So, I’m actually getting to this-maybe. I’m opening it first thing in the morning, and hopefully it will get done by the time I go home. We’ll see.
Recap: since it’s only been a week, probably shorter than the last few. Sealight Friday, finished up the week at vacation Bible school with a Saturday service (it was an SDA church), went swimming, Matt lost a tooth, church Sunday, thunderstorm Sunday night-Colin didn’t like it, Matt didn’t wake up, the usual weekly work schedule-I’m starting on the process of getting a new desktop computer and an OSX/Vista testbed. The summer is just rolling by. The kids watch a lot of Animal Planet. And swim a lot too.
Issues: Plame suing Bush, Cheney, etc.-this is a much more effective way of going after them-a civil case has a much lower burden of proof.
The Israelis and Hezbollah continue to pound each other, and the Lebanese and Israeli citizens are bearing the brunt-in a lot of ways, this is a proxy war between the U.S. and Iran.
I’ve been watching Rockstar Supernova-Tommy Lee is entertaining-there were 3 of these talent contests on last night at the same time-can you say “summer doldrums”? I also found a cool show called Dead Like Me, which was on Showtime a few years ago and got cancelled-not bad-it’s on Sci Fi Tuesdays. Meerkat Manor Fridays, Avatar Fri or Sat., Mind of Mencia Sun, Eureka looks fun, South Park Weds. And of course the Daily Show and the Colbert Report M-R nights…
Bush’s first veto EVER was on expanded stem cell research-a move to rally his base given increasing criticism by GOP members-since everything he touches turns to garbage and midterm elections looming, he’s gotta do SOMETHING. And the tired legislators are trying to shove dumb flag burning and gay marriage bills through, which go nowhere FAST. Whatever. He’s doing nothing about Lebanon, which isn’t surprising either.
Bush gave the German chancellor a neckrub at the prep to G8-she didn’t like it-in a normal setting that could be considered sexual harassment… What was he thinking? Nothing probably. With Condi nowhere to be seen and Laura living in a hotel, I guess he figured he could get some… ;-> Blecch. He is SO puppet boy.
Links and downloads: Winfreyism-I read this awhile back and think it’s an astute criticism, flamenco-a search interface project, cute dancing video-by a guy who traveled all over the world-sorta dumb, but in some ways sweet, all in one computer tools, Danah Boyd-I saw a thing on her on cNet? she’s pretty kQQL, Jazz Guitar Online-free licks and lessons, Edubuntu-I’m planning to implement this for school-I saw a thing on how Ubuntu is the best client OS, so I got this one for the kids-installed it on a server here and it looks pretty good so far, Guitar lessons-Googled and found this on the rock guitar side.
Page 23, Sentence 5: “For the public and reporters, Bush’s formative years-which he extends to age forty-are out of bounds.” Worse Than Watergate
