After looking at this design for a while, I’ve decided it sucks. The biggest hint was my utter lack of motivation to convert the rest of the site to the theme. Taking that train of thought a little further, I asked myself: why the fuck do I even have multiple parts to this website? Whenever WordPress 2.7 goes stable, I’m hitting this baby with a complete overhaul. There will no longer be a website separate from the blog. However, there will be more integration with various services I use to get a complete snapshot of what I do with my life on a single page.

Wednesday, November 12th, 2008CNN: “Poll: Americans OK with Democrats in charge”
Tuesday, November 11th, 2008WOW. Thanks CNN! We couldn’t have guessed it from the ELECTION we just had. Is an election not just a massive poll? Am I crazy? Or does some asswipe at CNN need a new job?
This is almost as good as that time they ran a story that basically said “According to the poll, how Americans feel on X issue depends on who you ask.”
No, seriously, code-related posts are going to make a comeback in a big way.
How to piss off a developer
Sunday, November 9th, 2008Ask for better reporting in the new system, then complain that the reports in the new system aren’t identical to the reports in the old system. That will just about do it.
Almost as good as when the Cardinals won the World Series

The 2008 election has come to a conclusion, and we know that Barack Obama will be the next President. I don’t want to write too much about it, as this isn’t a political blog (let’s face the facts: I can’t even vote yet…) However, what is a blog for, if not to write something pompous on historic occasions.
I’d like to congratulate Barack Obama on getting what he deserves. He has run a classy, warm, inspiring campaign, and he has achieved something incredibly special. His victory is a symbol of so many things that I believe to be American. The amount of blue I see on the electoral map as more and more states come through for Obama reassures me that the values, the strength, and the prosperity that I saw diminish over the 10 years I have spent in this country have not gone away and have returned with renewed strength.
I’d like to commend John McCain on making a classy concession speech. I hope that his supporters honor his request and come together behind our new leader.
I’d like to express how optimistic and proud I feel tonight, and to remind everyone that the nature of a democratic government is that one side always has to lose. Being bitter about not having your candidate win an election is equivalent to being bitter about core principles of democracy.
I truly hope that Barack Obama can accomplish even a fraction of what he has outlined during his campaign.
Finally, I am just excited to have an articulate President. Finally, some real presidential addresses.
