This often brings to mind issues around tax status, adoption, hospital rights, etc. But it is also preventing us from being counted in the census. Gay marriage is legal now in three states, and not a single one will show up in the 2010 Census.<br /><br />The U.S. Census Bureau will <strong>actively edit</strong> the responses of same-sex couples on the 2010 Census, classifying all legally married same-sex couples as "unmarried partners." <br /><br />Last year it was announced that they won't count legally recognized same-sex marriages. They plan to actually go line by line erasing our relationships -- even legally recognized marriages in Massachusetts, Connecticut, California, and Iowa.<br /><br />What can you do?

Don't believe me? Check out the recently launched "<a href="http://celebwitter.com/">Celebwitter</a>" -- a Twitter portal of only celebrity updates.<br /><br />As was predicted many moons ago, with the celebrities come the masses; and Twitter has (no, I won't say jumped the shark) exploded over the last couple of months.

Check their tweets with TwitPics and see for yourself.<br /><br />And it's not just the celebrities who are benefiting.

People who sign up and only follow celebrity accounts don't get the full value (i.e. 2-way communication) of Twitter. But that's a whole other post...</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 51, 102);font-size:85%;" ><span style="font-weight: bold;">UPDATE 3/12/09:</span> As it turns out, Dave Winer wrote that "whole other post" the very next day. <a href="http://www.scripting.com/stories/2009/03/12/whyItsTimeToBreakOutOfTwit.html">"Why it's time to break out of Twitter."</a></span><br /><br />I don't have recent metrics, but I think this very unofficial data speaks for itself. Twitter is indeed going mainstream, and we're about to see a sea change in behavior, etiquette, spam, and everything else that comes with a new technology being adopted by the masses.hillaryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05993463642376296756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5001604.post-6523509011576615752009-02-25T15:36:00.000-08:002009-02-25T16:13:27.958-08:00/Ground : DIYtraffic - realtime traffic alertsMy latest post at <a href="http://stoweboyd.com/ground">/Ground</a> -- <a href="http://www.stoweboyd.com/ground/2009/02/diytraffic-realtime-traffic-alerts.html">DIYtraffic - realtime traffic alerts</a><br /><br /><blockquote>The good folks at <a href="http://diycity.org">DIYcity</a> have just unleashed <a href="http://diycity.org/diytraffic-realtime-traffic-alerts">DIYtraffic</a> on the world.<br /><br />SMS traffic updates have existed for a while, but each locality uses its own system and has its own standards.

In 2008, the Castro Camera Store, where Harvey Milk lived and worked in the late 1970's, was recreated at the same address for Gus Van Sant's film MILK.<br /><br /><blockquote>For me, the joy of my films is found in the poetry of the static image — in the experience of time passing on film, undistracted by plot, actors, dialogue and other narrative conventions. An internal drama is evoked in the sensitivities of each viewer who is open to the subtleties of these mundane shots that are almost bereft of movement and sound. So quiet, so still. All the better to showcase the range of emotions evoked by Harvey Milk’s words.<br /><br />The audio track is an edited down version of the 13-minute audio-cassette that Harvey Milk recorded in his camera shop on the evening of Friday, November 18, 1977 (a few weeks after his election to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors which made him the first openly gay elected official in America). Labeled simply: “In-Case” the tape was to be played, “in the event of my death by assassination.”</blockquote><br /><br />The audio is the same 5-6 minutes that can be found all over YouTube, but is better quality, and is all the more moving against the backdrop of the set.hillaryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05993463642376296756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5001604.post-74599097383557427592008-12-04T15:56:00.001-08:002008-12-16T05:37:58.284-08:00Everyone's already seen it, but I wanted to blog it for posterity's sake.I can't say it any better than Perez Hilton did (never thought I'd type those words!).<br /><br /><blockquote><h3>The Gays Doing What They Do Best</h3><br />Fighting inequality and homophobia with….song and dance!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.funnyordie.com/videos/c0cf508ff8/prop-8-the-musical-starring-jack-black-john-c-reilly-and-many-more-from-fod-team-jack-black-craig-robinson-john-c-reilly-and-rashida-jones">Click here to watch Prop 8, The Musical!</a>, featuring an all-star cast that includes Margaret Cho, Andy Richter, Maya Rudolph, John C.

As soon as I follow up with you all via email, I hope to put together a post listing your names and giving you the thanks you deserve. <br /><br />We were close. But unfortunately, surprisingly low voter turnout (50% compared with 64% nationally)* and the ugly fear that children would suddenly be taught about homosexuality in the classroom created the perfect storm for this hateful thing to pass. <span style="font-style:italic;">Edited to add: turns out low voter turnout is no excuse. CA was in line with the rest of the country at around 64%. However, surprisingly high turnout of other minority groups is a popular scapegoat...</span><br /><br />I decided not to pay much attention to the returns regarding Prop 8 Tuesday night -- fearing the worst after the <a href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/11/03/google-may-hate-prop-8-but-that-doesnt-mean-they-wont-serve-ads-supporting-it/all-comments/#comments">kerfuffle on TechCrunch</a> on Monday (search that page for "hillary" and you'll see what I mean) -- choosing instead to get totally swept up in the drama, emotion, and history of electing our first African-American President. It was an <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mistylwhite/sets/72157608715965567/">amazing</a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mistylwhite/3008281465/">night</a>. I laughed, I cried, I hooted and hollered, and I got a bit drunk. :)<br /><br />However, Wednesday and Thursday were a different story. I still welled up a couple times when I saw all the "Yes, He Did" headlines, but the joy was tempered with a deep and profound hurt. <span style="font-weight:bold;">I'm sad.</span> At In-N-Out Burger last night I was putting little green checkmarks and red Xs over peoples heads: Do you think I'm disgusting? How about you? <span style="font-weight:bold;">I'm pissed.</span> I've had some of the same hateful thoughts that I'm sure people have had about me. And it stings that there's so much activity in the wake of Prop 8's passage. Where was this urgency last week? Why were we all so complacent, so sure that there was "no way in hell" it could succeed?<br /><br />But all that will pass. Even just 24 hours later I'm again full of hope, and thankful that I live in a place like San Francisco and am surrounded by friends and family and coworkers that feel the need and take the time to reach out and say, "You are not alone." The vigil last night and the march through San Francisco tonight were enough to put a smile back on my face, and fill me not only with hope, but with the will to fight.<br /><br />And so, I give you my latest blog comment. Some background: I was <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mistylwhite/3008281465/">searching twitter for "Prop 8"</a> and ended up clicking through to a lot of the links. I felt that this post deserved a response -- <a href="http://blog.erichayes.net/2008/11/07/there-downside-prop-8#comment-2">"Is there a downside to Prop 8?"</a><br /><br /><blockquote>Hi there. I stumbled across your post via twitter, and thought I'd take a minute to reply to a few things.<br /><br />First off (so you know where I'm coming from), I'm gay and legally married thanks to the window of opportunity between the Supreme Court decision and the passage of Prop 8.<br /><br />I am not going to try to convince you that I'm just as normal as you because I know that's a dead end. I will also refrain from pointing out the obvious biblical passages that fundamentalists choose to ignore because they acknowledge that they make no sense in today's society. Instead, I'll try to point out a couple of flaws in your argument.<br /><br /><cite>Even if I weren't a Christian, I would be opposed to the notion that homosexuality might be taught in schools.</cite><br /><br /><strong>Fact:</strong> Not one word in Prop 8 mentions education. And no child can be forced, against the will of their parents, to be taught anything about health and family issues at school. California law prohibits it.<br /><br />California’s top educators including Superintendent of Schools Jack O’Connell and California Teachers all agree: Prop 8 has nothing to do with education and the idea that "homosexuality might be taught in schools" is ridiculous.<br /><br /><cite>Also, it wasn't right for a minority to push their agenda on the majority.</cite><br /><br />I don't quite understand what agenda you mean. The proponents of Prop 8 were the one with the agenda. We simply wanted people to vote no -- to say no to a bill that would use state law to single out one group of Californians to be treated differently. No matter what your faith, <strong>equality under the law is a fundamental constitutional guarantee</strong>.<br /><br />Would you have supported a bill that erased the right to marry for atheists? For Muslims? For African-Americans? After all, it was just a short 40 years ago that it was illegal for whites and blacks to marry -- the common thought was that interracial relationships were deviant, unnatural and disgusting.<br /><br />Again, I realize that you and I fundamentally disagree. But I simply ask you to think about what has happened: <br /><br />Just over half of Californians who went to the polls on Tuesday (which represent less than half of all Californians) were able to <strong>amend the Constitution</strong> and strip away rights from a tiny minority. It doesn't matter if homosexuality is a "choice;" the CA Supreme Court has designated us a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suspect_class">suspect class</a> (groups which meet a series of criteria suggesting they are likely the subject of discrimination) just like the federal Supreme Court recognizes race, national origin, religion, and alienage. Prop 8 is discriminatory at its very core, and I hope that you can take a step back and recognize that.<br /></blockquote><br /><br />So this is my fight for now. Brick by brick, tweet by tweet, <a href="http://www.noonprop8.com/events">march</a> by <a href="http://queersunited.blogspot.com/2008/11/listing-of-prop-8-protests-and-rallies.html">march</a> I suppose. Not sure where it will lead, but it felt good to write about it tonight.

Specifically, this is the proposed argument for voting yes on Prop 8; however, I've highlighted certain sections and replaced "gay" or "same-sex" with "interracial" (or otherwise appropriate language). <br /><em>Edited to add: This is simply to illustrate that this same bill would be overwhelmingly viewed as unjust and wrong if any other minority was inserted in place of "gay". We can see from history that this proposition on its face is wrong.</em><br /><br />I am stunned by the widespread support for a bill that would use state law to single out one group of Californians to be treated differently. I'll say it again: it's not about religion, morality, or even gay marriage -- it's about fear.<br /><br />Give this a read and then try to tell me that passing Prop 8 is the right thing to do:<br /><br /><blockquote>Proposition 8 is simple and straightforward. It contains the same 14 words that were previously approved in 2000 by over 61% of California voters: <span style="background:#FFFAAE">“Only marriage between a man and a woman <span style="font-weight:bold;">of the same race</span> is valid or recognized in California.”</span><br /><br />Because four activist judges in San Francisco wrongly overturned the people’s vote, we need to pass this measure as a constitutional amendment to <span style="background:#FFFAAE">RESTORE THE DEFINITION OF MARRIAGE as a man and a woman <span style="font-weight:bold;">of the same race</span>.</span><br /><br /><span style="background:#FFFAAE">Proposition 8 is about preserving marriage; it’s not an attack on the <span style="font-weight:bold;">interracial</span> lifestyle. Proposition 8 doesn’t take away any rights or benefits of <span style="font-weight:bold;">interracial</span> domestic partnerships.</span> Under California law, “domestic partners shall have the same rights, protections, and benefits” as married spouses. (Family Code § 297.5.) There are NO exceptions. Proposition 8 WILL NOT change this.<br /><br />YES on Proposition 8 does three simple things:<br /><br />It restores the definition of marriage to what the vast majority of California voters already approved and human history has understood marriage to be.<br /><br />It overturns the outrageous decision of four activist Supreme Court judges who ignored the will of the people.<br /><br /><span style="background:#FFFAAE">It protects our children from being taught in public schools that “<span style="font-weight:bold;">interracial</span> marriage” is the same as traditional marriage.</span><br /><br />Proposition 8 protects marriage as an essential institution of society. While death, divorce, or other circumstances may prevent the ideal, <span style="background:#FFFAAE">the best situation for a child is to be raised by a married mother and father <span style="font-weight:bold;">of the same race</span>.</span><br /><br />The narrow decision of the California Supreme Court isn’t just about “live and let live.” State law may require teachers to instruct children as young as kindergarteners about marriage. (Education Code § 51890.) <span style="background:#FFFAAE">If the <span style="font-weight:bold;">interracial</span> marriage ruling is not overturned, TEACHERS COULD BE REQUIRED to teach young children there is no difference between <span style="font-weight:bold;">interracial</span> marriage and traditional marriage.</span><br /><br /><span style="background:#FFFAAE">We should not accept a court decision that may result in public schools teaching our kids that <span style="font-weight:bold;">interracial</span> marriage is okay.</span> That is an issue for parents to discuss with their children according to their own values and beliefs. It shouldn’t be forced on us against our will.<br /><br />Some will try to tell you that Proposition 8 takes away legal rights of gay domestic partnerships. That is false. <span style="background:#FFFAAE">Proposition 8 DOES NOT take away any of those rights and does not interfere with <span style="font-weight:bold;">interracial couples</span> living the lifestyle they choose.</span><br /><br /><span style="background:#FFFAAE">However, while <span style="font-weight:bold;">interracial couples</span> have the right to their private lives, they do not have the right to redefine marriage for everyone else.</span><br /><br /><span style="background:#FFFAAE">CALIFORNIANS HAVE NEVER VOTED FOR <span style="font-weight:bold;">INTERRACIAL</span> MARRIAGE. If <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">gay</span> activists want to legalize <span style="font-weight:bold;">interracial</span> marriage, they should put it on the ballot.</span> Instead, they have gone behind the backs of voters and convinced four activist judges in San Francisco to redefine marriage for the rest of society. That is the wrong approach.<br /><br />Voting YES on Proposition 8 RESTORES the definition of marriage that was approved by over 61% of voters. Voting YES overturns the decision of four activist judges. Voting YES protects our children.<br /><br />Please vote YES on Proposition 8 to RESTORE the meaning of marriage.</blockquote><br /><br />By the way, this whole "activist judges" thing makes me sick, and I'm so sad that the argument for this proposition hinges on that very phrase. Judges aren't activists. They interpret the law, according to the Constitution. We've seen the judicial system get more and more politicized over the last 30 years, and it's sickening. The fact that Roe v Wade is in jeopardy of being overturned if a Republican is the one who gets to make the appointment is all the proof we need.<br /><br />Consider this: it was a majority conservative/Republican Supreme Court that ruled on Roe v. Wade. <span style="font-weight:bold;">It wasn't a Democrat or Republican wedge issue; it was a Constitutional issue.</span><br /><br />I hope and pray that the majority of Californians decide to face the future and not the past. No on Prop 8.<br /><br /><blockquote>This is a parody of, and response to, the video called "YES on Proposition 8 (Prop 8) your rights".<br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/2H3kxDFgmu8&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/2H3kxDFgmu8&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /></blockquote><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">UPDATE #2: since the wife is a lawyer, I thought some of you might enjoy a trip down memory (err, history) lane.</span><br /><br /><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plessy_v._Ferguson">Plessy v.

That is forty-one years ago. If there were a Proposition 8 41 years ago, Asians, blacks, Samoans, and Hispanics I saw with a Yes on 8 signs this weekend, it would have been about you. Interracial marriage was banned because <a href="http://hnn.us/articles/4708.html">it was considered unnatural, it was thought to be “against God’s will,” and it constituted illicit sex</a>.

Keep spreading the word, and (Californians) don't forget to vote No On Prop 8!<br /><br /><strong>UPDATE #3: Going strong, but now is the final push.</strong><br /><br />No On 8 is trying to raise $3 million in these final days to compete with the millions raised by the proponents of the proposition. <a href="http://tr.im/div">If you can spare another $5 or more, now is the time.</a> <br /><br />We've raised over $1500 so far and are aiming for an even $2000. Thank you all so much for the outpouring of support (and cash!).hillaryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05993463642376296756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5001604.post-46426010580744876022008-10-09T22:50:00.000-07:002008-10-09T22:59:37.756-07:00Worst President ever? Or the failure of conservatism?<a href="http://rachel.msnbc.com/">Rachel Maddow</a> highlights four events during the tenure of Bush's eight-year term so bad that even one of them could have deemed his presidency an abject failure. Her guest Thomas Frank, author of "<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Wrecking-Crew-How-Conservatives-Rule/dp/0805079882">The Wrecking Crew</a>," states that Bush is not personally responsible (nor are his policies) for these failures, but rather that conservatism has failed.<br /><br /><blockquote>It's judgment day for the conservative philosophy of governing.</blockquote><br /><br /><iframe height="339" width="425" src="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22425001/vp/26844328#26844328" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe>hillaryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05993463642376296756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5001604.post-72069251056778916802008-10-07T23:26:00.000-07:002008-10-07T23:46:53.097-07:00Ads Off @ Ma.gnoliaWith their new <a href="http://ma.gnolia.com/fustebop">Ads Off subscriptions</a>, the gang at Ma.gnolia continue to "pay it forward" and talk the talk when it comes to community and a social experience.<br /><br />No matter which subscription you choose (there are <a href="http://ma.gnolia.com/fustebop">two plans</a>) you extend the ad-free experience to others interested in what you're doing on Ma.gnolia. So you can feel free to share your profile and your bookmarks with others and they, too, will have an ad-free experience.<br /><br /><blockquote><span style="font-weight:bold;">We think this offering is a 3-way win</span><br /><br />A win for Ma.gnolia, with affordable support that goes right back into R&D. We’re not buying jets or writing our own browser here.<br /><br />A win for people interested in your links, and your group members win with a more focussed Ma.gnolia experience.<br /><br />A win for you, with a benefit that works for you on every Ma.gnolia page, for a full year, costing at most about a week’s worth of lattes. And unlike a week’s worth of lattes, Ads Off has no calories.<br /><br /><a href="http://ma.gnolia.com/blog/2008/10/07/ads-on-and-ads-off">http://ma.gnolia.com/blog/2008/10/07/ads-on-and-ads-off</a></blockquote><br /><br />Our <a href="http://www.nicusa.com/html/nic/partners/index.html">government partners</a> are often hesitant to use ad-based services since they don't want constituents to think they are endorsing any particular products or services. If YouTube offered a subscription service that would essentially remove all the chaff from your profile and video pages, I'm confident it would be a major success.<br /><br />Kudos to Ma.gnolia for once again thinking outside of the box. Here's hoping more services start thinking this way.hillaryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05993463642376296756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5001604.post-2466329655603178972008-07-14T13:49:00.000-07:002008-07-15T01:09:59.646-07:00Vote for the Social Media Club's 42nd Board MemberConfession, the title of this post is a little misleading. It should probably say, "<a href="http://tinyurl.com/smc42vote">Vote for ME to be the SMC's 42nd Board Member</a>."<br /><br />For anyone following the link from the <a href="http://www.socialmediaclub.org/2008/07/14/vote-for-the-42nd-interim-board-member/">SMC post</a>, I wanted to provide a bit of background. (I'll flush this out tonight, as I only have about five minutes to write this now.)<br /><br />About me:<br /><br />I am currently the Director of Integrated Marketing at <a href="http://nicusa.com/">NIC Inc.</a> -- the leading provider of eGovernment portals and services in the nation (if not the world). I have worked with NIC since 1997 as a web designer, art director, marketing manager, and now as a web 2.0 and social media evangelist. NIC builds online services and web sites for <a href="http://www.nicusa.com/html/nic/portals/index.html">21 state governments</a> (and 100s of local governments within our partner states).<br /><br />During my stint as a consultant and freelancer, I also created <a href="http://mypollingplace.com/">MyPollingPlace.com</a> for the People for the American Way -- a national online polling place finder -- during the 2004 presidential election. The site is now offline, but was an enormous success (almost "too successful," as we were adding additional servers all day).<br /><br />I'm passionate about social media in general, but primarily its application to government and government services. If you're curious, you can find me on most social networks under the username "<a href="http://claimid.com/quepol">quepol</a>".<br /><br /><a href="http://tinyurl.com/smc42vote">Go vote</a> -- there are 37 other names on the list, too. <a href="http://tinyurl.com/smc42vote">Just vote!</a>hillaryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05993463642376296756noreply@blogger.com
