Flight!

Totally lost track of time again.

There was a nice little slice of moon this evening. The clouds will not be thick enough to obscure it for the next several nights, so I can watch it grow. December has the best moons, and currently it has company, as Venus and Jupiter will be in the western sky each evening for the next few nights. One good thing about winter's lateness this year is that I'll be able to spend more time outside enjoying the sight with minimal discomfort.

Link: An interesting (if sometimes overwrought) article about Internet trolls in the New York Times Magazine. It was published last August, but somehow I missed it. One of LJ's favorite (if that's the right word) trolls, Jason Fortuny (whose LJ user name I've forgotten— no, really), got interviewed for it, and gets a few paragraphs. I recall seeing, and sometimes enjoying, Jason's comments in various LJ communities in the past, but haven't seen him around lately. Maybe he's gone on to bigger things, now that LJ is so long past its days of being the hot kid on the Internets. Or maybe it's only that I'm spending way less time looking at LJ communities. Because I'm still the hot semi-hottish older guy on the Internets.

Yo, trolls! 'Sup?

if i knew fortuny's LJ name, i'd go look at him and then run away in total fear. trolling is so far beyond anything i'd do that it leaves me sort of shaking my head in dismay.

i'm glad all of a sudden that i went friends-only!

december has the best moons? i'll try to get outside to look this month.

I just remembered that his LJ name is rfjason. Stuff about him is all over the Internets, and people have even posted dueling definitions of him at Urban Dictionary. He uses the same name for his personal web site, and for his small Flickr account, where there's a picture that's probably of him, and also a picture of a cute kitty.

well, now people know not only his real name but also where he lives. kinda scary to be him. no wonder he's ready to run. thanks for the info and the link!

(speaking of the sky for a moment, i was very disappointed by the overcast here during that harmonic convergence or whatever it was. i saw the conjunction only in photos. alas.)
