On a somewhat related side note, one of my two younger sisters — a vegetarian, no less — had a job once in Nebraska doing some sort of accounting for a ginormous cattle ranch. I recall her describing to me once how odd a feeling it was “accounting” for cows in metric tons.

FISA, the ACLU, and fairly well-drafted complaints.

I just finished perusing the complaint the ACLU filed last Monday against the director of the NSA in MI’s ED requesting declaratory and injunctive relief in the whole wire-tapping debacle. While I’m certainly by no means intimately familiar with FISA, it looks pretty well written overall.

So I set my alarm for about 7:45 this morning in anticipation of getting up in time to take a shower before my class at 10:00. The alarm goes off, of course, but I decide to forego the shower and end up sleeping another 15 minutes until the alarm goes off again. Then I shut [...]

… my first 60 hours here have been an absolute whirlwind of non-stop throwing down, celebration style. I should have expected no less, I guess.
After working straight through on Thursday night, I caught my Friday morning flight to SFO on time, but couldn’t seem to fall asleep on the plane. After a nice 3 hour [...]
