ellenmillionOkay, I don't usually sign petitions or pass them on, but this one is super important:
http://www.civic.moveon.org/save_the_internet/
It would mean that companies with huge budgets would get preferential treatment, and little sites like mine (who will probably never have the budget to compete at that level) would get low priority. When lines are busy, mine would be the site that times out, losing me business. Living in Alaska, through a gazillion switching stations to anywhere, this is particularly personal. My site's in California, but *getting* information would suddenly be a lot more predjudiced. Not cool. I protest. I sugget you protest also.
Have redesigned my LJ layout to match my new personal site, and am playing with links and products now... still have lots of content to add, but have hopes that it will be out by the end of the month. Wee!
Seriously unmotivated, but have a ton of artwork to work on. Off to do so.
