“Statler & Waldorf come down from their balcony to agree to disagree about why watch the presidential debate.”
They accurately sum up my feelings on the matter.

Canon Digital Learning Center – Sample Video: EOS 5D Mark II
“REVERIE, an independently-produced video by Explorer of Light Vincent Laforet. This video was shot with a pre-production Canon EOS 5D Mark II digital SLR. The files used to create this video were not manipulated in any way, only re-compressed for ¼ resolution display on our website.”
Pretty amazing for a $2,700 camera with the primary purpose of shooting photographs.

Ironic Sans: In a political campaign far, far away…
Love the “A New Hope” poster. I would’ve already bought one if not for the fact that Lucasfilm is such a corporate copyright nazi that they don’t let fans make a few bucks off of brilliant stuff like this.

Diamond Insider: A Mervis Blog » Tell Us Your Stories » We Interview Tom Bridge of WeLoveDC. Because We Also Love DC.
My friend Tom is interviewed about his relationship, proposal, and marriage to my friend Tiffany. I’m still pleased to have been somewhat on the inside track regarding Tom’s purchasing the ring, planning the proposal, etc.
Politely ignore that the last two paragraphs of the post are a none-too-thinly veiled advertisement for the blog’s corporate parent.

DiscCloud – Home
“With DiscCloud, you can transform a PC, Workstation, or other x86 based machine into a powerful Leopard Desktop Server. Once your desktop is in the DiscCloud, you can scale and manage it with VMware on standard x86 servers.”
Not that I plan on doing anything like this, I just found it intriguing.

Pretty excited, technology-wise. I believe this answers our question of whether to stay with DirecTV or move to Verizon FiOS TV when we’re ready to step up to HD. We love our TiVo…

Finishing Well: Strange responses to “pain”
Great piece from my friend Mike.
“We will do whatever is needed to keep from feeling pain in the moment. It doesn’t really matter to us whether the solution has actually changed anything, but in the moment we ‘feel’ better. Our whole culture has done that in our response to God. […] But we do….we will do whatever it takes to ‘be happy’ and avoid pain in the moment. We divorce our mates to ‘be happy.’ We hurt others so we can ‘be happy.’ We make a big change to get a little result in the moment so we feel like we have solved our problem without really changing anything at all. We have yet to resolve the problem, but we feel better.”

The curse word ‘Battlestar Galactica’ created – CNN.com
Humorous look at the fake curse word “frak”. Yes, it’s intended as a replacement for exactly the word you’re thinking of. I had no idea Glen Larson had coined it during the original Galactica series I watched religiously as a boy. I did, however, remember “feldergarb”.
