I swear, he looks so familiar...

Why hasn't my blog been updated?

Or, look at the paper.

YES WE DID!

Congrats Barak Obama!
And, thank you John McCain, your class showed tonight, even if your audience didn't share it.

I voted

I got to my polling place at about 6:50 or so, and waited until about 7:40 to vote. In the first 40 minutes, 240 people voted ahead of me! That's normally the count by mid-late afternoon!

It, without doubt, is going to be an interesting day.

The Sony CDX-2180

Today's helpful random tidbit that Jeff couldn't find with Google:
I have a Sony CDX-2180 car radio (complete with its...get this... 1BIT-D/A converter!). Anyway, ever since I changed the battery in the car, the radio defaults to not show the clock (in case your car doesn't turn off the power to the radio with the key, apparently).

Anyway, the answer on how to fix this is to press and hold SOUND and then hit off. That toggles the display for me, anyway.

Palin only got her passport LAST YEAR?

From the NY Times:

Ms. Palin appears to have traveled very little outside the United States. In July 2007, she had to get a passport before she visited members of the Alaska National Guard stationed in Kuwait, according to her deputy communications director, Sharon Leighow. She also visited wounded troops in Germany during that trip.

You've got to be kidding me. Somehow she has foreign policy experience by just somehow being sorta close to Russia?

Its a big and diverse world out there. You can't learn that though a book or through the tee-vee. You've got to go out there and experience it. And guess what... the rest of the world isn't just like the USA, and that's a good thing. There are good things about differences. For instance, I like German beer. That's good.

But in other news of the day, she's also casually thrown out that we might have to go to war with Russia. Good grief. No wonder she's been kept from doing solo interviews.

I only pray that America doesn't accept their bold faced lies.

Concert in the Park

Concert in the Park 2008 was a great time. I took the above panorama there.
