Rock Music is Corrupting Our Youth

Saturday, August 27th, 2005

Utah police continue to crack down on young people “illegally” gathering to listend to loud music. What is this? The 1950s, when rock and roll music (and the young people who listen to it) was a cause of concern to police departments? I understand the rules behind getting permits for gatherings and public events, but [...]

Another day, another ranty post on local and national politics.

Friday, August 26th, 2005

Me in the media Is it bad that I’ve gotten so used to doing interviews about local gay politics that I forget I’ve done them until someone says “I read/saw/heard you talking about…” well after the fact? I did an interview with Inside Utah last week about Rocky Anderson’s plans to offer domestic partner benefits. [...]

If your friends all jumped off a cliff…

Friday, August 26th, 2005

List all the people/characters in your icons. (Ignore multiple icons with the same person.) Alphabetise them, and discuss the pairing potential of adjacent ones. This was actually pretty fun (and my list was short enough), the only problem was for comic book characters deciding between costume or secret identity names. Andrew/Death – I can see [...]

The most important poll ever!

Thursday, August 25th, 2005

I’ve spent the last year getting creative with how I wear my facial hair. Now, if I get the new job, I’ll likely have to pick a look and stick with it. Therefore, I’d like some feedback about what looks best… (keep in mind, shaving is not my favorite activity) While we’re on the topic [...]

SLC and Rocky: the Domestic Partner Issue

Thursday, August 25th, 2005

Rocky set to extend benefits to partners Gay, straight: Approval [...]

Okay, last spam entry for the day… The Rave Raid This messageboard is being used by people who were at the rave that got raided (which I commented on yesterday) to collect evidence and statements about what really happened. Some of the video and camera footage that escaped the police is kinda disturbing. Of course, [...]

I warned y’all I was feeling “spammy” today. I was going through Michael’s pics from the rally on Monday and found two pictures of myself in the crowd. We have more photos at our website.

Underachievement with CAFE?

Wednesday, August 24th, 2005

Well, I’m underwhelmed with the Bush administration’s take on fuel efficiency… From this story… SUVs and light trucks account for more than half the vehicles on American highways. The proposal would require manufacturers to gradually increase the efficiency of all but the largest new SUVs and pickup trucks to 23.5 miles a gallon in 2011 [...]

Sundance Interview (2005)

Wednesday, August 24th, 2005

Caution, friends, I’m feeling spammy today so you may get a lot of posts. Well, I thought the interview went well. But then, I think I always interview well. I hate the “standard interview questions” though. “What would your peers say are your biggest strengths and weaknesses?” I know I’m supposed to say something like [...]
