email you the certificate soon after your order is processed(via Rekha)
Please spread the word—in order for this flash sale to work, we need as many people as possible to know about it. Once you purchase your certificate, please spread the word by telling your friends about us. Use Twitter, Facebook, semaphores, or any other form of gossip to get the word out.
Many thanks for your support,
