Podcast 2 – Jim Talks About The Shootout!

1 Comment


It’s vacation time at Casa Jimmiejoe!

I talk about vacation, San Francisco, my Dad in the Air Force, and taking a 9-1-1 call in the middle of a shootout!


A podcast that dares to ask the eternal question… is anyone listening? Especially for 11 minutes and 45 seconds?

Just in case I said the wrong URL, The Trevor Project is at www.thetrevorproject.org.

Come on, admit it.  You can’t resist a hoodie like this, can you??  I didn’t think so!  Get on over to my store and check out all the goodies.  Click here, or go to the “store” tab up in the menu bar.  I’ll be adding designs and images in the near future, so keep checking back.  I’m sure you’ll find something you just can’t live without!  😉

And for all the QueerNetworks stuff you’ll need to be the hottest queer on the block, be sure and check out The Q Store too!

Latest Numbers In – Right Wing in Vapors

Leave a comment

National Survey of Sexual Health and Behavior
(NSSHB)

In a study sure to put the right wing into vapor fits, the Indiana University has released a new study putting the numbers into a range that officially expands the percentages to what we already knew.

7% of women, and 8% of men identify as LGBT.

(anybody out there understand statistics?  Do they add, to make the total 15%, or are they simply +/-8%?)

Update: The Advocate is adding them, saying 15%. (I always thought it was in that ball park.) But on the other hand, lots of comments on the Facebook page taking The Advocate to task for a math fail. So we’re back to 7.5%? That’s still a decent number, around 24,750,000 “out” LGBT Americans!

Oh, and teenagers aren’t getting it on as much as popular culture would have us think.

The Doctor Is IN

2 Comments

I’m such a geek!  And proud of it.

Well, OK. A minor geek, but still a geek nonetheless.

This computer died on me sometime last week.  I’m not really sure when, since I didn’t notice till Friday night.  Normally, it wouldn’t be a big deal to me to have a computer die (I’ve killed quite a few), but this computer is different than most.  It houses not only the Amateur Radio (Ham Radio) that you see,  it’s also a web server for my radio related pages, as well as my personal website.  When it died, those sites went dark.

OMG!

We can’t have the very important KC6YRU.NET down and unavailable to it’s myriad fans on the interwebs!  That just wouldn’t do at all.    The APRS web server that I run, along with it’s feed to and from the APRS internet servers was also down, leaving me cut off from the rest of the APRS world.  Or would have left me feeling cut off, had I noticed it earlier!  But anyway, I rolled up my sleeves, tossed the patient onto the floor, and proceeded to perform emergency surgery.  Due to an insightful before-surgery diagnosis, and after a careful transplant operation,  the patient survived.  Since the surgery was performed with such skill and ability, there was only a short recovery time, while the computer checked to make sure all it’s blocks and sectors had made it through the operation.  Satisfied that all was well (what did it expect??) it booted right up, and is now happily shoveling electrons around hither and yon, making the interweb thingy that much more a better place to be.

The Doctor is IN.

P.S.  There are a couple of parts left over.  I wonder if that matters?

Dan Savage responds to a Christian woman taking him to task about comments regarding gay children committing suicide:

I’m sorry your feelings were hurt by my comments.

No, wait. I’m not. Gay kids are dying. So let’s try to keep things in perspective: fuck your feelings.

Savage Response From Slog: A Christian woman takes Dan Savage to task for his recent comments about Christians bullying gay teens, some who commit suicide. I was listening to the radio yesterday morning and I heard your interview with Beth McDonald. I have been thinking about it a lot since then and I feel compelled to share my thoughts with you. I was saddened and frustrated with your comments regarding people of faith and their perpetuation of bulling. As some … Read More
