I highly recommend going to see this edition of RocketBoom, covering net neutrality. With all of the rhetoric going back and forth, it is hard to not just be on the fence about this topic. I have a feeling that net neutrality is one of those things that you need to be thinking about sooner than later.

Plus, it’s just kind of hilarious the way they talk about it.

Rocketboom: Net Neutrality, June 23, 2006

Every year, many people lament Seattle Pride. This year was totally different.

It’s not that they don’t want to celebrate the fact that the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender community continues to flourish despite the challenges society throws at it. It’s just that our community doesn’t seem to get it…right. No one’s fault - these things are very expensive to put on and hard to manage. In past years, the parade went up Broadway Avenue on Capitol Hill, right through the heart of the lgbt community, and ended up in volunteer park, also in the heart of the lgbt community. That kept the parade nice and circumscribed. Anyone outside of the community would never know that 100,000 people were gathering to celebrate anything in Seattle. The parade seemed to go on for a very long time (despite the number of high quality organizations represented). And the festival…well, it seemed like a very large food court, and with the obesity epidemic in this country, is that a way to celebrate - spending money on fattening food?

This year, the parade went through downtown, the heart of the entire city. And it was packed. It ended up at Seattle Center, where there was plenty of room to spread out. The sun was shining (89 degrees with no humidity!) and people were walking around, enjoying the fountain, and a generally good time. You were drawn to it, and didn’t want to leave. There was controversy over whether the parade should have left “the gay community” and situated itself downtown. It should continue to situate itself downtown, AND this does not mean it is leaving the gay community. Let the community come celebrate with us, and then follow us back to Capitol Hill! That’s what happened.

We didn’t even have to buy fattening food to enjoy it. Two thumbs up!
