... My body, My temple... This temple it tilts...

First and foremost, my thoughts and wishes go out to those effected by the 9/11 tragedy. I wish you and your family the best.

That said... I watched the news for a week straight, kept up with every word for 2 weeks, had 4 million conversations... enough is enough is enough. I want to move on with my life. I hope you all can too. One last thing: CRYPTOGRAPHY IS NOT TO BLAME FOR SEPTEMBER 11. Blaming cryptography is like blaming the internet. Making cryptography illegal, watching all of our email, increased wire taps, and other violations of our constitutional rights is NOT going to make this problem go away. That would cause Americans to give up their rights and their way of life, and that's giving into everything the terrorists want. ::sigh::

Moving on. For those of you who are Jewish, Happy New Year. I was not fortunate enough to have taken time to appreciate the time for what it was due to college, but hey, that's life.

I hope everyone has received your So What! magazine by now. All I can say is FUCKING WOW!!! That was one awesome issue. I loved the two features.... totally awesome. The club had a little screw up with my account and thus I missed the first issue of the year. They are out of them now and I have 5 "metallica dollars" to do with as I wish (buy another issue, or whatever)... but after all the letters about 8:1 in the "Enter Mailman"... I'm REALLY bummed. Oh well.

College has been keeping me REALLY busy this semester. I'm usually up till 4 or 5 am doing homework... it sucks, but I'm in some cool classes. I'm taking a Robotics class which is awesome.

I'm headed to an SCA event this weekend. SCA is something I know virtually nothign about other than it's a re-enactment of Renaissance times. The particular event I'm going to is a war. Should prove very interseting. More on that next month.
