Voltaic Generator laptop bag

I wrote to the Voltaic people to ask whether their new laptop-charging bag would be available any time soon... it would have been super awesome to sport one of those bad boys at the WWDC in early June and just keep my own power supply with me at all times.

Sadly, they've hit a delay and probably won't have them available until the end of June. In any case, I'm definitely going to pick up a spare laptop battery for the show; having two should cover power requirements for all sessions during the day if I can't find an outlet to charge up at.

I've got business cards coming as well. I've got to revamp my website at The World too... it's way overdue for an overhaul.

Oh You Wacky Heteronormatives!

So my co-worker today was telling me how she has a cousin who is having an "engagement party" and she has to go to it for family obligation... but apparently her cousin has also REGISTERED A GIFT LIST for her "engagement party".

What the hell???

I mean, hey, great, you found a nice guy and you're engaged. ISN'T THE RING ENOUGH? And the "traditional" engagement presents exchanged by engaged parties? Okay, sure, I'll agree it's nice to have a little celebration, but do you really need your friends and family to give you presents? Don't they do that at, oh, the WEDDING SHOWER? And the WEDDING? And gee, if you spawn, don't you get a baby shower too? Here's an idea: get pregnant now, sprog the crotchfruit out right after the wedding, and have a superperfecta of gifting parties in nine months! It's all about YOU! And presents!

What's next, you ask?

"going steady party" - we're dating dating now, give me stuff!
"I met a guy party" - he's soooo nice, won't you get me a blender?
"I bought new shoes party" - these Manolos are awesome, would some crystal go nice with them??
"I woke up party" - whoo hoo, I'm conscious! Where's my fucking placemats, bitchez???

Memorial Day?

Anybody want to see me for Memorial Day? I'd consider making a trek if anybody wants to have me... I kind of feel like going out and visiting over the long weekend.
