Nerve has an interesting article this morning about some gay Christian leathermen in Los Angeles:

This is Skip Chasey’s leather playroom. More yoga studio than dungeon, it perfectly encapsulates his multilayered identity as an openly gay Christian leatherman. The contents of the room signify no mere hobby: there is a St. Andrew’s cross with leather straps, and a “puppy” cage, big enough to contain a few crouching people. An infrared camera - not used very much, Chasey notes - is poised in the corner near the ceiling. Butt plugs and cock rings are discreetly tucked away in cabinets. For Chasey and Tim Hamilton - “Master Skip” and “Pup Tim” to each other and the leather community - the room is “sacred space.”

A pretty good read, and if nothing else, it’ll take you one step closer to having seen everything.

Overall, a not-completely-unproductive sort of day. Meeting in the morning, but managed to get some things done in the afternoon (via the expedient of closing my door and ignoring all email). Now, the fall-out from that is that I’m going to spend most of the day Friday catching up on email, but them is the breaks, I guess.

Sure, a 2.5 hour meeting isn’t the traditional way to celebrate 420, but the resulting stupefaction and glazed expression is pretty similar…

Andrew Cowie, over on the ORA LAMP site, picks up the Extreme Sysadminery meme that I caught back in June. One of these days, I am going to do something with that wiki I set up (currently overrun with Asian language spam…)

Emacs joins the tagging craze. Worth looking at for the excellent graphic alone…

Played hooky from work today (that was the reason for the Sunday work-fest). TheChild had an evaluation in the morning for the speech services that she’s been getting (she’s doing fine), and I needed to pick her up from day-care in the evening on account of TheWife having a late afternoon business meeting. Had a pretty productive afternoon catching up on mail and this and that and various other weekly review-like activities.

Interestingly, despite being at work all of yesterday, today still felt like Monday. Conclusion: the “Monday state” requires there to be other people in the office. Or something. Managed to get a thing or two done, despite the unexpected Monday-ness.

Working Sunday — into the office around 10am, and not out until after 9pm. Did take a break in there to visit a used book sale and grab some dinner with TheWife and TheChild, but aside from that, it was work work work. Now a very dull boy.

Running around in the morning, getting things together for the book group meeting in the afternoon. Book group meeting ran into the evening, so overall not a terribly productive day.

So, yesterday was Poop For Peace Day. Since Everybody Poops is currently TheChild’s favorite book, I wish we’d known about the holiday a bit more in advance. Ah well, there’s always next year…
