Tech \/ Geek \/ Art:<\/b><\/p>\n

Slashster<\/a> – a slashdot<\/a> version of friendster for geeks who want to keep in touch…<\/p>\n

Peter Jackson has a few new movies in the works, including King
\nKong (2005)<\/a> and the LOTR pre-quel, The
\nHobbit<\/a> (note that this latter link is to a slashdot internal page, and even
\nbetter than the announcement are the very ‘in’ responses to it!).<\/p>\n

A History of Apple’s Operating Systems<\/a><\/p>\n

New, smaller, flashier iPod sells out fast<\/a><\/p>\n

FingaMIDI:<\/a> cool for two reasons. 1. The new trackpads are now sensitive to amount<\/i> of touch (in other words, they are all li’l ADCs – analog to digital converters). 2. Already, geeks have made room for artists to use this to their advantage, via Max\/MSP!<\/p>\n

The transition to politics:<\/b><\/p>\n

The American People:<\/a>
\ncurrent blog which relays many right wing articles that use the words ‘The American
\nPeople,’ in vain, to their own advantage.<\/p>\n

Kerry\/Edwards\/Bush\/Dean:<\/b><\/p>\n

Kerry
\nBacks Benefits for Legally United Gays<\/a> – perhaps kerry is cooler than he first
\nappears? Maybe he has a better chance than Gore did, because he actually has some<\/i>
\nviews he is willing to tell to the public, rather than basing everything on polls
\nuntil it is too late… Still, he is nowhere near as cool as my boy Howard Dean
\n(or Kuchinich, while I’m at it). If you have CNN, check out True
\nBelievers: Life Inside the Dean Campaign,<\/a> on today.<\/p>\n

Kerry
\nCamp Plans to Raise $80 Million<\/a> up against Bush’s continually growing, but
\nalready at, $100 Million. Bush
\nand Kerry [are starting to] square off<\/a> with that money, but that’s not the
\nreason I liked to the article. This<\/em> quote is:
\n“Two-time presidential candidate Adlai Stevenson once had a woman supporter shout out, ‘Mr. Stevenson, all thinking people support you!’ To which Stevenson replied, ‘That’s wonderful. But I need a majority.'”<\/p>\n

Buffett Charges Bush Tax Cuts Favor Wealthy<\/a> – well, duh, but it is<\/i> nice to finally hear a rich person say as such.<\/p>\n

Steal
\nThis Speech<\/a> = interesting take on how Edwards changed the campaign (tho, I
\nread a similar one on Clark last week, which was utter rubbish; it’s that time
\nof year… but on one is arguing about Dean, are they?). More importantly, the
\nworld waits with baited breath to see who Kerry will choose for his VP running
\nmate!<\/p>\n

Last, not least, this article gives a very biased view of how Nader will change
\nthe election (again). Spoiler
\nrole is reflected in poll.<\/a> I must<\/i> point out two very obvious things
\nhere. 1. it is an AP poll, which is predominantly lefties, who will vote for Nader.
\n2. if I ,as a former Nader voter, were to take said poll (which counts for nothing),
\nI would vote for Nader, too. Whereas in the actual election, I would first look
\nat how my state was swinging… Just a thought. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
