I fear for the internets

Most of you probably are already aware of the Net Neutrality debate, and the ridiculousness of some of the things that have been said.

Here’s The Daily Show’s coverage:

And here’s a sound clip that has the whole speech:

Hopefully it won’t clog your tubes.

Team Shadow ftw!!

Team Shadow successfully completed the fiendish tasks set forth by Fire Lake’s demonic horde and recovered their souls from the clutches of Agenorath. Over a period of 40 straight hours K-mart, Max Powers, Trey, Kaiser, Machine, Bollywood, Amiya (who never had a nickname stick) and myself (die-hard) completed puzzles ranging from reading invisible ink on rocks to melting metal balls to live action games of Lemmings to , over an area of western washington including Snohomish, Everett, West Seattle, Tacoma, Mercer Island and Redmond.

In hour 22 (6 am sunday) i got violently ill, i think due to the McDonald’s we had consumed. I decided that it would be unwise to continue on given how i was feeling. After that puzzle we had a 2 hour waiting period anyway, so I headed back to my apartment to see if i would feel better after napping. I slept through my alarm and Amiya’s subsequent phone call. I awoke at 9:30, still feeling sick, but better than before, and heard that my team was southbound to Tacoma. I went back to unconsciousness until 2:00 when i called them up and said I would like to rejoin them the next time they were in Redmond. Turns out that happened around 5:30 and we finished out the game at 9:30pm.

One of the best times was when my fingers were stained yellow with Iodine and my palm was green because of a felt tip marker incident. Pictures at an indeterminate point in the future.

I should get back to work.
