onfocus

Today is the fifth anniversary of onfocus.com! I registered this domain on November 20th, 1998 when I was still going to school in Nebraska. The next day I moved my weblog to this domain (or most likely I pointed the domain at the server it was on). The weblog is still here in 2003, and it has lived on many different servers along the way. If you've been reading the site for a while, thanks for tuning in. This site sure has come a long way from its humble beginnings of me simply posting whatever is on my mind—along with pictures I take—in a reverse-chronological format.

yep, a long way.

I know most of the country was probably glued to their TV sets last night, watching the 30-hour Senate marathon on C-SPAN. It's no surprise then that states are clamoring to roll out their own riveting versions of C-SPAN for their own state governments. Luckily Oregonians can already watch the daily political grind on OPAN. I'm sure it is televised representative government at its finest! (Channel 27 in Corvallis.) [via OSU Barometer]

Stewart put together two quotes from two Presidents about war.

Update 11/9/2007: Since Stewart's site is no longer available, you can find the quotes in the archive: sylloge: Remembrance Day 2003.

If you haven't seen American Splendor yet, you should. It is the best movie I've seen this year by far. Sad, touching, artful, human, beautiful.
