  • Coolest Last Name

    I get some variant of, “You have the coolest last name,” from many strangers. Freelove sounds hippie, care free, and … well… loving. Its nice, you know? Marriage proposals over how cool it is… That is new. Sharon: Is “Freelove” really your name? Ezra: Yes, it is. Sharon: Can I marry you? About a year…

  • Hi, Some people work in positions requiring high amounts of near constant contact. There is technology for this. One popular is the Blackberry which allows the user to no longer sit in front of the computer all the time. If more than one person is capable of doing the job you do, then set up…

  • I have been looking to use Prism. A gotcha I hit was it balked at any site using a self-signed SSL certificate. A recommendation was to copy the cert8.db file from a Firefox  profile to a Prism profile. This actually worked. Locating it is a bit of a pain in the ass on Windows. It…

Blackboard very much has been mum on the subject. I do not recall a blog of a single Blackboard supporter…

  • Near Full Moon, originally uploaded by Ezra F. From back on Feb 18th. This was a practice shot for the Lunar Eclipse which I didn’t shoot. I saw clouds rolling in and assumed the shoot was a bust. Turns out it was fairly clear. 🙂

  • Almost all the people I know on LJ seem to post 90% of their stuff either Friends Only or custom protected lists. Mine are a mixed bag. My default used to be Friends Only, but I have shifted back to Public. I like my photos to be public. Not sure about much else.

  • Huh… A nearby school system plans to segregate sexes.The administrators say the research they have reviewed says boys and girls learn better in different environments: 1) Girls need quiet time. 2) Boys need to express themselves. Probably the Hawthorne Effect will cause scores to increase for the first couple years. 😀 So they will stick…
