Ben at 3
July 27th, Ben hit the big 3. Gifts and cake ruled the night. Ben read us this book cover to cover, well he made up his own story based on the pictures. At the age of 3 he tells more cohesive tales than Rove and Bush Inc.
The Patio For Not Much Longer
A few months back Scuttle crafted us a screened in patio/deck dealio which made our house much more than it ever was. Sadly we are saying goodbye to it and the whole house. From SE to NoPo, where of course a new screened patio will be commishioned. Next one I will build the cat5 drops into the works.
Zoobombers
Trevor snaps the Portland idea of a parking garage. One day soon, when I have shed some mass, a zoobombing I shall go. Until then its NoPo bombing for me.

Liberation Fronting
We stick our swords into strange beasts in our lives. Some fight for freedom from, some fight for freedom to, some just like to run around like swashbuckling doers of dare. We all need a cool drink though,

What Podcasts Do I Archive?
I listen to a bunch of podcasts. Some I like, some I fast forawrd thru quickly, some I cant wait for every week, some I am responsible for. Mostly though any podcast I have grabbed since Jan 2005 is archived over two local machines[1]. I am not doing the depth of archiving that Jason Scott is doing with his collection, this is more my slice of faves.
So what podcasts am I listening to and archiving. Here is the list. Am I missing any good ones? Any of these make your toes curl? Comment away.
[1] If you happen to be connected to my netowrk just head over to http://10.11.25.120:8888 for the older stuff and http://10.11.25.15:8888 for the last month or so of podcasts.

The world has lost one of the few people who through my life made me feel better about being me. "There's only one person in the whole world like you." He made us smile in times of trouble, he made us realize it's OK to be who we are, no matter what that was. In a world of intractable fundamentalists, he planted the seeds of tolerance.
"Children aren't responsible for wars. The least, and the best, we adults can do is to let our children know that we'll take good care of them, no matter what."
Off on that one way ride to the Land of Make Believe, he will always be our nieghbor.

Public Domain Doomed?
The Supreme Court gave an unpleasant 7-2 decison to lock in long term copyright controls All the works that should have fallen into the Public Domain are now locked out of the PD for a lifetime or two.
Most works made after the 1920's will never go out of copyright
Disney has been a major force in pushing this through. Its more important to them to keep control of the Rat than for our country to have a rich and vibrant public domain as envisoned by Jefferson et. al. A tip of the slave hat to Sonny Bono for his great works in shackling works.
So the companies keep thier works, the courts rule you can extend on demand, and the Public Domain is locked up.

With the RIIA forcing legislation to "tax" all netcasting it was only a matter of time before a new/old method took to the wires. PeerCasting works by having each listener of a channel become a relay so others can listen. The more folks that listen the more folks can listen, each giving what they can to realy. The client does all the realying and bandwidth limiting for you, the interface is easy to use, and offering up conent is a snap.
I had a test server up, but truth be told Im just not up for netcasting at the moment. Head over to the WSMF Listening Room and grab a few audio goodies.

To counteract the lack of activity here on this webpage our family life has been bustling with action. Since our last entry we have taken a trip to South Dakota, purchased a new house, moved into said house and are now in the process of unpacking the plethora of objects into our new surroundings.
Benjamin and Heather are both growing by leaps and bounds. Pictures and video will be made available to those who care to see them via our new DSL net connection, which once again has given me the ability to set up web servers, zope servers and a host of other networking goodness.
The new home and the new DSL have also allowed me to enter the wonderful world of wireless networking not just in the house but as part of a community networking system. The Portland Personal Telco Project is the one I am hooking into locally as well as using SeattleWireless , Freenetworks.org and NoCat as jumping off points for learning all the new voodoo not just for the tech aspects but for community building aspects. Once again an opportunity has arisen to make open communication between people possible. Lets hope it gets wide spread use before the corporations and the govs find ways to regulate down to sterility.

At 12:45 pm Benjamin Wallace Higgins made a crash entry into the world. After a night of on again off again activity a C section was called for near noon. Seems the little hacker was messing with the internal cables and got three turns of the umbilical cord around his neck for the effort. Ill have to teach him about the art of cable bundling. Benjamin Wallace came out at 6 lbs 13 oz 20 somthing inches tall and doing what all Higgins boys do best... feed and sleep. Mother and Child are doing great.

The Gallery Of BennyHannah Higgins
Friday was the day mother and child went in for the latest round of family photographs. The process was mindblowing. Seeing our kid unfold on the ultrasound screen was like watching some bizzare mix of shows from The Learning Channel, Science Fiction Channel and a Fellini Film.
A little explanation about the name BennyHannah. If the critter is a boy his name will be Benjamin Wallace, if it is a girl then her name will be Hannah Kathleen. Up until Friday we have been calling the kid BennyHannah. After the pictures...well you tell us what you think.
Here are a few of the highlights...The Face Off
