Making fun of Palin is a popular liberal pasttime, like eating quiche, drinking lattes, raising taxes, and surrendering.  A few months ago, when Palin gave her unintelligible resignation speech, William Shatner and Conan O'Brien brilliantly turned it into beat poetry.  For those of you who haven't seen it yet:

I need more web developer friends.  When I learn an awesome new skill like multisite hosting, I have no one to share it with.  So I'll just yammer here.

I've now been running Ubuntu on two computers for 24 hours.  Here are my thoughts.

A few months ago I posted a link to Frank Schaeffer, who gives an excellent glimpse into the minds of the evangelical religious right.  It helped me realize that there is no common ground for liberals and conservatives, unless you're willing to base your arguments in the bible.  (I am, but sadly most Democrats are not.)

After five years, I'm switching back to Ubuntu.  There are three reasons for this: (1) a feeling that it really doesn't matter what distro you use, (2) there's a reason Ubuntu is the most popular, and (3) They'll let me have my Goddamn desktop menu bar.  Okay, it's mostly about the menu bar.

Two awesome things worth blogging about: things to make the commute easier, and waste reduction.

First we have Chris, Diana, and Sonya from San Diego:

During our epic mega super ultra two-week vacation, I somehow lost the power adapter for the video camera.  (Probably shouldn't even have brought it.)  I've finally managed to transfer the videos to the computer so I'm starting to process and upload them.  Unlike photography, I have very little experience with videography; in fact, I'm using a different video editing program every time.  So the videos will be slower in seeing the light of day, but I'm working on it, I promise.  As proof, here's the first: a video of Nathan meeting his great grandmother in Canada.

It's been a while since I've done any significant improvements on my own site.  This is mostly because I've been busy with other things.  But I've had a couple requests from people who want to order prints of my work.

The saga to clear out my "camera capture" folder continues.  Next up: Fort Point, 2008.  This was before the overnighter.  But still fun.
