Brian Ellin of JanRain wrote up an awesome app running on AppEngine over the past week which lets you browse the web and "Demand OpenID". Really simple site which shows a running tally of the top sites (currently Twitter and Flickr) where people want to be able to login with OpenID. It includes a dead simple bookmarklet for you to add your demand as you're browsing around.

Marshall over on ReadWriteWeb wrote about it as well; Demand.OpenID.net: A One Click Call to Action.

Some pics from the spur-of-the-moment party that sprung up in the Castro last night due to the Supreme Court descision making gay marriage legal in California.








ALSO A BURRITOSLUG

First off, a little bookkeeping: Thanks to everyone who helped me out while I was feeling bad; to S. A. Hunter, a new friend who has been unfailingly lovely; and to my ex, for getting back in touch and being entirely amiable. Very much appreciated, y'all.

Also, I updated my LJ Profile, which is slightly less of a mess now, and also includes a couple more sites. I've only done anything with Pownce and Tumblr so far, but there will some music-related stuff on my currently-empty Project Playlist and Muxtape accounts in the near-ish future.

( On with ACTUAL CONTENT. )

Overall, things are just on the good side of average lately. I haven't really been sleeping too well, and I've had some trouble with money, but asides a few instances my mood's been manageable, and I've reasonably enjoyed what I've been doing. Hopefully things will get better, or at least not get worse.

I was trying to see if I could emulate something like Java's final by changing the scope of an inheritance. I got some weird results.

Hooray for California! Same-sex couples can get married there, as well as here in MA.

I wonder if I'll get to marry both my boyfriends before I'm an ol' wrinkle-bag.

The California Supreme Court has decided: Separate is not equal. Two people of the same gender can marry.

Here's all of my comments about the decision:

It's about time. Two states down, forty-eight states and the Federal government to go.

Take care, all.

Resident Advisor, uh, advised me today of a new album by the duo Noze. I previewed it over at Beatport, and it's unlike anything I've ever heard. If you take the oompa accordian stuff that Modeselektor occasionally does, mix it with a house beat, and add about 200% more drunk, you might start getting close to what these guys sound like. It's lovely.

The standout for me right now is "Remember Love". Check it out here :

Noze - Remember Love (mediafire)

Fancy!
