Project Insomnia

Project Insomnia is many things, but in this context it is simply a "braindump" of whatever I happen to be thinking/reading/watching/doing at the moment. Parental guidance suggested.

Adventures in Jury Duty

Got a summons to jury duty, to report today at 12:45 in South San Francisco. Of course the Redwood City complex would be much better for me--ten minutes away instead of 35--but due to some bullshit bureaucratic nonsense they can't assign people to the court closest to where they live.

Arrived 30 minutes early (good planning) and remembered to leave my Leatherman in the car. At the security checkpoint I had to take off my belt, but I could leave my boots on. Found the jury assembly room and woke up the machine to find that YES, the San Mateo County court system is at least in the 21st century in this regard--open wireless access point.

So now I'm hanging out in the jury assembly room listening to people blabbing on the cellphones. I of course set the Treo to silent mode, being the kind and considerate person that I am.

More later if anything interesting happens.
