McCain is going on Jon Stewart’s Daily Show – and Stewart is soliciting questions to ask the senator… http://blog.indecision2008.com/2008/05/05/john-mccain-on-the-daily-show-this-wednesday/ I suggested a fun question comparing the Hundred Years War to Iraq just because I want to see Senator McCain’s head explode when the words “hundred” “years” and “Iraq” are used together in one sentence… Mine […]
A pretty close primary/caucus in Guam (current tally gives it to Obama by only 7 votes, there will be a recount), the delegates will be following the lucky guess prediction of two each plus super delegates. Add to each campaign a few more declaring super delegates and Obama only needs 282 of the remaining 404 […]
For Erci‘s birthday we hooked up with friends and went to Maryland’s Sheep and Wool festival. I spent the day people watching and napping under the sweet gum tree near the performing artist’s pavilion, Erci and our friends shopped the hundreds of wool vendors, craft booths, and weaving, and knitting suppliers. We gorged on lamb […]
These have to be the funniest reviews I’ve seen on Amazon yet, thanks to fyrlocc for pointing them out. Prometheus reviews of various Amazon products Prometheus must be some kind of writer.
With the change of endorsement from Joe Andrew today, Obama needs only 289 delegates to win the nomination. There are 408 pledged delegates yet to be aligned by primaries in the few remaining states and territories. Very likely that will split very close to evenly (my own prediction is that Obama gets 205 of them […]
Make an effort to listen to Jonathan Coulton‘s “First of May” from “Smoking Monkey” album, it is guaranteed to make you smile. Oh, if you are at work, use headphones; it may be NSFW in some offices.
I just wanted to take a moment to rave about Make Bookmarkable AppleScript from Doug’s AppleScripts for iTunes. I was getting annoyed that our audiobooks were getting randomly played as music when I wanted music, and a quick google search lead me to iTunes FAQ on Michael Alderete’s Weblog. I quickly downloaded Make Bookmarkable, created […]
I want an iPhone. Sprint/Nextel is allowing their North American iDen network to deteriorate slowly. I doubt it is deliberate destruction, but I suspect that as components in the network fail they just neglect to replace them. I do not know this for a fact, but call quality and signal strength have been slowly slipping […]
http://technology.newscientist.com/article/dn13777 3 May 1978, first Commercial message on the arpanet, and it pissed people off even then. You’d think marketing types would get the hint that we don’t like their crap in our inboxes… Oh wait, that’s right, some morons actually encourage spammers by buying the junk advertised.
It makes sense. People like Wright, Sharpton, Coulter, Malkin, Robertson all make their living off the polarization of different factions of the American populace. It’s their right. It also means that anyone who can reduce the polarization of these factions by bringing people together is a threat to their very livelihood. Of course they are […]
