---------------------------------------- More updates May 22nd, 2018 ---------------------------------------- That's a little depressing. After 11 days away I just wrote a long update that is substantively the same thing I wrote 11 days ago. I feel the need to amend this with some additional updates: FBI File [0] - I received my FBI results. There are no records of me in their files. I could follow up and request further research looking for me in cross-references, but I think I'm good enough with what I got. I'm still waiting for replies from the other intel orgs. (DIR) [0] FBI Files Poison Sumac [1] - It's finally gone. Holy shit that took a long time. (DIR) [1] Poison Sumac The Hobbit [2] - The boy is loving it. We haven't gotten to read it every night, but he's so excited about what's coming (I gave hints). He talks about Smaug all the time despite having not met him yet. He's excited for the giant spiders because I have horrible arachnophobia and he thinks that's funny. We're just leaving Rivendell and the Last Homely House. I can't wait for Gollum! (DIR) [2] The Hobbit Finally, I've been brainstorming some ideas and getting some good feedback from mastodon folks about a talk I want to present at Barcamp Philly this year. I'll get it all ready to go and hopefully it'll be something people want to attend. If not, I'll record it and keep it ready for 1436CON/Port 70 [3]. (DIR) [3] Port 70 -or- 1436CON
