Beat to the Punch

Today, I intended to do a quick write up of my thoughts on the first ballot proposal in Michigan. So, I did a little bit of poking around on the internet to see what other people are saying. Unfortunately, I found a guy who not only wrote on proposal 1, but 2 as well, and he pretty much said exactly what I was gonig to say. Now that my thunder has been stollen, I  guess that I’ll just have to post links to his blog posts. I’m sure I can still come up with something that hasn’t already been said 100,000 timse this campaign  cycle.  It may just be about one of the people running unopposed in Ottawa County. ;-)

Microscopic Keyboard, AKA the Apple Wireless Keyboard

Look at how tiny this thing is against my preferred Microsoft Natural Keyboard.

It’s a little bit bigger than the 1000H, but not by much.

For a little perspective, check out my hand eclipsing them both.

Election Countdown: FAIL

Ok, so if you were actually following my site you’d have noticed that the past two days resulted in no new posts. Regrettably, this is simply indicative of the amount of free time I have during the day at the moment. I had a fairly huge project dropped in my lap last friday that had to be done as fast a humanly possible. Thus, I’ve been putting in 18 hour days trying to hammer this out. I still fully intend to get some posts up, I am just not sure how many it will  be at this point. I can certainly tell you that I got the first draft of the project done. So I’ll be posting it for client review later today. And, barring any other sudden issues that interfere, I should have another post up by late tonight. Preferably on that is actually on topic.

On the bright side, I did not actually expect to change any hearts or minds in the final days of this election cycle. I’m fairly sure the Obama brainwash is insurmountable. I’d say that people have faith in Obama, however unfounded. And, the funny thing about faith is that to an outsider it is unexplainable, and to the insider no explanation is necessary.

Count Down to Election Day

The count down starts today. Only ten days remain until the election that will decide the fate of mankind. To mark the occassion, I will be attempting to scribe a post relating to political matters every day until the election. On election day, I’ll write a post describing my disgust regarding Michigan voters, and despare about the election of Obama.

I meant to have this post be fully packed with political juiciness. Unfortunately, I am still behid things that I need to do before I really get writing. At the moment I can’t really research anything I am talking about since I’m installing windows updates to get my 1000H “current.” At best all I can do is rant. And, an additional annoyance is that I am actually writing this post using DarkRoom, the old version. DarkRoom Air sits, uncompleted on my mac just waiting to be unleashed. Unfortunately, the settings are not quite finished, and it needs some polish before it will be usable. Ah…the irony.

Actually, this works out to be quite an issue for me, as the time that I plan to use to write posts in, in the up coming days is also the time that I would have had available to work on DarkRoom Air. The reason this is so problematic is that both are fairly time sensitive. As, I am doing my count down so posts are important. But, I was hoping to get the beta of DRA out for nanowrimo so that I could get some writers in there to blast away at it. I really want to get some heavy hitters in there on it, because I have no idea how well the Air platform will be able to handle enormous documents before it begins to degrade performance.

In short, stay tuned.
