I hate it when Mondays don’t go well. Sets the tone for the rest of the week.
Hooray! 15 days later, my family in Houston finally has electricity again!
New reading material: Good to Great, Three Cups of Tea. New music: two classic Pixies CDs.
Are the candidates listening to Lehrer’s questions at all? They’re good questions that are going unanswered.
Go Lehrer! Don’t drop the question! This is going to be fun! What a skilled moderator.
Smart post-debate coverage on PBS. NPR guys are on-location and giving notes.
Hear that? Our lesson from Iraq is to not use a failed strategy. I should seriously stop using failed strategies. How could I be so blind?
Why do we believe that we “must” respond to this “crisis”? I would like to see that point debated and not just brushed off as a given.
McCain should stop making sarcastic or “funny” comments. They’re just sad.
“The point is this is one of the most important irrevocable economic decisions we...”
– Stephen Colbert (as seen on 25 Harshest Reactions To the Wall Street Bailout - 10 Zen Monkeys (via Justin))
JPMorgan ChaseMutual ?
Cirrection: JPMorgan Bear Chase Mutual
WaMu too? I don’t have words to describe this week. Seems like we’re going completely bankrupt fast. Ron Paul+Dave Ramsey 2008!
“The value of our dollar and the level of our interest rates are not supposed to...”
– Congressman Ron Paul, 2002
I wish after a long 14 hours at the factory, I could come back and read exciting and positive news about our economy and government.
When was the last time the security level was not orange?
Thank you, small airports, for free wifi.
Just finished 300 with @rifftrax and @flyingdog porter. Great combo!
Off to Iowa for the weekend. Sounds amazing, doesn’t it?
Can I delete my LinkedIn account now? Thanks.
Happy Birthday, @jstayton !

This video is like a keepsake. I vividly remember watching it on Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood. Now this is what I do every day!
The Big Picture does Ike right. http://tinyurl.com/6b9syq
If conservatives really cared about cutting spending, Ron Paul would be still in the running. So ridiculous. I can barely watch.
I honestly love how Texas’ leaders answer questions on TV. The high level of personal responsibility is quite evident. Stark contrast to LA.
My dream was gladly not reality. Just filled up for less than reg gas for first time since last year.
“We have no problems with looting in Texas. We have guns and use them when necessary.”
Dreamed of diesel prices rising a penny/minute. Youch.
“We told people to leave. If they decided to stay, then they’ll have to wait until it’s safe for us to come back to help them.”

Praying for everyone in Houston tonight. Especially my family. Talk to you again when power and Internet are back, mom and dad! Be safe.
Wow, great resource: http://www.eatwild.com/products/index.html (via Jesse)
Why did I just read a huge article by @gruber on Steve Jobs’ health? Should have been poking my eyeballs out instead.
Seems like we were talking about more actual issues during the primaries than we are now. Where did this American Idol Election come from?
The scale of Ike is really just mind blowing. http://tinyurl.com/3vjcez
I get the most interesting responses from people who see me using a Mac in a factory. Mostly shock and surprise, really.
Does anyone really think that Saturn is “rethinking everything”?
I wonder if any @RiffTrax and Hulu movies coincide. That’d be handy.
Thinking I might hit up Flying Saucer for a little food and drink before the week really gets started.
AirFoil is cool except it’s useless for website video (like Hulu). The lag is unbearable.
Working on funding/sponsoring a senior design project at LU next year. Exciting!
“For libertarians - in the broadest sense of the small “l” word...”
– The Libertarian Case for Palin
Time to find some @flyingdog doctoberfest!
What music do you like to wake up to?
Can’t beat a gin & tonic to cool down and relax after a rough week.
Wow, thanks VMware AutoProtect. Just saved me a ton of hassle. Proves again that (Windows+VMware+Mac) > (Windows+PC).
