wow, check out these numbers from inequality.org

Billionaires for Bush (or Gore):

Although they differ on some policies and sometimes wear different colored power ties, we’re confident that both candidates are deeply committed to economic inequality. They bring their hard-won personal experience making millions in a business subsidized by taxpayers (Bush: oil & gas, baseball stadiums; Gore: agribusiness) to national economic policy. Both oppose raising the minimum wage to match the cost of living. Both will continue taxpayer subsidies of generous CEO salaries, as well as taxing earnings from the stock market at a lower rate than income from actual work. Gore might be a Democrat, but he’s still a plutocrat. Vote for Bush or Gore–Because Inequality Is Not Growing Fast Enough.

actually, when i was looking for photos of the two for an art project i did last year, they were wearing the same power ties.

Rave dancing is not choreographed,” said Wyoming Telford, a 23-year-old cocktail waitress from Seattle who has been going to raves for seven years.

“You don’t count steps, you don’t have to work with other people, and you’re not trying to evoke a story line.”

while definitely not necessary, any three of those things can be really fun things to do though. also a classic quote:

“A more basic technique is the Nordictrack, jokingly named after the cross-country skiing motion one makes on the so-named exercise machine.”

ahh, my sides. 😉

well, i got back in town last night, moved in this morning, and have been hanging around trying to get my registration stuff straightened out. also, while i was at it, i finally created the virtual host for huffimuffiguffi.org

If you can guarantee the results in advance, it’s not an experiment. – scott mccloud on feed.

awesome, i am currently stuck in iraan texas. that btw, is officially in the middle of nowhere. they don’t have the parts to fix my car, but the library does have an internet connection. yay for technology. needless to say, i will be running a few days late.

on ice capsThe thick ice that has for ages covered the Arctic Ocean at the pole has turned to water, recent visitors there reported yesterday. At least for the time being, an ice-free patch of ocean about a mile wide has opened at the very top of the world, something that has presumably never before been seen by humans…

you know, it never occured to me, but it really does make sense. why the heck bother arbitrarily limiting varchar sizes on the db when it’s not going to save space or have other performance considerations and can be done on the app side.

speak of the devil and he shall call. it has occurred to me that i should perhaps do more personal writing. it seems to me to be one of the more important things that i’ve been ignoring.
