"Undermining my electoral viability since 2001."

Energize America

Pretty neat: open source energy policy and message from Kossacks. This is one of those issues that is going to only get more prescient, both in terms of everyday realities and politics, but I'm pessimistic about anyone seizing the day on it in the next few years. Grassroots organization and peer-to-peer consciousness-raising can help prime the pump and get maybe elected officials moving.

Whoa

How many women do you have in your IM buddy list? I have none that are not family or work contacts.

That's indicitive of something.

For clarity, I felt it was indicative of something about me, not the democraphics of the IMing population. Clearly the technology is in wide use by all sorts. I just don't happen to use it to talk to girls, which may or may not be a good thing.

Sam Seder; M-F'in the MAN

Look. For the record, I think this "war on Christmas" stuff is complete bullshit. No one cares, except O'Reilly who uses it to grandstand, and extreme right-wing religious groups who use it to fundraise. I think it's a non-issue for the vast majority of US citizens, and I think it's a damn shame that these right-wing republican jerk-asses are politicizing this time of the year, which is about family and kindness and community and reflection. Fuck them.

So I'm excited that Sam Seder brings a little smack down on CNN. Fuckin-a, Sam. Don't you never back down.

Getting Organazized

One of the drawbacks of not having an office or consistant workspace is a lack of project organization. I don't have a lot of stuff (papers, materials, etc) to keep track of, but I do usually have four or five projects going on at once.

Anyone have tips? I feel like I need a whiteboard. My kingdom for a coffeeshop with really good internet, a printer, a fax, some private little booths for phone calls and a lot of whiteboard space. I'd pay a monthly membership fee for that.
