(1:08:29 PM) snail of DEATH: So. On facebook you can now have a username. It obv should be simple so you can tell people "go find X" to find you. So my name is out because I'd have to explain how to spell it. So I need like. One word, or something otherwise memorable, that is not already taken
(1:08:47 PM) calinocoto: why not just emosnail?
(1:09:13 PM) snail of DEATH: ugh no I'd change that too if emosnail wasn't already so well known

(1:02:44 PM) snail of DEATH: I want to go for like a random word like

(1:19:04 PM) snail of DEATH: well what's another line I can go down in thesaurus to find something apt? I looked up all the entries under deviousness and all the entries under shenanigans so far
(1:19:52 PM) calinocoto: why not just shenanigans?
(1:21:10 PM) snail of DEATH: shenanigans I would have been all about, but its def taken
(1:21:24 PM) calinocoto: poop
(1:21:37 PM) snail of DEATH: hmm I could do sometihng like 321shenanigans
(1:21:40 PM) snail of DEATH: lets see if its taken
(1:22:01 PM) calinocoto: oh no, numbers are stupid
(1:22:06 PM) calinocoto: i dont' like numbers in a url
(1:22:38 PM) snail of DEATH: yeah I think it's dumb if you have to stick like 1 on the end or esp if you put a totally random number at the end
(1:22:45 PM) snail of DEATH: but 321shenanigans is like, a countdown
(1:23:02 PM) calinocoto: oh, that's true

***EDIT TO ADD:
(1:54:07 PM) calinocoto: i was thinking of just putting mine puppy
(1:54:12 PM) calinocoto: the problem is that i like kittens, too
(1:54:16 PM) snail of DEATH: hahahaha
(1:54:25 PM) calinocoto: it's a real dilemma!
(1:54:27 PM) snail of DEATH: I'm gonna have to edit to add that to my entry
(1:54:28 PM) snail of DEATH: :D
(1:54:31 PM) calinocoto: lol
(1:54:35 PM) calinocoto: my crises on display for the world


And so, before I commit to an apparently unchangeable username, anyone have any ideas??? (am currently leaning towards 321shenanigans, but figure I'll give it an hour or two to see if I can come up with something better -- if you steal it in the mean time I will killorize you!)

   So awhile ago I had created a facebook group dedicated to the game of Assassins. Nearly a year later there were still only six members in it because I never got around to promoting it and in the dark days before the Facebook Newsfeed things tended to go unnoticed on Facebook unless you put effort into them.
   Well this morning I finally got around to sending facebook invites to a number of my friends. Some 12 hours later, 9 more of my friends have joined, and due to their joining being echoed on their friends' newsfeeds, 13 more people joined bringing membership up to 28.
   I think I'll declare an actual physical meeting for next week. I will do this declaring tomorrow.

   (And yes, for those who don't remember (& the 95% of you who weren't around back then) thats ASUCD Senator Jon Avidor & then-President Tiqula Bledsoe in the picture to the left here.)


Seceding from the Union
In a special operation today Emosnail agents obtained photographs of a draft bill that would remove ASUCD from the UC umbrella organization UCSA. In addition to the picture at right, a close up where the writing is more legible can be found here.


Judicial Adventures
   I thought I'd highlight what we actually do on the ASUCD Supreme Court by posting a general summary of the last two meetings.

   Last week ExpandOn the Succession of the Chief Justice )



   This Week Vice Chief Joe Harney was unable to be present so senior justice Tim Coady presided. We primarily discussed the first case of several that would make up the current scandal at Berkeley -- ASUC vs. Student Action Executive Slate. Basically it regarded whether or not chalking done before voting started that remained near polling locations on election day despite the Elections Chair having advised all candidates they needed to remove the chalkings could be considered "active and knowing campaigning."
   So first I read them the relevant ASUC Berkeley bylaws and the evidence, and we discussed it. Then I read them the most relevant quotations from the plaintiff / defendant arguments (I particularly liked "[Defendant] Mr. Vakil states that “the act of chalking, which is the action of campaigning via chalking (the transfer of potential energy into kinetic energy with the intent of garnering votes) occurs at the time the chalk is transferred to the pavement.") and we discussed it further. Then I read the largest concurring opinion (basically the Berkeley Opinion consisted of a short general part they all agreed on, and then every justice was part of a different concurring opinion) and we discussed our thoughts on their findings. As the whole thing was rather complicated (as evidenced by the disagreement among the ASUC Berkeley justices) we didn't vote on a final conclusion.
   Altogether I think we all found the exercise very useful and look forward, time permitting, to going over previous cases of our own or other such things in the future.

   So the facebook management has recognized the alarm expressed by many over their new news feed feature, and I am very relieved that they didn't gun it, because I think its pretty awesome. Its like a friends-list for facebook.
   Anyway, all of you who are so alarmed by your friends knowing what you're doing on facebook, what is it you all have to hide? Terrorists all of you!! I kid I kid (but not about it being awesome).
   It finally makes this "social networking" thing relevant. Whereas before if one wanted to know what a friend was up to they'd have to scrutinize their page for things that were different since last time they scrutinized it ... which is kind of creepy if not way too time consuming for anyone without an unhealthy obsession to actually do. Now however, one can easily glance at the news feed of what their friends are up to.
   Concerned about having everyone and their brother updated on what you're doing? Maybe you shouldn't have "friended" everyone and a half!!


   In other news, I have determined that this is the most awesome video ever.


   Also, this is the most fucked up tale of slutbaggery ever.


   In bee related news, our competitors continue to drop like flies, with a competitor company calling us last week to proposition us to buy them out. Not in any hurry however, Dave's postponing meeting with their owner for a two day fishing trip down in San Diego


   And speaking of San Diego, I'll be heading down there this evening to hang out with my favourite Kristy & co.


Bob, going up
