Nothing Is Scarier Than An Unemployed Nerd: Why You Still Need To Care About SOPA And PIPA Legislation

SOPA is dead, PIPA is tabled… but we still need to fight just as hard as we did on Wednesday.

SOPA died today, but it’s not gone.  Its name will change and the offending provisions that caused Wednesday’s events will be tacked onto another bill. The rumors are that it will be added as a provision to The Protecting Children From Internet Pornography Act of 2011. And even if it doesn’t get added to that bill, it will be thrown in to another bill.

Hollywood Puppy Needs Your Help

UPDATE: THE PUPPY GOT A HOME. YAY!!

Last night, two of my friends found a teeny tiny long-haired chihuahua puppy on their block in Hollywood.

He needs a good home… maybe yours?

He may also be part Mogwai.

If you or any of your friends that live in the Los Angles area are looking to adopt an abandoned puppy and save a life (while simultaneously making yours so very much better), please reach out to Jodie (JJ) or Alden for more details.

He's the smaller of the two.

Congratulations Mel and Rob!!!

My cousin Melanie got married in secret ceremony at a very pretty library in St. Paul, Minnesota on New Year’s Eve.

Pretty damn clever, kids.

Glad I bought the first round WHEN I SAW YOU LAST WEEK AND YOU DIDN’T SAY A THING.
