via an email blast from Senator Al Franken As you may know, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has decided not to bring the PROTECT IP Act (the Senate’s version of SOPA) up for a vote next week. And since I’ve heard from many of you about this issue, I wanted to take a moment to share why I support copyright protection legislation – as well as why I believe holding off on this bill is the...

video + post by erica hampton: We only made it to the beach twice while Xander was here for christmas break. He is always so happy when we go. It made me realize that going to the beach with Xander is my favorite thing to do, my favorite place to be. It’s kind of a big deal, actually. Before Mike moved to Ypsi we took turns visiting each other. When I came to LA we would always visit the beach....

Here's a silly idea...
missing-e: neil-gaiman: wilwheaton: Maybe instead of using FUD to terrify Tumblr users into uninstalling Missing E, Tumblr could use that time and energy to give Tumblr users the functionality they installed Missing E to get in the first place. It would be difficult to hope for a more pleasantly notable reblog chain than this, with wilwheaton and neil-gaiman. The sentiment is...
