This weekend, a bunch of us got a hotel room in San Francisco for our Saturday night shindig. To express my protest for the passage of Proposition 8, I played a disco house set in San Francisco, on the same as a number of other protests were scheduled. Due to the antsiness of the girls […]
The good news is: Barack Obama is the 44th President of the United States. At long, beautiful last. John McCain was gracious in his concession. Well done, sir. The bad news is: Proposition 8 passed in California, barely. Each time, it passes by less. This time, it was 52% / 48%. Marriage Equality in California […]
This morning, I went in to my local election station as early as possible, arriving just after 7 this morning. Turnout was unsurprisingly very high. With my cheat sheet in hand (Obama, Holtz, random city council people, No on everything except high speed rail), I waited patiently. As 7:30 came and went, I’m still standing […]

You might think that’s because they’ve got the security of my sensitive personal information in mind. No, they don’t, actually. Every day, I get […]
Ofoto fires DeCanio over web sites A bicycle racer gets fired for the contents of his weblog and his refusal to take “questionable” content offline before he signed the contract. Is it another case of an employer trying to silence and employee for making statements that do not reflect the way the employer prefers to […]
Did you get one of those big round stickers with the Great Seal of the United States (or a really crappy approximation thereof)? I have a little gripe. Just like in the 2000 election and the 2002 mid-term election, there is a problem with the stickers. If I look at the banner coming out of […]
Today, I went to the polls early, on the way to work, casting my ballot for Al Gore. I got to work, praying that the news outlets would relax a little on the speculation just this once, so that everyone could vote out here before a winner was announced. My prayer went unanswered. In the […]
