Geekery: WiFi and Presidential HTML
Hmm. I’ve used internet cafes while travelling, but have no idea wher to find one w/in 20mi of home. WiFi hotspots, OTOH, are everywhere.
Political geekery; saw a bumper sticker reading </bush>. Only prob: tag should be <president name="bush">. Did I mention geekery?
LJ Shakeup
Oh, fun. Time to look up a LiveJournal archiver, just in case…
Not Dead Yet: LiveJournal will be run by the US arm with software development in Russia. Hmm…

Listening to “Nightmare Revisited.” All-American Rejects were not the best choice for “Jack’s Lament”
Amazingly, “What’s This” is worse. A song all about the thrill of discovery with NO ENERGY. Are they thinking about what they’re singing?
Korn is knocking “Kidnap the Sandy Claws” out of the park. *whew*
OK, this album is definitely improving.
Amy Lee + “Sally’s Song” = win.

Zune Fail, Comment Win & Holiday Creep
- Weird: Zunes all over the world froze up at the same time overnight.
- Comment win: “like she was going to rip his arm off and beat his spleen to death with it. Not him; just his spleen”
- Just a quick store run – yeah along with everyone else in town.
- More holiday creep! I still need to mail Xmas gifts to people I missed! It’s still 2008!
