This is the low down on my life here in Columbia.
I’ve been describing my life as a resemblance to a housewife. I do not mean that harshly. In fact, I have a lot more respect for what my mother does now. Now that I’ve experienced what it is like to cook, clean, fold and master the art of living alone, I see why my mom bestowed responsibility on me. It truly is important to be responsible. Of course, I don’t like to be responsible 24/7, but for most of the time, I’m responsible for my actions. This includes what I eat, say and do. I have been balancing out my motherly duties with cleaning, but I like to talk about it because I never used to be this way. I was responsible in other aspects of my life but lazy in many others. I was the type of kid that waited for food instead of brought food to myself. I was the type of kid that wouldn’t do something unless an incentive was given.
My sister’s apartment seems smaller than usual as I keep bumping myself against this and that. I smacked my knee a few times on the end table and now it hurts. My poor mommy cannot give it a kiss to make it all better. Nope. I give my own boo boo’s kisses now.
Those crab cakes I ate for dinner the other day reminded me of a hot flame.

The Internet Defense League
The Internet can always use more heroes and Alexis Ohanian, founder of Reddit, and Fight for the Future have formed the Internet Defense League to make it so.
Public enemy number one: ACTA and CISPA style legislation that seems to sprout like mushrooms these days.

Ohanian describes the project, which they plan to officially launch next month, as a “Bat-Signal for the Internet.” Any website owner can sign up on the group’s website to add a bit of code to his or her site–or receive that code by email at the time of a certain campaign–that can be triggered in the case of a political crisis like SOPA, adding an activist call-to-action to all the sites involved, such as a widget or banner asking users to sign petitions, call lawmakers, or boycott companies.
“People who wish to be tapped can see, oh look, the Bat-Signal is up. Time to do something,” says Ohanian. “Whatever website you own, this is a way for you to be notified if something comes up and take some basic actions…If we aggregate everyone that’s doing it, the numbers start exploding.”
Developers are encouraged to join the League. GitHub is here, a Google Group here and Tracker is here.
