Is it a Game?

I'm not completely sure what is does exactly, but it's fun.

Project, Day 101

I have four of these wrap-arounds to do, and did two of them this morning.

Well this is just plain strange...

"Home businesses know they must seem successful to become successful. So they play Thriving Office while on the phone. This valuable CD, which is filled with the sounds people expect to hear from an established company, provides instant credibility."

Now I know what to get everyone for Christmas!

Project, Day 97

Yes, day 97.
Due to a problem with my foot, I was not been able to walk around much for awhile. This all but halted the project. I did try to do some small bits most days though, even though everything took much longer than it should.
A lot of small odds and ends have been done, and almost everything is put back where it belongs in the living room.
There is still trim work to be done in the entry, and paint and some woodwork repair in the hallway. I may get these done this week, or this weekend.

New

I started a new blog here:
http://elgintime.blogspot.com/
I'm working on wrapping new material together using ElginTime.com. It's hard to know the best way to do some of this. The blogger facility for example has advantages, but it quite a bit less flexible than simply creating ordinary web pages. We'll see...

The Truth is Still Out There

"Why did the military allow the space monsters to attack George W. Bush's stupid brush-clearing ranch?"

Uh, hoping for the best?

These are Our Choices?

http://www.salon.com/opinion/walsh/election_2008/2008/07/10/obama_fisa/index.html?source=newsletter

"I've admired Obama, but I never confused him with a genuine progressive leader. Today I don't admire him at all. His collapse on FISA is unforgivable. The only thing Obama has going for him this week is that McCain is matching him misstep for misstep. While we're railing about Obama's craven vote on FISA -- rightfully; Glenn Greenwald is a hero for his work on this topic -- McCain was outdoing Dick Cheney with neocon crazy talk, warning that Iran's test of nine old missiles we already knew they had increases the chances of a "second Holocaust." Every time I wonder whether I can ultimately vote for Obama in November, given all of his political cave-ins, McCain does something new to make sure I have to."

Rove

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/25622771

"Former White House adviser Karl Rove defied a congressional subpoena and refused to testify Thursday about allegations of political pressure at the Justice Department, including whether he influenced the prosecution of a former Democratic governor of Alabama."

Much more of this and the Senate will have to resort to HARSH LANGUAGE.
Don't say they didn't warn you Mr Rove, that's HARSH LANGUAGE. No one wants that... And we certainly don't want the Senate to have ratchet up even further to STERN WARNINGS!

But we don't have to worry about that. I'm sure they'll just pass an immunity bill before it comes to that.

Number One

"According to SustainLane’s 2006 City Rankings, Portland leads the nation when it comes to green building, eco transportation programs, energy and climate change policies, air quality, water quality, and green economy initiatives. Half of the city is powered by renewable sources, and a quarter of its workforce commutes by bike, carpool or public transportation."
