Tackiest jewlery ever
convention is but I just can't get over this diamond navy/usmc broche.
Okay that and the fact that Sarah Palin's son is being deployed to
Iraq on September 11th. How dramatic. Can't they finally end the
September 11th/Iraq connection. I hope he discovers to weapons of
mass destruction.

Dead rabbit
surebert flashgate in AS3 via flex rewrite. Anyways, I was thinking
about it intensely on the way to work and I managed to step in gum.
Luckily, I did not step in this rabbit.
Oh and I finished the flex thing.

Just Testing Chrome
Seems like it uses a lot more memory than firefox. From what I can see in the task manager it has four open processes between 20-30MB and only two tabs are open.
You know what it does not have is full page (media and all) zoom. I freakin love that. Oh, and a mac client ;(

New Google Chrome Browser
Google announced today that they would be releasing a new open source web browser called Google Chrome. The new browser will be available for download as a beta starting tomorrow.
All I can say is fuck - i hate the idea of dealing with yet another new browser. With IE 8 coming along, and the new html 5 safari and firefox - did we really need yet another browser. Its weird because I am usually all about diversity. And I love the idea of standards. If all of the groups adhere to the standards or make thing similar it will be fine. Unfrotunatrly, each of the players involved - microsoft, apple, mozilla, and now google - is not only going to want to support the standards - they are also going to want to differentiate in order to offer new features and seem gain market share. To me it just makes Flex development all that much more appealing. Luckily, it is abased on webkit - like safari so at least there will be something in common. Unfortunately, they are using their own javascript engine. That means that every browser will have a unique javascript engine and that various version of the browsers will have different engines. Should be fun. Really what it means is that all the libraries are going to get bigger. Which sucks but then again broadband is broader and the new engines will be faster.
I wonder if the world will switch to chrome all at once.

Three Meat Birthday for Mike
For the first time I decided to try all three in one forkfull, which was quite delicious.
Also for the first time ever (e:mike) ate with a big fork! Since he was a child he always insisted on eating with the little fork. Even at 6'3" he still ate with a mini fork. Now that he is 25 my parents said it is time to eat with a big boy fork. I don't think he was ready, lol. Here is looking sad when confronted with the big fork situation.
And we also ate the bacon chocolate I got back in vegas (e:paul,45426) It was very delicious chocolate, sprinkled with bacon bits inside.

Sarah Palin and Wikipedia
Well, it turns out:
Someone - and apparently it was just one person - felt like the existing biography wasn't appropriate for a vice-presidential candidate. On Friday, 15 minutes before the rumor that John McCain had picked Palin as his running mate, a Wikipedia editor discovered 30 mostly favorable changes had been made to the Alaska governor's profile.
She was called "a politician of eye-popping integrity" and sections on her participation in a beauty pageant and her alleged use of influence to get her former brother-in-law fired were diminished.
The same person editing McCain. That was probably the most affective way of shaping people ideas without spending a dime.
However, damn that thing is busy. Look at the history on it
It seems like everytime you look at it, it is different.

NAACP. I would have figured you needed to be colored to be the
president of the national association for the advancement of colored
people. Maybe it includes Italians now.

Everyone I know tuned in to see it.
And what about pork? Did she hire a lobbyist in Washington so that the metropolis of Wassilla got more pork, or not?
I could go on...
Nice to see that you're marching in line with the Repuglican line about "biased media". Read my earlier link: an independent study has shown that media has been biased against Obama more than against McCain. But you already knew that; you just wanted to whine about it.
CBS running with a lie - nahh, no bias. This was actually echo chamber material from Washington Monthly and The Atlantic. :::link:::
The source, if you can bear to read it. At least the guy from The Atlantic sourced where he got the news from - DailyKos "muckrakers." Note the "note" at the end.
:::link:::
Gotta love this seeming coordination between Kos, print media such as the Washington Monthly and The Atlantic, and finally with the alphabet networks.
TUESDAY NITE CONVENTION RATINGS, 10 PM ET
FOXNEWS 6,179,000
NBC 4,468,000
CNN 3,220,000
ABC 3,098,000
CBS 2,928,000
MSNBC 1,590,000
(Total: 21,483,000)
I don't want to give the wrong impression - I am not all that pro Obama/democrat. I really once again just don't like anyone so much - although then again I might vote for him unlike Kerry who I refused to vote for.
now...
Palin
...so very entertaining. I doubt we'll have this much drama in an election year for decades to come.
All that is missing is a reality TV show staring the above.
re: the jewelry. I can't commentate on what makes good jewelry (this fact petrifies me if I ever pick a ring out for a girl one day) but (e:jason) pointed out the purpose behind it.
(e:ajay) - yeah, that stuff was debunked.
anyway, I thought Palin did a good job with what she had to work with. I thought Guiliani came over as childish and jeering...like when he started laughing at community organizers. He should have just said 'he has no executive experience' then perhaps he wouldn't have insulted the millions of people who work for their communities in America. guy is a douche of epic proportions
I had an awesome class last night with one of the more respected forecasters in the country who is a die hard Republican and he is expecting his post convention model to project an Obama win. It was fascinating with regard to what affects an election and what goes into a model
btw, did anyone else notice that the baby daddy chewed gun in the most vile manner when he was onstage and shaking hands with McCain...I mean rep or Dem if he was your kid you would thrash his ass
(e:Ajay), that was an A+ rant, and others here have made that same case. Of course, the lies have already been exposed, Sarah Palin's voter registration records have been released, and the network bloggers who propagated the smear have already corrected themselves. This is called the "Anatomy of the Death of a Smear" - but the precedent has long been set that the truth doesn't matter, only the extent to which you can damage someone. I hear that Conservatives are still talking about the "fake birth certificate" and the "secret muslim" stuff as well.
This is from two days ago, just so everyone knows and accepts the facts as it pertains to her being a member of the party. It also gives a link to TPM, so you can get your next version of the company line.
:::link:::
Here is the link to the original ABC blogger:
:::link:::
Cindy McCain is looking like what if the GOP was in charge of Barbie Doll production.
And the contrived links to 9/11 by Palin? Puhleeze.
This is a woman who was a member of, and spoke at, the "Alaska Independence Party" convention; whose founder said, on the record: "The fires of hell are frozen glaciers compared to my hatred for the American government", and who refused to be buried in Alaska under the American flag.
Palin is a hypocrite of the highest order. But, what else should we expect from the Repuglicans, the party of hypocrites.
