Jason Webley Halloween Show 2004 October 31, 2004
Prairie and I went to Jason Webley’s Halloween/Deathday show last night. The show, of course (and as always), was incredible, and I’ll try to get a better writeup later on today. For now, though, I’ve uploaded a photoset from last night to Flickr.

I’ve voted! October 29, 2004
Thanks to the joy and convenience of voting by mail, I’ve just filled out my ballot, and will be dropping it in the mail momentarily. For the record, my votes on two of the most important issues that I’ve been watching over the past few months: Kerry/Edwards for President and No on I-83.

Time to Vote October 29, 2004
Want to vote on Tuesday, but don’t think you’ll have the time? Think again — thirty states have laws giving workers the right to take time off to vote.

Prognostication October 28, 2004
You know, back in 2000 a Republican friend of mine warned me that if I voted for Al Gore and he won, the stock market would tank, we’d lose millions of jobs, and our military would be totally overstretched.

2004’s Scariest Halloween Costumes October 28, 2004
On my way back to work from lunch I passed one of The Stranger’s distribution boxes, paused a moment to check out this week’s cover — and probably startled a couple of the people around me when I burst out laughing at the cover photo.

Wishlist: Bank transaction RSS feed October 28, 2004
Just something that popped into my head. I want a daily update from my bank via authenticated RSS feed. Are there any banks (especially in the Seattle area) that offer this as part of their online banking?

Lunar eclipse, Seattle, WA October 27, 2004
After finding out about tonight’s eclipse earlier today, I started wondering if I could get any halfway decent shots of it. Since the camera I’m using allows longer exposures (up to eight seconds), I figured it’d be worth a shot.

Lunar Eclipse tonight October 27, 2004
John reminded me that there’s a lunar eclipse tonight. If the skies stay as clear as they are right now, I may climb up to the roof of my apartment building and see if I can get any decent pictures. In the meantime, I present this handy-dandy guide to eclipse terminology.

Eminem: Mosh October 26, 2004
I’ve never been a fan of Eminem. I tend to find his music boring, and his lyrics violent, misogynistic, homophobic, and offensive. That said…hot damn this video is a powerful piece of work.

In the lawsuit, the Topfree 10 points out that the only legal means to expose female breasts is for the gratification of others, not for a woman’s comfort.

I just don’t get it. October 25, 2004
How anyone can claim to care about the state of affairs in the country, but not care enough to vote, is beyond me.

The Gamesters of Triskelion October 22, 2004
Sure, today they’re flying a flight simulator. Tomorrow, they’ll be betting Quatloos on how well we fight. Don’t say I didn’t warn you…

Because it matters. October 22, 2004
The story has changed. It is not about the candidates anymore…. The story now IS the election. The election process…. The real story is the engagement of the people.

You’re never too old to die for your country October 22, 2004
Though, I certainly hope this gentleman doesn’t end up dying for his country — he’s a 70-year old retired doctor who’s been called into service.

Comments working again October 22, 2004
It appears that last night when I was adding the latest batch of spam URLs to MT-Blacklist’s blacklist, I inadvertently added one entry that was just the string ‘tp:’. This has been corrected, and comments now appear to be functioning correctly again.

Tight Jeans October 22, 2004
Flight and motorcade uneventful. Bush was accompanied on AF1 by his daughter Barbara, in tight jeans, and by Dan Bartlett and Karl Rove, who were not wearing tight jeans.

Repercussions October 21, 2004
You may remember that a couple weeks ago, Bush’s hometown paper The Iconoclast endorsed John Kerry for President. Reaction to their endorsement has been strong — to the point where they wrote a second editorial, detaling some of that reaction. It’s not a pretty picture.
