Two Degrees of Separation

Proxy Blocked

Well, unfortunately I have to give props to whoever designed the content-filter system on my high school’s web server. Unlike middle school, they don’t block just words like “war,” “death,” and “blood.” I can’t search for “proxy” now, and someone realized that Google had a video service they needed to block as well. All I wanted to do was show everyone the new TV ads for C-VILLE weekly, a free local general-interest paper (weekly, as the name would suggest). They’re actually kind of cool - only slightly low-budget. A friend of mine showed them to me who actually knowsf one of the actors in them; I’ll embed the videos once I get home.

Speaking of which, it really is rediculous how small Charlottesville is, in terms of who you know. I mean, I don’t even live in Charlottesville, and yet I’m connected to virtually everyone. Example: I produce the weekly talk show The Sunday Morning Wake-Up Call on WNRN every Sunday, and the one day in weeks that I need a sub, the person who sits next to me in Environmental Science’s dad was on the show. Later on, a friend on mine is on a different radio talk show I used to help out with. I’ve even spoken with people on forums online that I knew in real life, and never made the connection between. I wonder how many things I’ve worked on in Charlottesville that people I know have seen or helped out with, and neither of us have any idea.

Heh, I will see you occasionally, actually. And then there was the time I was told off by David Toscano for “loitering in the Omni basement.”
