No More Packet8
I’ve cancelled my Packet8 service, so the 206-384-4309 number is no more. You can still call me on my cell phone (if you have it), email my cell phone (mobile at pig dash monkey dot com), or leave me voicemail at: 1-206-339-HACK

Job Shadow
I was able to skip school today and job shadow at Intermec. I shadowed two UNIX admins for most of the day. It was good times. I learned a lot, played with new toys, and spent time in the GNOC (global network operations center). They were surprised I knew anything about Linux (I turned a couple people on to Slackware and Gentoo), and the engineering guys want me to work for them.
In other news, being in the mall when the power goes out is cool.
The Art of Resistance
There’s going to be a political artist conference May 15 & 16 in Seattle.
The 2004 conference is the first annual gathering of political artists from around the country and the world. The conference will consist of two days of workshops, speakers and events exploring political art. Conference participants will receive hands-on skills and practical knowledge, a broader understanding of the history and current state of political art and benefit from the rare opportunity of being able to spend a weekend in a building full of political artists from across the country. We hope to strengthen the movement of artists for global justice by linking together communities of artists whether geographically bound or connected by specific issue. The Art of Resistance will host three nights of open events featuring film, performance, spoken word, music and visual art and a political art exhibit which will be on display during the conference.
Copyrights and Copywrongs
I finished reading Siva Vaidhyanathan‘s Copyrights and Copywrongs: The Rise of Intellectual Property and How It Threatens Creativity. It’s an interesting book, if you’re into copyright. Me, well, I was bored at parts, and it’s not very high on my recommendation list. I suggest you go to your local bookstore and read the Afterword. If you’re not getting evil glares from the management when you finish that, skim the last chapter (“The Digital Moment”). Those are the only good parts.

The Confusion
I picked up Neal Stephenson’s The Confusion yesterday. Sadly, I probably won’t read it till the summer. I have a very large stack of books to read, and school doesn’t help.
I bought Kill Bill, too.
Concert
A Perfect Circle tomorrow in the Tacoma Dome. Yay.
