A very happy birthday to idragosani!

GTD update

I got a pack of index cards and a recipe box to start an embryonic "getting things done" plan - one thing to do per card; when task is done the card gets thrown out (or reshuffled to the back of the pack if it's something that repeats). dotheranon is giving me use of the GTD book and some templates.

Hopefully this will help me keep up with all my bajillion tiny theengs...

on a more serious note

I've been following the Knoxville shooting case and it seems to get a bit more disturbing the more I read. One source suggests it was case of domestic violence, but most sources (go to Google News for lots of 'em) focus on the shooter's hatred of liberals (and the UU's are a very liberal denomination, with a long record of supporting civil rights, desegregation, GBLTQ rights, etc).

If this hatred is the cause then pecunium is rightly calling this horror terrorism (found over @ patgreene).

I want to say I'm totally knocked off my feet by this, but I'm somehow not. Perhaps because I'm not a Unitarian and don't know anyone who was at that church and isn't all that personal for me, but more likely because it's not surprising - with all the hateful rhetoric from the right wing media, some nutcase was bound to act on it sooner or later :(
