(this isn’t an SCL post, just closely related thoughts)
I love how every generation has a musical change that indicates “really worshiping” or that we’re kicking it into high gear now. For my parents, it’s the key change. People stand and start raising their hands as if the key of D is so much…

Planning a new website
It’s not an original site, but it’s another where I’m hoping for success where others have failed. Always kind of nervous how it’ll turn out. And building from scratch this time == security fun. Which reminds me, I’d like to figure out a way to do automatic backups of nerdfighteria.info.

I have a very clear strategy of deciding when to pirate and when to buy: Is it not available for sale anywhere online? Pirate Will my money go to a major record label? Pirate Otherwise: Buy

Vogue Italia's petition against "pro-ana" websites →
I’m unsure how I feel about this… Anorexia isn’t something you can really defend, and as a society we really do need to prevent it, but is shutting down websites really the way to do it?
I have a problem with banning any website, as it seems an affront to freedom of speech. Petition the website creator to shut the site down? Sure, that’s perfectly fine. But this petition...
