Diane Duane: "So You Want to Be a Wizard" New... →
dduane:
This message will tell you how to win an ebook copy* of the New Millennium Edition of So You Want to Be a Wizard... and also let you see the new cover.
…Gradually.
Here’s how this will work.
You see the jigsaw puzzle above? Four times a day or so, a new version of the image with a piece…
I have the existing e-books, they’re in my to-read queue. But I like to support...

girlnboots replied to your photo: This is what I mean when I say that my 10YO… And she chose wisely
She LOVES fruits and vegetables. Which is good, I’m not complaining. Except when she purposely eats tomatoes in front of me, because tomatoes are evil and poisonous.

I should probably briefly explain the TSA agent pic I posted. I believe I have very little overlap between Tumblr and Twitter, where I explained a bit.
I always opt out if they ask me to go through the scanners at airports. And I always try to get a picture of the guy who did my pat down. Naturally, I can only do that after the process is done, because I don’t have my phone on me for the...

Wife is now in Vegas with me. It’s nice to have a bed that doesn’t squeak and no kids around, you know?
My eyes are a bit red this morning. It’s only Thursday morning and I’m here through Sunday night. Then I have to get up Monday morning around 4:00AM to get my 12YO off to scout camp, then go to work.
I’m getting too old for this.
Back to paying attention to the malware anti-analysis talk I’m in.
In Las Vegas for the security conferences I go to every year, Black Hat and Defcon. Nice to see a lot of friends I only get to see at these things.

We watched The Dark Crystal for our family movie last night. My wife and 10Y daughter were the only ones who hadn’t seen it before. Wife didn’t like it, 10YO was traumatized.
Spoiler alert, I guess? If you’re planning to watch the 30 year-old movie for the first time next week?
First off, I guess the puppets are scary, or at least gross, if you’re a 10YO. But the real...
SWAG
We use SWAG in my line of work. It stands for: Scientific, Wild-Assed Guess. This is when someone needs a number and you explain that the study hasn’t been done, and we can’t provide an accurate amount… but they need a number NOW. You hand them a SWAG.
I got SWAG. I got SWAG all day.
You know, using the murder of a bunch of innocent people as a platform to push the way you think the world should be is pretty reprehensible, IMHO.

I asked my wife if they all fit in the car, and she said yes. Our minivan seats 7. If the missing child and his girlfriend had been in town, or I had been there, we would have needed two cars for sure.
The one in the middle at the end is my oldest daughter’s first boyfriend. Hm. I haven’t met him yet.

That’s how I do planes. Headphones, sunglasses, Go away, I’m sleeping.

girlnboots replied to your post: I have a relatively long commute to work. 52… I do it too. On the subway.
Still in your head though, right? Because on the subway at least you have other people you theoretically could talk to. You could turn to the person next to you and say “I want to tell you what I think of that idiotic strawman of a post you reblogged.” I’m pretty...

wannakickit replied to your post: I have a relatively long commute to work. 52… I should try that sometime. My commute is only half an hour but I’m sure I could imaginarily pick a fight with you.
Well mine are just verbal. Not sure I want a physical fight with you. :) Also, I’m WAY above your weight class. :)
I have a relatively long commute to work. 52 minutes on the way in this morning, and that’s not a bad time. Best time one way was 42m, longest was 2h1m. I realized today while I’m driving that I have arguments in my head with people from the Internet. I’m arguing with you people while I’m driving.
