My (sort of ) brother-in-law made this funny short film about George W. Check it out.

Sign up for the next Green Party Meet-Up at and vote for a venue.

Terry - this means you!!!

It's so beautiful out and I'm stuck inside, not even accomplishing anything. Today isn't a day to be productive. It should be spent laying in the grass. Alas...

I received this email from a former co-worker yesterday.

"Apparently there is only one company in the US that is certified to inspect
and approve electronic voting hardware (which is how >50 million people will
vote in November)."

The company is Wyle Labs, a subcontractor that my company has been forced to work with. They are the MOST INCOMPETENT people with whom I have ever interacted. They are responsible for providing us with data for some of our Navy projects, and have f**d it up every single time. Sometimes they give us the wrong data format (even though we've worked with them for 3 years), sometimes they give us data months late, and in one recent experience, the IT person could not understand how to place files on our ftp site.

Silly stuff-
I had an argument with someone over art bombs. Maybe some of you can guess who it was. What is the problem??? How can you be anti art bomb? Why don't you argue with people about real bombs?

Political stuff-
What is the point of having a 9/11 commission interview without any kind of formal record? Enough said.

And finally-
I'm leaving for California today. I hope some of you will take care of my Desi for me while I'm gone.
