I saw a funny thing on Google News today:
If you look quickly you’ll see it’s still up in the Election section of Google News.
A headline from Fox News claiming “Conservatives Begin Questioning Palin’s Heft”? A little surprising for a network that basically only reports the news that’s good for republican candidates. The url in question [...]
Are you registered to vote?
Are you sure?
There’s a great web site where you can put in your information and it will tell you whether everything is good to go with your ability to vote. Unfortunately, many people have issues on election day voting, often in discriminatory ways.

When I was climbing back down White Mountain the other weekend, at like 11,000 ft (there’s a lot of up in the down too). I found that if I pretended to be Captain Jack Sparrow, it was easier.

For those of you internet-stalking me, even thought I’ve been posting less here I have been posting stuff I’ve been listening to over on blip.fm, which is sort of like Twitter for music. Unlike my blog, my flickr, and my del.icio.us, I actually go back over the stuff I post there.
