OMG

“Didn't know Africa is a continent?”
How can this kind of stuff be “off the record”? What about our press' responsibility to the voting public? What, you were going to tell us this after we voted?

President Obama

Two thoughts:
1) I believe this may be the first time I have ever voted for a presidential candidate who actually won. I'm one for six!
2) This is the first president in living memory that I am actually inspired by and excited about. I do have realistic expectations on what he will actually be able to [...]

Lots of shouting

Here's the one I promised for today. I don't know enough about audio to give the voice an “outdoor” effect. I'm also trying to limit musical stings and sound effects to the free use ones that come with Garage band, otherwise I would have ended this with a roar of soldiers.
Henry V, Act III, Sc. [...]

I'm thinking of doing a podcast…

… nothing big. I'm not looking for audience numbers. I just have some ideas of how to present my Savage Earth campaign in an audio format.I have found the Log of the Crimson Lein (Intro Series), and Vegas After Midnight to be entertaining to listen to.

If I need to quickly know a factoid about a country, or the date something happened, and the need [...]

It can stop now

OK, I've voted. You can turn off the machine now. I don't need to hear anymore. Really. Just, stop it. I'm done.
Oh also? No candidates that I voted for do anything exceedingly stupid or illegal before election day, OK?

McCain is a funny, funny fella

I don't know how many of you watched the candidates roast each other Thursday night at the Alfred E. Smith Dinner, but what a show. Obama came off pretty well, but McCain was a hoot and a half. I like this kind of stuff, because it cuts through all the horrible mudslinging and inflated passes-for-rhetoric [...]

Ambassadors of Peace

Had the great fortune of seeing Ladysmith Black Mombazo in live performance today. Fantastic concert. I have a couple of their albums but had never even seen them televised before. I had no idea how energetic and lively they were. Nor how humorous. We had a blast. It was a sell-out crowd.
We did managed to [...]
