syndicated feed   
22:29 | 24.06.06
  So I'd really rather have a blog than an lj (although I still hate the word blog, I also know that even if I were to call it something intelligent, like Internet Super Highway Web Spider Journal Log Diary, everyone else would just call it a blog anyway). So if you insist on using livejournal, I've created a syndicated user for my blog. I figure, if Bob Zygala can do it, so can I, even if my name isn't as cool. The username is:

[info]al_rtfo_org

So if you add it to your friends page, whenever I update my blog you'll know instantly four hours later when lj decides to scrape again.

  Dear your friends page,

I've accepted a job at amazon.com, and I am moving to Seattle in a month.
Thought I'd keep you posted.

Sincerely,

political quiz   
13:51 | 23.09.05
  I don't usually post quiz results (or post at all, for that matter), but I figured most people would probably be suprised, so it was worth posting:

You are a

Social Liberal
(71% permissive)

and an...

Economic Conservative
(78% permissive)

You are best described as a:

Libertarian

Dear livejournal   
14:48 | 18.08.05
  Today I got on the scale and came up at 199 lbs. I can't remember the last time I weighed less than 200 pounds (in the picture of me & the car, I weighed over 240). So yay. I figured this was significant enough to warrant a post.

Also I moved at some point (June to be exact), I now live in Medford, MA. If you don't know where that is, it's pretty much Boston (I'm about 4 miles from down town).
