Hi everybody! Just want to weigh in on a few things:
– WI-FI TEMPERANCE BRIGADE: Definitely want to second Paul’s comment. I have respect and awe for the people who make Twit-arr, and never meant the Temperance Pledge to discount their hard work. I see the Pledge as a goofy dare more than anything else. Apologies if it comes across as mean-spirited. (And don’t think I haven’t noticed the dramatic drop-off in pledgers! I realize I am waging a losing battle against the Twitt-arr geniuses.)
– GENDER PARITY AT KARAOKE: PFT and I tried very hard to have lots of female singers. Frankly there seemed to be more men than women signing up, so we often bumped men to make way for women. We definitely want that event to feel inclusive and celebratory for everyone!
– MY UNDANCE-ABLE MASHUP MUDDLES: This is on me. I love watching Sea Monkeys dance, and I promise you this: If there’s another dance party next year, there will NEVER be a moment you don’t feel compelled to get your groove on!
I had a great time on the cruise and hope you did too. Bye for now …

WHAT IS ALL THIS TALK about USB dingle-dongles and servers and “let’s program a computer to talk to us” and “reset the Linux server to re-route a twitter proxy protocol into the chocolate fountain?”
What is wrong with you people?!?
WI-FI TEMPERANCE BRIGADE FOR LIFE, WHO’S WITH ME?Judge John Hodgman seeks disputants for high-seas justice!
Details here: http://areasofmyexpertise.com/post/17712560222/next-week-i-will-be-at-sea-and-it-occurs-to-me@sgrandys, thank you so much for your hard work. (And everyone else who’s chipping in.) Tompkins and I are very excited!
@Thalandor46, the Destroyers are pro-salad bar. We need a motto. Any ideas?
If anyone wants to join my elite team of JoCoCruiseCrazy SALAD BAR DESTROYERS, come find me at the salad bar.
PFT and I would be very grateful if someone could bring The Killers’ “All These Things That I’ve Done,” b/c that is our favorite karaoke song (independently of each other) and is the whole inspiration for our karaoke party.
Here is my official announcement about how we have too much talent on board now:

http://jococruisecrazy.com/2011/11/we-got-a-dj/Hi, my name is David Rees. I’m one of the performers on JoCoCruiseCrazy II. I organize spontaneous disco-dancing parties onboard, as well as nude snorkeling expeditions that take place on the razor’s edge of desire and madness. (Ask John Roderick.) ALSO: I am the chairman of the WI-FI TEMPERANCE BRIGADE, and will be offering complimentary Sharpie tattoos to my fellow travelers. (And maybe permanent tattoos?)
One of my job responsibilities is maintaining the Jococruisecrazy.com blog, and I’m wondering if message-board aficionados have noticed any reccurring/vexing questions about the cruise that could best addressed on the official CRUISE BLOG. Let me know, and they will be summarily addressed!
Many thanks,
Your friend,
David T. Rees
dr “at” mnftiu.cc@hemisphire, @jodythebad, and those of you in the Deep-Sea Wi-Fi Temperance Brigade — I have good news: I just spoke to the World Wide Web Committee and they told me they don’t plan on adding much content to the internet while we’re at sea. So we won’t miss much — maybe two LOLs and a few “mehs.”
This is a cool idea. I mentioned it on the cruise blog:
