samling:
gee whiz, you're not having a good go of things, are you? *hug*
electric:
yay for sorin!
merritt:
Merry Christmas!
rickroyal:
I do hope your Christmas was merry.
No white Christmas here, so no danger of having to dig out the car. Apparently it only snows on Christmas ~12% of the time in my area.

I've resisted the whole big stereo system / HDTV / home theater bandwagon for a long time now. The last "stereo" I owned was in high school, and that was just a basic all in one bookshelf thing. Since then, I've been listening to music and watching movies on my computer, which hasn't been bad at all, really. I've generally preferred to have bookshelves instead...

Three of us at work have birthdays one after the other. One of these people was pointing out to me that, if you count in hex, I just turned 20.
You know you're starting to feel old when you count your age in base-16.

Ever have one of those days where you can't even make half decent Mac & Cheese?
Work was spent unproductively phone screening and interviewing non-candidates.
The DVD drive in my Mac Mini has decided it would rather be a circular saw. This would be the second drive in 6 months to undertake this change of function. (Maybe it's a hint I should watch better movies?)...

Ah, the irony of your tagline. 
It's official: Barak Obama is our next president!
This is the first election I've really put my energy, time, and money into. Obama is the first candidate in my adult life that has inspired such hope and unity in general, and inspired me personally to really get involved.
I was nervous about how this election would go. I got more and more excited as the...

Good Rolling Stone article to send to any republican friends: Make Believe Maverick: The Real John McCain
Goes to show how stupid this country still is that ~44% of voters polled support this hothead power-obsessed egomaniac.

It really annoys me that political "reporting" these days is nothing more than quotes from representatives of both campaigns. How about some fact checking instead of just spreading he-said, they-said nonsense?
I would really like to see both candidates held to a standard of honesty in their claims about each other and their political histories. Apparently that's too much work for reporters to be bothered...

Reason has for the moment prevailed in Congress with the defeat of the $700 billion bailout bill. Sadly, I'm sure that won't last long.
So, let's see here: Two weeks ago, there was some unease in the markets, but they were generally stable. Bush and Paulson make a big announcement about how we're on the verge of financial collapse, and how we have to give...

Any true fiscal conservative with half a brain needs to be hanging an Obama sign in their window and sending in their campaign contribution.
Bush and our poor excuse for a Fed and Treasury are in the process of trying to increase the national debt by about 1.1 trillion, or about 18%, in just 3 months. That's money that the government owes to other world...
