Re: catholics, I'm curious how the questions were phrased about marriage. Do the respondents support gay marriage as a governmental institution, or do they want it to be available within the church? It wouldn't surprise me if people support the former while not supporting the latter. The catholic church is much less evangelical than the average protestant church, which I think yields more of a live and let live attitude among a greater subset of its population (as opposed to official messaging). This same difference in culture probably makes catholics less afraid than evangelicals that the existence of gay people and gay marriage will somehow infect them and their children. Combined with probably some latent pressure from JFK's presidency to separate the church's views from government views, it makes sense to me that average joe catholic would view it as a humanitarian issue that is unfair to people.

Who said anything about untying? My shoe is untied from when I took it off. And putting the foot in is a shared task, so it doesn't count as added time. For what it's worth, untying my shoe enough to be ready to take the shoe off took me about 1.5 seconds.

Comment on post naps!:
2010-04-28T15:44:59+00:00
I think I've taken the occasional <20 minute nap. I'm not a good napper generally (can't 'come down' enough usually), so when I do nap, it's usually 'accidental', as a result of dozing off. And in those cases, I often wake up pretty shortly thereafter (my guess would be about 10-15 minutes), and the 'shock' of realizing I was asleep makes me wake right up, at which point I can no longer get back to sleep for the usual reasons.

It does end up feeling nice :).

Comment on post Time Warner shelving bandwidth caps!:
2009-04-17T00:15:38+00:00
Bandwidth is a misnomer, since it implies "at a time." The plan was for a total usage cap, such that you could only up/download so many GB before having to pay overage fees for any further use (per month).

And while I'd say such caps shouldn't be implemented at all, at the very least, they shouldn't be implemented in such paltry amounts as Time Warner Cable was planning.

Comment on post new poll on gay marriage:
2008-07-21T11:29:38+00:00
Re your first point: Hence the 'not practical/realistic' disclaimer.

As for the second, my viewpoint, as unpractical as it is, is designed to diminish that very strongly. Since there wouldn't be a government institution of "marriage" or whatever other term, and instead there are just a bunch of legal contracts or what not floating around, it becomes much harder for people with issues about any particular lifestyle to point to something as societal approval of it.

Comment on post new poll on gay marriage:
2008-07-18T12:12:42+00:00
From a "what's right but not practical/realistic" standpoint, I don't think government has any reason to be involved with the relationships between people, as their relationships don't concern the general welfare. For places where it makes sense for government to provide protection (joint property ownership, living will), I think it would be more 'right' if you simply specified any people involved in those decisions on legal contracts.

The problem, of course, is that there are way too many such situations that would require these contracts. Now, I don't know much about all the existing marriage benefits, but I wouldn't be surprised if there are some that could/should be trimmed away. Nevertheless, there are still many such things that would need the proper legal paperwork etc. For that I would propose that legal houses start to provide convenience packages, with a for-example of say, the 'marriage' package, which would function much like closing on a home. You get your standard set of forms, eliminate those that you don't think make sense for your situation, spend a couple hours going through it, and bam, you've settled the various legal contracts.

That's sorta what I envision, but I recognize it's not very practical.

It's correct but probably not what you're looking for. You stated something about the marriage of one of his parents. If you want to talk about their collective marriage, you'd say Obama's parents' marriage.

Comment on post Website redesign:
2008-03-02T21:36:47+00:00
What made me think the page hadn't loaded was that the page says 'Click on an image...' and I didn't see anything that looked to me like an image - which is still the case, but now it's easier for me to think "oh, these colored textboxes must be the 'images', as I can click on them".

Table of contents good! It seems a little.. unbalanced? In that it's sorta narrow compared to everything around it. Maybe some sort of separation (space or line) between it and the actual categories would help that? Not sure. But that's pretty minor relaly :).

Comment on post Website redesign:
2008-03-02T19:28:06+00:00
I voted for confusing and unnecessary, but I really only meant confusing. Since the 'images' really look like textboxes with colored backgrounds, and since they give no cursor feedback (i.e. the hand-that-means-a-link), I thought for a little while that some of the page hadn't loaded for me. The word icon might help some, and again some sort of mouseover feedback (whether the cursor or feedback on the icon itself). But it's pretty neat :).

Organization is good, and that's an improvement, but I think a table of contents to get to the various sections would be a much bigger win than just having the categories in the first place. Especially since the categories aren't all from the same realm of possibilities (one wouldn't by default assume that if a set of categories contains 'mathy' that it would also include 'world of warcraft'), it's a good thing to be able to see all the categories in one place without extra noise or scrolling.

According to something I read quite recently (but I think I threw away and in any case can't find it), when you vote in the Texas primary, that labels you as a Democrat or Republican for 2 years, and prevents you from voting in the opposite party's primaries for 2 years (are there other primaries?). I don't know what other ramifications it may have (the primary prevention was the only thing listed), but it resets after those 2 years supposedly.

Boo for polls with two valid answers.

I believe they will be almost exactly the same, but the 'almost' would fall on the side of 2/3 being faster, so since that would be consistent (albeit tiny) I put my vote there.

I've got a RAZR, and it works quite well. Minor complaints are that I wish it could get slightly louder (to an uncomfortably loud volume in normal situations; this is only when I'm somewhere particularly loud), and the UI can be slightly laggy, but not too disturbingly so. I also don't know what to compare to in terms of other stuff out there.

2007-12-03T00:01:47+00:00
Hey so one piece of advice re: pictures. When you get home from a house-viewing trip, immediately sort the pictures into some identifiable form. What might be best actually would be to take a picture of a printout about the house before the pictures of the house.

I took lots of pictures to help remember them, and then later when I was reviewing them they sorta blended together ("wait so this bedroom.. was it for this house or the one after?").

Anyhoo don't put it off cause it very quickly gets forgotten.

Comment on post house-buying tips:
2007-10-23T16:20:22+00:00
And as much as they might push one particular house, as soon as you give a firm no, they know the only path to their $$$ is to help you find a new house that you will say yes to, so don't think that if you say no they'll just say "well screw you then, bye".

Comment on post house-buying tips:
2007-10-23T16:10:15+00:00
I second the recommendation to let a buyer's agent take you through the questions you have. If you get one and they're not being helpful enough for you, ditch them and get a new one, cause there's tons out there. It's their job basically to know everything you don't know about buying a house.

The one thing I want to add though is to definitely remember that you are under no obligation to act on anything. The agent may be somewhat 'enthusiastic' about houses that seem to your liking, but you should definitely use your own timetable until you're completely comfortable with any decisions. Listen to what they have to say, then go home and do your own research on the subject.

Also, as you do your hunting, bring a notepad with you. Keep a list of must-have's and like-to-have's, and add to them as you go, cause you'll think of new things as you look at the actual houses.

Well I guess I didn't have the spec for it, but yeah pushback was a real problem after some time. I think given that we have 2 warlocks, maybe we need to do a rotation where one of us does 2 seeds and then the other does the rest once the first gets the imps' aggro.

Comment on post starcraft, buying stuff:
2007-08-08T14:13:18+00:00
I also keyed in on the "shopping" vs "buying" distinction. As I explained to Greg in our discussion, I find the experience to take part in the thinking of the gift (which happens during "shopping") and in the giving of the gift, but the obtaining, or "buying", of the gift, is just logistics.

But sure, if the buying process is actually part of the experience for you, than I can see that it would lessen the experience, but I wouldn't think it's tacky.

Comment on post starcraft, buying stuff:
2007-08-08T10:15:51+00:00
I was about to indicate that I couldn't fathom it being tacky, but I guess I hadn't thought of this possibility. But even in this situation, I think there are certainly many circumstances where I'd consider it perfectly fine - a lot depends on the attitude taken toward it.

What in particular is the technology demonstration? It seems to be using run-of-the-mill technologies, at least in what I interface with.

As for it being a tool, it's a neat way to 'microblog', particularly if you make use of the SMS messaging to update while you're not at the computer. I know I put a bunch of little random thoughts on there that I'd never remember or be bothered to put on livejournal just cause they were small thoughts and I had easy access to it. Even when I'm at the computer, it feels easier to update twitter, which limits you to 140 characters or whatnot, then to update livejournal, where I usually feel like I ought to say something more substantial (and then end up typing waaay too much anyway).

Like now.

Anyhoo, I haven't given up, I've just been kitty-distracted :P.

It sure seems like hard drives are expected to fail much more quickly than they used to. =(

I think that products in general are being pushed too far into the convenience/cheap realm and getting too far away from reliability. It's great that things cost a lot less than they used to, but for some items especially (hard drives which can contain tons of important information), being able to replace them cheaply isn't a substitute for what's lost when you have to.

Comment on post what if money were no object?:
2007-06-05T10:38:38+00:00
I guess I'll fill in my whole answer here again, since I ran out of room in the textbox.

I'd stay at my current job for a while cause I enjoy the people I work with a lot, and we have fun at work (I don't imagine they'd take kindly to me hanging out in the office distracting people during the day when I didn't work there). Then I'd probably do like wildrice13 and spend a lot of time gaming, then take a huge motorcycle trip across the country, and then I'd know I'd get bored in time so I'd find some job or other that would be interesting to me without caring how much it paid or about the security. It might be fun to do a stint as a developer in the gaming industry (though given the hours I've heard of, just a stint ;) ).

Actually, what I might end up learning to do would be building custom motorcycles, so that I could build my own some day :). So I'd go find an apprenticeship somewhere or something like that.

re: the miniseries, I had heard that from various people prior to my viewing it, but I also didn't find it to be the case when I watched it the first time; I found it quite enjoyable (though long, of course). But when I rewatched it, I was suddenly aware that it was really sloooow. I dunno, I think it probably as a whole is a pretty slow miniseries but has enough introductions of things/people/concepts that your mind is paying attention to all that and doesn't notice the slower pace when everything's new to you. I bet to someone who'd seen a couple episodes and went back to see the miniseries for the first time, or maybe even someone who'd seen the first series back in the day, it'd be more noticeable.

Regarding the defense lawyer being very thorough; I would imagine/guess that even when (especially when?) you are court-appointed for a trial, you would want to do your best to win it, to up your percentages, so to speak. Like surgeons in the medical world, I can imagine that if people can get their hands on their percentages, they're very likely to judge based on that, without looking at all into the circumstances of the lawyer's past.

But that's all speculation.

Yes, the way to change these things is very odd, since you're just inserting stylesheets in the middle of a page as far as I can tell. (Like I told you before, you put the stylesheet stuff in the "About me" box of your profile).

Well speaking of all the films, you didn't include all the films in the poll.

It did seem that most of the nominated films were lower grossing than average - I think Crash was possibly helped by it not being clear it was a thinker movie and not an entertainment flick (I mean come on, "Crash" - "Ooh, so it's a movie about some sort of car crash or plane crash or something.. that sounds fun").

Perhaps it merits a re-watch?

It's been a while since I saw Crash, but I don't think it tried to teach any lessons, and definitely not 'after-school' ones. Rather I thought the movie set out specifically to *avoid* teaching any lesson but rather to just force you to confront yourself and make you think about what you think about the issues. I know it made me introspect.

Well yes, that's my point, they should make the weirder drives which are surely easy to come up with.
MAKE THEM NOW!

Hmm, some of those are pretty weird, but I bet people could easily come up with much much weirder drives. People need to try harder for next year.

Yikes! That would definitely scare the crap out of me.

Is there like a deer-in-street season (and is it now)? I've noticed a whole bunch of deer on the sides of the roads lately.

Wow, that's great that Tyler's doing such a great job for all the evacuees who need help.
This is a different Jonathan, Jonathan Mendez; I'm not sure we ever met in person at Rice.
Congrats on your new job in KY. I hope things go well for you there.

Right, whoever was driving was the one who got to play the PSP.

Hey Julie,
Thanks for the nice words about the site and Go Owls! I remember you from RBT (I was Greg's roommate at Will Rice).
How are things with the evacuees there in Tyler? I hope people are finding some level of comfort in the helping hands from Texas as they arrive :(.

So now that things are (hopefully and probably) working on Windows, will you go back and install on Linux?

Yeah, I was gathering that.. I don't get what the appeal of the 'good' side is, but whatever, I'm a team player.

You presumably need to go to Fry's before you play WoW. Maybe not.
August, however, isn't yet in the realm of "soon" to me. But good to know!

So how soon is soon?
And when are you going to Fry's?

Yes, ya'll're being a little over-paranoid. The proposed amendment, put into the constitution, would not be law. It gives the power to create law. And laws have to go through their processes (yay school house rock), wherein various people have the chance to formulate language etc. Furthermore, once any such laws are created, if you run afoul of something stupid, the courts have the chance to say that it's something stupid and does not fit the language of the proposed amendment.

There's *plenty* of vagueness in the constitution, over which many a court battle has been fought and many a floor fight been had. But it's not, itself, the law.

You, um, do plan on going to the Magic Kingdom sometime while you're there, yes?

It's not as much actually "wild" swinging as it looks like (but it really really looks like it heh). I did a little Yoda studying on my own in the safety of the diner to figure him out.

I also later discovered you can walk outside through those doors that the random passers-by go through (I could've sworn I tried and wasn't able to before)! You get to see all the mini-kits you've put together (fully or partially) and also the super-kit (which I've not completed, w00t). And, if the 'light' and 'dark' computer walking-around peoples happen across each other, they fight! Fun stuff.

Disclaimer: I have not read the article.

Would it actually be that people are afraid of their kids being 'taught the wrong thing' rather than people being afraid of homosexuals being pedophiles? (Particularly since people *don't* freak out about a heterosexual man coaching a team of underage girls?)

I've started to buy into the school of thought that we all are "crazy" (i.e. various psychological conditions) to some extent, it's just by how much we're crazy that determines whether we get labeled or not. So, yeah, you might be a little bipolar, but probably not "bipolar."

And your color scheme sucks. :)
