So my man Clark has bailed<\/a>. Funny, how these politics come full circle.<\/p>\n

When the election season first kicked in, I had gone with Kerry, simply because I thought he had the ability to win, simply by the Vietnam experience. I even donated $5 to his campaign early on. I even went to one of the first MeetUps in Palo Alto for Kerry but was turned off by the fact that only four people showed up. I liked Dean’s politics, just didn’t think he could beat Bush. But when Clark jumped in the fray I thought that he stood the best chance, but apparently the rest of the country didn’t think so. He took to long to get in, and didn’t have hard and fast stances on all the issues and sometimes wavered. <\/p>\n

Looks like that Kerry is my man now. Maybe he’ll pick up Clark as VP — or maybe Edwards?<\/p>\n

I’m still thinking that Bill Clinton is itching to get back into DC — Clinton for Secretary of State? Whaddya say?<\/p>\n

Politics aside, I finished my assignment for MacWorld which is good. Word to the wise:don’t try to compile KDE from scratch on a G3 400 Mhz machine. <\/p>\n

I’m enjoying how the weather has been getting better as of late. I wore short sleeves for the first time in awhile (with a fleece on top of it, though).<\/p>\n

This is a good bit from this neat essay<\/a> by Doc Searls and David Weinberger I saw on Slashdot<\/a> today:<\/p>\n

All we need to do is pay attention to what the Internet really is. It’s not hard. The Net isn’t rocket science. It isn’t even 6th grade science fair, when you get right down to it. We can end the tragedy of Repetitive Mistake Syndrome in our lifetimes \u00d1 and save a few trillion dollars\u00d5 worth of dumb decisions \u00d1 if we can just remember one simple fact: the Net is a world of ends. You’re at one end, and everybody and everything else are at the other ends.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
