As I Posted about last week, I attended Mashup Camp at the Computer History Museum this week. It has been a packed couple of days. I mentioned before I was not really considering entering the Speedgeeking Contest that occurs at each Mashup Camp.

Coworkers have recently encouraged me to get onto facebook. As people who know me well know, I've never been a big fan of Social Networking sites, so I resisted facebook for a long time, just as I resisted MySpace and Linkedin. Actually I resisted facebook longer, as I just got my profile up last week. I have always thought that social networking sites were a waste of time, that anyone who wanted to get ahold of me would easily find me on my blog.

I've long been disillusioned with Viacom and it's child companies, especially after CBS/UPN canceled such great shows as Enterprise and Joan of Arcadia, despite massive Fan support. Today, Viacom proves yet again that it doesn't care about the interest of it's viewers, Viacom has filed a lawsuit against Google for $1 billion dollars. The story goes, that according to Viacom, over a hundred thousand Viacom copyrighted materials have been viewed on Google owned YouTube over a million and a half times. The problem with Viacom's claim though is that they believe it is Google's fault for allowing the clips to be uploaded in the first place. YouTube wouldn't work if it weren't for allowing clips to be uploaded, and YouTube has long had a mechanism in place where if a copyright owner complains, they will pull down the copyrighted content quickly.

Perhaps the most controversial aspect of this year's MacWorld Conference and Expo, which my wife and I got to attend, was not the announcement of the iPhone, but the lack of the phrase "And now, one more thing" which has been Steve Jobs' catch phrase at his keynotes for quite some time now. Since Jobs didn't use it this year, I'm going to shamelessly steal the phrase for the day and say "And Now, one more thing from Justia". I mentioned previously, that I was already working on the next project after Dockets and that Justia would be announcing it soon. My boss announced it today on a legal mailing list, so now I can finally talk about Justia Regulation Tracker at RegulationTracker.com!

I'm constantly being told I'm far too negative, that I focus too much on all the bad things in my life and not enough on the pleasures in life.
It's 5:35 in the morning and I haven't slept. In 4 hours I'm going to have to be at school ready to perform my first graded scene in Acting I class, then I will have to perform my first speech (Historical) in Public Speaking Class, then I will have to go straight to rehearsal where I'm expected to be off book, and then I will have 2 grueling classes of non-stop notetaking that will take me until 9 p.m., and of course, this is coming off of 2 weeks of some of the biggest pains in my entire life, passing a kidney stone, my favorite TV show being cancelled without any possible replacement for the first time in 18 years, and of course having my laptop being stolen. Yet in spite of all of this, I'm in a surprisingly good mood right now.

I used to think that bloggers seemed to post about ridiculous amounts of suffering in their lives. Back then I assumed that this was simply due to exaggeration and making the sorrow up out of thin air. Now I have a completely new theory. Owning a blog causes suffering.
Anybody who has been glancing at my blog on a regular basis knows that particularly the last year of my life has been filled with suffering. Horrible things seem to keep happening to me, usually without any sort of good reason. What is the most recent horrific thing that has happened to me? Yesterday, my laptop was stolen.
