An update

So, I didn’t mean to leave everyone hanging with regard to the Sony/Jeopardy/Ken Jennings situation, but these kinds of things are often not well suited to be discussed in public until certain issues have been decided/settled/etc. I still can’t say too much about it, but Sony and I have retreated to our respective corners, both a little battered and bruised and unwilling to come out for another round. I wish it could have ended better for both parties…this thing blew up at a really bad time for me and made my life a living hell for about a week and Sony probably didn’t enjoy getting dragged through the mud as much as they were. Would have been nice to find a solution that was mutally beneficial, but it’s hard to do so when legal proceedings are involved.

In a completely unrelated matter *cough*, for those of you who were kind enough to offer me financial support in this matter, you may want to think about giving some money to the EFF:

[The Electronic Frontier Foundation] was created to defend our rights to think, speak, and share our ideas, thoughts, and needs using new technologies, such as the Internet and the World Wide Web. EFF is the first to identify threats to our basic rights online and to advocate on behalf of free expression in the digital age.

I obviously believe that what the EFF does is extremely important and I’m grateful to them for doing so much on our behalf. Now, go give ‘em a cuddle.
