Other buttons

As if more evidence were needed that Jed is a packrat, I have a lot of buttons and pins. Not even counting all the badges from conventions attended over the past 25 years, here's some of what was in my button-bag. Note that several of these were gifts from other people; views expressed on buttons are not necessarily the views of management.

  • Anarchy: it's not the law, it's just a good idea
