Ciulla's Blog

While reviewing my keyword stats, I noticed there were two hits for “pronouncing ciulla”.

My family pronounces it “chew lah” with slightly more emphasis on the “chew”.

“Don’cha mean heavy emphasis on the chew?” Fnar, fnar, fnar. Everyone’s a comedian.

Just called Representative Steve Stivers, Senator Sherrod Brown, and Senator Rob Portman to ask them, politely, to pull their heads out of their collective asses regarding SOPA and PIPA.

Representative Stivers and Senator Brown’s voice mail boxes were full.

I briefly discussed PIPA with a harried, over-worked call monkey at Senator Portman’s office who took down my contact information.

That probably put me on a list, so if I get whisked away in the middle of the night, you guys will know what happened. Thank you, NDAA.

Anyway, if you are a technologist or use technology, please let our bastions of “for the people, by the people” know that you are pissed.

Best practice for websites — have an immediately noticeable means for your readers to contact you.
