This from an email that I decided not to send to a friend

Thank you for writing an intelligent reply to my question.

I’m not referring to you at all in saying that I find it terribly frustrating when when a question in the middle of a conversation is deliberately not addressed.

And I find it a pleasure to deal with people that -do- maintain the conversation.

On April 8th I went to Nimby for the East Bay Rats Fight Party. It was intense.

Here is a video with footage from last year’s night promoting this one. I’ve got some pretty wild videos from my camera but the production isn’t nearly as good as this.

Yes. This is really what it was like.

Which picture should I choose for the FLG calendar?

If you have a Kel Tec SU-16, you might love it except for one little detail… The takedown pin in the handle is so tight that you need a tool to insert or remove it. I found a great hack on what to do about this.

You can replace the takedown pin with a 1/4″ hitch pin from a hardware store. It works peachy keen. The pin stays in perfectly and is easy to remove by pulling on the attached ring. (Source)

After Adam Corola on 106.9 Free FM this morning at 10am there was a female talk show host. I’m almost positive that it’s the woman who wants a cookie in the Evolution Control Committee’s song!

It took me 10 minutes of listening before I could recall where I knew her voice from.

Last night at the Box Shop, I saw a blue shirt that made me think a bit. It read “Permabit” across the left breast. I thought, “That’s nice. I’ve heard of that company. They don’t exist anymore, do they? Now why exactly do I know that company? Hmm. I don’t know. Oh well, I’ll get back to helping to take photos…”

About an hour later, a guy in a blue shirt looked at me and said, “HEY! Lee! How are you?!”

[blank stare] “How do I know you?”

“It’s Geo!”

We talked for a while. Yes, he’s gotten the all the occational emails and phone messages I’ve sent over the last year. He’s just been too busy to get back to me. He looks TOTALLY different. Crazy chin scruff, weirdly sticking-up hair (he said he had been windboarding or something all day), and uber-cool shades.

The photo session went great. I’ll show you my pix shortly.

Netflix to offer free month as part of case
Posted May 2, 2006
A judge has approved a class-action settlement requiring Netflix Inc. to offer a free month of DVDs to 5.5 million current and former subscribers. The settlement resolves a case that prompted the online rental service to acknowledge it gives preferential treatment to its most profitable customers. The settlement, released Monday after being approved last Friday, had been delayed since March when a California state judge balked at lawyers’ payments contained in a settlement proposal. Netflix expects to begin sending out notices of the final settlement later this month. The company has estimated the total settlement costs at $8.95 million, but that figure assumes it will pay $2.5 million in attorney fees.

They are losing a suit because they gave preferential treatment to their more profitable customers? You’re kidding, right? That doesn’t smack of socialism, that is the definition of socialism.

What am I missing here?

(BTW, I’ll be receiving a free month of service as part of the settlement. Heck, that might get me to start using Netflix again… wait a minute…)
