( Dear Chairman Coble and Members of the Subcommittee, )

Time for my first posting that actually resembles a journal entry - don't expect many more of these :)

I am going to Finland, with Esther. We're visiting

eirias. Leaving Boston on Friday evening, March 15th, and returning on March 29th. My accessline phone number should still work when I'm there, though at times it may just be voicemail.

The MA Supreme Judicial Court legalized (consensual, non-public) sex last week: http://www.glad.org/press48-2-21-02.html

(previously, if I recall correctly, the only clearly legal sex in MA was a married couple in missionary position)

I think it's important.
Ashcroft scares me more than the terrorists now that he's a declared McCarthyist.

Since I don't actually use this journal as a journal, but I do participate in some LJ communities, I might as well start posting links here to things I post in those communities. That way those of you who've added me as a friend actually get something to read every once in a while :)

Here are my two most recent ones:

Okay, if I'm not using this as a diary, I guess I can use it as a way to communicate random things to random (and non-random) people.

PayPal, Yahoo, and Amazon, set up Red Cross funds on September 11th, and raised millions of dollars each. Now I think it would be nice if they set up new funds alongside those, to raise money for Afghan refugees and war victims.

Sure, a few million dollars won't be much compared the the billions our government *should* contribute (and the hundreds of millions they're already spending), but then, I don't know if the $30-odd million raised for the Red Cross is really significant compared to how much FEMA and other government agencies already spent in NYC. It's still helpful, and a good statement to make too.

I just sent this suggestion to:
webform@paypal.com
disaster-relief@amazon.com
postmaster@yahoo.com
[I couldn't find any useful address for Yahoo so I gave up and sent to postmaster, if you know of something better let me know].

If you like the idea, suggest it to them.

It is good to be cos in yet another context.

I have two other LJs:

cosmusic,

coslinks

See what links I've been reading on del.icio.us (coslinks),
and what links I've been posting on reddit (cos).
Update: I abandoned delicious in 2016 after they'd been deterioriating for a few years, and I now post links on pinboard instead.

Photos: Some from the 90s on my old web site, newer ones on Flickr (cospics) and most recent (pretty much anything since 2006) on Facebook
Videos: YouTube (youcos)
