VeriSign wants to control the .COM registry forever.
VeriSign has somehow persuaded ICANN to propose a new contract where VeriSign will be the permanent and unregulated controller of the .COM registry. VeriSign would also get the right of presumptive renewal. This means when the new contract for the .COM registry comes up for renewal in 2012, it won’t be put out for bid – like the .NET contract was in 2005 – instead it will simply renew in VeriSign’s favor.
Get your coat. Get your wallet. Get your keys. Go to your car. Drive to a bookstore. Buy a book called "Eragon" and another book called "Eldest" by Christopher Paolini.

So the regionals tournament was today @ Firehouse Grille for Capital Poker League. I didn't qualify for the tournament but there was a small 20 person side tournament of Omaha poker. I won. Yay me.
A friend of mine who lives in a building near me, Meghan, won 2nd place in the main tournament and got a video ipod 30gb. First place was Josh who won the $1000.

"A Bike Cop pulled me over and did the typical, "Do you know why I pulled you over?"
"Yeah," I replied, "your aggro radius was too big."
He looked at me for a second as we both took in what I just said. I'm thinking "OMG! Pnwd, for sure!"
Finally the Cop said, "You should have stealthed" and I saw the tiniest smile. Thank Orion the Cop is my age!
"Can't stealth," I said, "Hunter. Should have Feigned." Uh oh, Cop is a Rogue. They hate Hunters.
"You know how much gold this is going to cost?" the Cop asked. Ahh $!@%, he's a Rogue alright.
"Can't I just take a decrease in faction? I can always grind for more." I replied. Whoops, community service, I thought. I just practically asked for a ticket.
But the Cop finally burst out laughing.
"Get out of here," he said, waving me on my way. "I've got noobs to pwn.""
Yet I still have the gumption to make a post before I return to my bed:
First off, there was a flash mob in San Fransisco last night who had a pillow fight.
Next, the people of Moscow are very proficient at building snowmen.
Lastly, here is a public service announcement about "the Dick":
