I’ll let you know if my ballot comes with this option on it. All I can say is I wish I had as much money as he did in the movie…I’d get my 300,000,000 no SWEAT! I’d get None of the above on the ballot 🙂
Seriously, everyone needs to think about what the right thing to do is. BUT, I don’t like either of the two major party candidates.

Here is one more example of Noddy that Lydia likes. This one, the word is shoe.

I mentioned in our podcast that Lydia had started liking Noddy. We bought it thinking it might help us with our Serbian because the characters speak slowly and about simple subjects and with simple words (it’s for kids…which is good). Here is an example for you to see:

We get lots of odd channels over here. One of them that I come across is Fashion TV. They broadcast things like interviews with designers, runway shows, etc…. I never watch it and only see it when I flip by….but….most of the outfits I have seen on the channel are downright goofy. I don’t know why anyone would come up with them…let alone buy them to wear them.
I ditched skype. From this paper it looks like the Chineese Government is reading the skype conversations of people. If they aren’t it sure looks like it.
I know many people called me a freetard for my stance on free software. However, at least with free software, you know if there is or is not a backdoor (well, you can at least find out…or pay someone who can find out). You can look at the code, you can compile your own, in short….you can know. With non-free software, you have no idea. If I were still using Skype, I’d ditch it right now.
Picture from re-ality
Today, I came across this image. It is from a visualization contest sponsored by New Scientist (I think). It shows the Bible with a bar graph (below the horizon?) for the number of words in each chapter. The arcs on top represent the links between chapters (wonder how they did that? Theme? Word?).
Want to see a map of our city (Cacak)? Well, here you go. You should be able to go to flickr and get the full-size original version (well, as much as flickr would handle…20MB) if you want.
By the way, the individual scans are up on flickr. I thought I should be able to get a way good big image because I scanned everything in a grid. But huggin (the app I use to stitch pics now) didn’t really like it. if you want to give it a go, download the images and give it a whirl. Let me know how it comes out. All of the images can be found here.
As I mentioned in our podcast for September 28, 2008, here is a link to Don Francisco’s website.
