National Security
Does anybody beside me find it kind of irritating that the government that's so intent on peering up everybody's tuchus at the airport can't be bothered to encrypt its own communications over diplomatic channels?
Ashlan Gorse for Black Halo
Good afternoon fashionistas and fashionisters!
Check out E! anchor Ashlan Gorse in the Denise Mini in Fig from E! News last week. She looks amazing pairing it with a silver necklace that's organically shaped to compliment the natural fig hue; and with simple shoes. The look is easy yet sophisticated. We die!

Crochet Afghan Finished
Took about a year. Making Grampy Rectangles got me through many a Case Conference and commute.
Cannot Install Software
Arduino-o-o-o-!
I bought this from the Maker Shed. It would have been nice if, up front, somebody had told me that it won't work with Windows XP short of reanimating an extinct Slobovian goat, learning the Unix kernel by heart, and composing a Petrarchian sonnet to the goat without using the if/elif/if/else structure. I found and installed the driver. Now there's a sync problem, whatever that is. Still won't accept a program via the USB connection.
Good job, cyber-hipsters. Glad you can do all those fancy things with your LEDs. Got to admit, I'm a little bit frustrated & bitter over here.

Poem by Pam
Pam is a poet who sells her work at the Civic Center Plaza, a buck for a poem. Here's the one I bought last Thursday, on the requested themes of chartreuse pigtail rubberbands and the intransigence of modern bureaucracy. Thanks, Pam!
