Thirty minutes…
Thirty minutes… then I get off work, try to eat something and go to my second interview at the bank I was talking about. Wish me luck everyone!! I wasn’t nervous at all, because the last interview was very relaxed and, though this bank is a rather large company, it felt like an interview for a job at a small home-grown business. Now, however, the nerves are setting in. Ah well, I’ll get over it. Two hours from now it’ll all be over. 
Mao!
This is the best card game ever. Katie, Jacy, Noah, and I played this for hours a year ago or so. You shouldn’t read this page, because one rule of Mao is that you can’t discuss the rules. If you read this and start playing Mao, though, you may find that you have no clue what’s going on, because the point of Mao is to basically be like Uno, except there are obscure rules that nobody knows until they play and figure them out. Some caught on, some didn’t. So the rule variations in different circles are different. I’ve seen many different rules on different sites, they never match up, but this link has all the rules we used that night, and a lot more that I’d never heard of. I found this by searching for “bullshit” because we couldn’t remember how to play.
Anyway, here’s the link, it’ll make more sense when you read it.
Search box
I know I still need to fix the width of the comment box, but how about the search box, does it show up properly for you? It does sometimes for me, other times it doesn’t.
Are you going to vote?
Imagine this:
You wake up tomorrow morning. You get out of bed, go and pour yourself a glass of water.
The purity of that water is regulated by the government.
You take a shower, get ready to go, and head out the door, and take a deep breath.
The purity of the air is regulated by the government.
You start your car, which runs on gas, whose price is regulated by the government.
You drive down the road, provided by the government.
Maybe you stop and take your kids to school. The condition of your children’s education is regulated by the government.
You go to work, your wages are regulated – in part at least – by the government.
Maybe you take your child to soccer practice, or football, basketball, baseball, whatever… most likely sponsored by a government funded recreation center.
You walk on American soil, you breathe American air, you drink American water, you eat food from American farmers.
Now look me in the eye and tell me why you’re not voting on Nov. 2.
Many people died for democracy, and democracy relies on voters. Don’t you think that, more than just the right, you have the DUTY to go to the polls and vote?
I don’t care if you support Bush (though I don’t know how you could at this point) or Kerry, let your voice be heard.
URI vs. URL
So maybe it’s just the WordPress authors’ preference, but when did URI start being used in place of URL? It seems like lately more people are using URI, and I’m really not sure why.
Bush Wearing a Wire?
LuxFX / They Think They’re Newsworthy – puppet president has no strings%u2026 uh, wires
This is disturbing. I hope that it isn’t true, just because I’d like to believe that Not-My-President Bush still has a little bit of dignity. Apparently there’s a lot of evidence that Bush used a wire and was being cued.
Note: I wouldn’t normally say “Not-My-President” because in the US and any other country, it’s important to respect your elected officials, since the public has decided and the official in office is who the public wants. However, in this case, Bush never won the elections. Therefore, he’s not an elected official. Not in my eyes anyway.
WordPress
Now using WordPress! Movable Type is starting to be a bitch (the company, not the platform) and WordPress is Open Source. Things look a little off, but that will be fixed asap.
Basic intro to how to protect yourself online…
OK I was contacted by a friend the other day who was having serious problems with Spyware, Adware, and possibly viruses. Who isn’t these days, right? Well, I’ve never had a huge problem with it.
