Signs

Stopped by my house to feed my dog, take a break from canvassing this afternoon. What a gorgeous fall day here in Colorado. 70 degrees, sunny, and just enough of a breeze to rustle the leaves.


Funny thing I've noticed in my corner of the Mecca of the Right-wing Republican Base, I'm seeing more 'for sale' and 'for rent' signs in front yards than McCain/Palin '08 signs. Highly unusual in these parts, especially since there are almost half as many Obama/Biden '08 signs. I guess petty partisanship takes a back seat to economic realities.

The Continuing Rise of the Machines

Funny things, PCs. My $400 laptop runs circles around my $2300 Sony Vaio (2.8 GHz P4, 1GB RAM) because it is 5 years "younger." Amazing shit.

LOL! It did a decent, albeit, hitchy job of displaying standard definition channels, but HD? Nope. Ah, Moore's law continues, no longer is it clock cycles, but it will be again, and then it will be architecture change again (multiple cores for now), ad infinitum ... until we accidentally build SkyNet. I'm guessing in 10 years, a run-of-the-mill PC will have the computational power of some of the "supercomputers" of today. I know, not a stretch. I'm just trying to get my head around the software that will be inevitably written to bog down that much CPU/Memory horsepower, because those damn d...

Pleading for the future...

"I am pleading for the future; I am pleading for a time when hatred and cruelty will not control the hearts of men." - Clarence Darrow. Keith Olbermann again cuts through the bullshit and talks about what many of us fear... and how to prevent it. If only we'd listen to reason. I know, what a concept. Yes, of course he's a partisan!! How the hell could you not be in this starkly obvious election? This election is hopefully not a premature referendum on the maturity of the proverbial hearts of men.
