Jaci (my former neighbor in Chicago) is engaged! Her fiance is Thaddeus, who is a chef in Chicago. Woo hoo!

In other news, I'm a big fan of Kenya. I first discovered this site while reading Lietz's blog on Badgers. It's catchy and JeffreyBear cute. I can't get the song out of my head.

For my policy project and policy memos for the semester I've decided to write on Voting machine security and also the restrictions on research due to the provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). Both topics are very techie and you can find lots of opinions on those on the web and also on Slashdot. Plus, it helps that I've had a friend who'd been sued by the RIAA under the provisions of the DMCA.
