song of the day: midnight train to georgia by Gladys Knight and the Pips.
my drinking game didn't work out too well. I was working as I listened to the debates, so I couldn't play. And I forgot to add the 4 drink "bush slams self for mispronouncing". There is some good discussion at metafilter about the debate. as usual.
With these robot candidates, it should be easy to come up with a debate drinking game. (It might be the only way to make the debate interesting.)

I was feeling sluggish this morning so I walked over to Grateful Bagel to get a coffee product. When I opened the door, the guy behind the side counter yelled, "POW!" My heart rate jumped up about 100 beats per minute. I think that was all I needed. I ordered the mocha anyway.
Today's date sounds like a telephone long distance prefix thingy: 10-10-2000.
Another Dylan song is song of the day: Hurricane. To see him obviously framed, couldn't help but make me feel ashamed to live in a land where justice is a game.
jack is back! (omg.) I love the new design. I think he proves red is the new orange.
This whole digital revolution needs some songs. We need some folk songs that tell the story of the early days of the Internet. We need some folk songs that tell stories about web people. I have some ideas for titles:
- Bobby Kahn at BBN
- Packet Switch Blues
- Ballad of the RFC
- Ode to Berners-Lee
- Wars and Standards
- 10,000 Coders in Soma
- Broken IPO
- We Blog
song of the day: The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down by The Band. You can't raise a Caine back up when he's in defeat.
song of the day: Ode to Billy Joe by Bobbie Gentry. And now you tell me Billy Joe's jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge.
I'm speaking to you live from my new office in Sebastopol. I'm sharing some space with the generous folks at Via Pacifica Imports - Importers of Fine New Zealand Wine. And one of the perks should be obvious.
