My Christmas Wish List

Well it is that time of year again. This list is for my family and friends mostly but if any of you loyal readers feel an urge to lavish me with gifts, this is your template. ;)


GYROBALL!!

Gift cards for Mossberg 590 and 12 gauge ammo.

mp3 Player (supports .ogg .mp3 and flac) Does not need to have video or anything. NOT an iPod please. I like Sansa because they work better with linux and I think iPods are too trendy and overpriced. I will mostly use it snowboarding and on the boat so sports model might be good idea.

Pretty much anything from Thinkgeek.com

Nintendo DS w/ New Super Mario Bros.

Xbox 360 or Sony Playstation 3

Wacom "Bamboo Fun" Tablet


Books:

"The Fabric of Reality" By David Deutsch

"Hacking: The Art of Exploitation, 2nd Edition"

"The Best of 2600: A Hacker Odyssey"

"Elephants on Acid and Other Bizarre Experiments". By Alex Boese

Live Election Results From Google.

Election Day

Well I woke up early this morning to go vote and there was a line around the building! I waited for almost an hour before I had to leave to go to work. Hopefully the lines will be smaller this evening.

A certain someone will not shut the fuck up at work today. She is so annoying, it is very hard to be patient with her. Mostly it's because she repeats the same statement 4 or 5 times because she has nothing else to say and is desperate for anyone to listen to her. Some days I feel sorry for her, other days I feel like I want to strangle her. She can say some of the most moronic shit. Today she keeps repeating "Well I really think Obama is going to win". Well that is some cracker jack prognosticating there C****. what on earth gives you that opinion? Last time I checked you thought he would be a terrible president because, and I quote, "His name is Barack Obama!" I honestly don't think she cares who wins and I doubt she voted, she just wants some one to argue with.

The Final Countdown

Well this is it. Two more days and this election will be in the books. Hopefully my country will take a new turn in the next 4 years. I think Americans need to go back and read The Constitution, and remember what the founding fathers had in mind when they laid out the plans for our republic. Americans have gotten lazy in their civic duties over the last 15 years and the chickens are coming home to roost. Endless war both abroad and against it's own citizens, warrantless wiretaps, trillions of dollars in debt. This is not the way America is supposed to be. She is broken, bleeding, lying in the gutter and gasping for help. We have been stepping over her every day on our way through our busy lives, on our way to our jobs where we earn less than we should but are thankful just to be working. On the way to the discount store to buy more imported goods from China that we really don't need to begin with. Pissing in the gutter where America lay dying as we pollute the world around to the point of no return. When will my countrymen awaken and realize that there is another option? You are the Government. We pay Them, and in return they strip us of our rights and bailout their corporate cronies on Wall Street. This election day I hope people think of these things as the walk into the booth. It may be the last vote we get.

Ron Paul on Rachel Maddow

It is amazing to me that I am virtually the only Ron Paul supporter I know IRL. He has received more air time during this economic crisis than he did during the entire primary, he seems, to me at least, to have all the right ideas, and he is still perceived as a fringe character by 94% of the people I know. It makes no sense, and quite frankly it's the scariest facet of this election season to me. I have this strange claustraphobic/drowning feeling and it's getting worse.

Why is google so slow today?

It seems like only Google sites and apps are affected. Youtube seems ok but Google Video is slow. My iGoogle page took 5 mins to load on a 8mb connection. Even other sites that use google wont load such as vanityfair.com and pitchfork.com . What gives?

A Message for Sara Palin

Ron Paul On CNN About The Bailout

Autumn

OMG I can't wait to get out of work at 11:30 and go up north! A whole weekend of doing nothing. Just my style. although I will be missing Colossus =(

GO BLUE!

Go away, 'batein!

Sorry for the obscure Idiocracy reference there. Last nights debates were AWESOME! McCain came across as a confused and angry old man. Some of his ideas sounded down right idiotic, like his proposal to have troops returning from Iraq going directly into teaching, without any certifications or examinations. Sounds like a recipe for disaster if you ask me. All in all I would have to say that Insane McCain's chances are quickly dwindling, the only hope he has now is another stolen election (which we can never rule out).

Let me just make a quick aside here, I in no way support Obama, I think he is a average candidate and I don't match up with him on several key issues like FISA and the economic bailout.

But, there is no doubt in my mind that if John McCain gets elected the USA as we know it is doomed. There is only a 50% chance off doom with Obama.

RON PAUL 2012!!!
