A totally biased and unreasonable list of blogs that I think you might enjoy reading.
The reason to vote for Obama, he says:
“I will open the doors to government and ask you to be involved in your own democracy again.”
If you have not seen his ~28 minute spot yet, you should. Even if you don’t plan to vote for Obama, the spot points out the things our government should [...]

I couldn’t resist this touching story. If you have not volunteered for a political campaign, you should do it. I am not sure it really matters which campaign, nor which party (well, the results might matter - but the impact on your own life will be good no matter what candidate/issue you help [...]

Senator John McCain and the Republican party has tried very hard in these last few days of the 2008 election to paint Senator Barack Obama as a Socialist, claiming from a very old quote taken out of context, that as president Obama would try to “spread the wealth” and “raise your taxes.”
This is particularly ironic [...]
Yesterday and today my co-workers and I moved a big Oracle database from one old Sun V440 (anyone want to buy some Sun gear?) to a newer Sun T2000. I love my work, it’s fascinating to plan minimal downtime, and try to get all the details right on the new server so the [...]
This is just something silly to do, like participating in a football pool…
Here are my revised predictions for the outcome of the election:
Obama with 393 electoral votes and 57% of popular vote; surprise states include: GA, ND, NC, IN, MO, WV.
The battleground is provably changed because the dynamic is changed. I think if the [...]
It takes enormous courage to walk away from your job, your income on principles. I am impressed with these folks in Indiana:
Dozens Of Call Center Workers Walk Off Job In Protest Rather Than Read McCain Script Attacking Obama
It’s a hard thing to do in today’s (lack of) job market… I wish them [...]
A friend who has to be in California asked for photos of the foliage this season, so I have been snapping a few shots with the silly camera in my new iPhone.
Gallery
Most were shot on or around my house over the past week.
Sample from the gallery:
I am not in California, but I have been sufficiently inspired by the same deliberate attempt to sow confusion amongst voters there as we saw here in 2006. I am hoping the message gets out to Californian voters and they are not fooled into adding discrimination into their state’s laws.
The short version for Californians [...]
Near the end of 1982 I first heard the song “Mad World” by Roland Orzabal of Tears for Fears and immediately liked it (and many other Tears for Fears songs), but I was a firm art/progressive rocker at the time and put it well below my favorites of that time (Yes, The Who, Jethro Tull, [...]
On my way to get Erci’s car serviced, I captured this image with my iPhone. We are very fortunate to be surrounded by so much beauty.
I was very fortunate to be out all weekend with La Belle Compagnie at Colonial Plantation in beautiful Ridley Creek State Park between Philadelphia and West Chester. [...]
This is why I am voting for Judy Feder to be the next congressional representative from Virginia’s 10th district.
Congressman Frank Wolf demonstrates how out of touch with reality he is.
It is also particularly annoying to me, as a veteran, that Wolf does not support our veterans nor our troops like he should. His [...]
Though it was a good attempt, the is_human() WordPress module was a failure for me, so I pulled it off my website. It was blocking way too many legitimate comments and did absolutely nothing to address the hundreds of trackback and linkback spams showing up daily.
I am sad, as I had hoped it would [...]
Trying to make this as easy as I can, friends in Loudoun sent me this (thanks Rob and Dave):

It has the information you want to know if you are intending to vote early in Loudoun County, Virginia.

This year’s November 4th General Election is going to be huge. Expected turn-out numbers are all record setters even by the most conservative estimates. We should expect really long lines and possibly some problems with the process even with the best of intentions.
One way we can alleviate some of the stress is to [...]
It’s October 17th, at 6:24 am Eastern, on News8 and I just saw the first positive campaign message advertisement I’ve seen from John McCain this election. In this ad, Senator McCain does not even mention Senator Obama. It’s ironic that a positive campaign ad shows up after the debates are over, and I [...]
